Welcome to 38 Carter Rd, a fully renovated sanctuary set on 1.45 sprawling acres in desirable Princeton. Modern design and structural upgrades converge to offer a completely turn-key residence tailored for both everyday comfort and outdoor entertaining. From the moment you arrive, contemporary five-lite double doors make a striking first impression. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully reimagined layout featuring high-end finishes at every turn.

High-end holiday lights professionally strung through the surrounding trees add a magical evening touch. Major functional systems have been updated for peace of mind, including a new septic system (2025), new HVAC system (2025), new well pump system, and new rain gutters, along with the added security of a whole-house backup generator. Conveniently located just minutes from Route 295 and Route 1, you'll enjoy quick access to everyday shopping essentials-including Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Target-as well as the charming downtowns of Lawrenceville and Princeton. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate proximity to the 22-mile Lawrence Hopewell Trail, the Johnson Trolley Line, and scenic Mercer Meadows.
