Property Description

A premium end position within the refined Governors Lane enclave presents a warm welcome to visitors, complete with easy guest parking steps from the formal entry. Inside, everyone is greeted with freshly buffed hardwood floors, flawless white walls and classic millwork. Gas fireplaces further the traditional appeal in the large living room, where sunlight streams in on three sides, and the family room, crowned with a cathedral ceiling. The open kitchen layout is ideal for socializing while preparing meals at the gas cooktop. Spread everything out across the expanse of granite, then invite friends to get comfortable and linger in the beautiful dining room. The private brick courtyard, larger than most, is another option for gracious entertaining, or peaceful alone time amidst pretty plantings. The second floor is ideally suited as an all-encompassing primary suite with the uncommon luxury of two bright full bathrooms separated by a corridor of closets, as well as a study featuring warm wood built-ins around yet another fireplace. While this design offers flexibility for overnight guests, there are still two more big bedrooms upstairs served by an all-white bath. Several walk-in closets can be found throughout the home, in addition to storage space off the finished basement game room, which boasts brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring. Quiet Governors Lane is right around the corner from Princeton Shopping Center, an array of professional services and fantastic schools. Some images have been virtually staged.
