Just a short walk to Palmer Square, Princeton University, and the shops, dining, and culture that define this vibrant town, this 3 Bed/1 Bath home offers the perfect blend of classic character and convenient in-town living. A beautifully landscaped front yard is welcoming with climbing ivy arching over the front entrance, setting a tone of old-world European charm.

A skylight at the top of the staircase fills the landing and hallway with soft, natural light, creating an airy and uplifting atmosphere throughout the second level. The full basement includes laundry and plenty of storage. Step outside to a nicely sized fenced backyard-ideal for entertaining or private relaxation-with room for a firepit, grill, and gardening.
