Perfectly positioned along one of Princeton’s favorite in-town streets, just steps from the town’s renowned public schools, this turnkey home is a stand-out with architect-designed additions and modern enhancements. The extraordinary backyard makes it even more appealing with layers of continuous seasonal blooms surrounding a durable Ipe wood deck, bluestone patio and a hidden fire pit area. HardiPlank siding, a brand new roof and Andersen 400 Series windows create a crisp exterior, while upgrades, including dual-zone HVAC with a new furnace, foam insulation, recessed LED lighting and an EV charger, enhance efficiency and comfort. Enter into gleaming hardwood floors that flow through sun-filled spaces. Triple windows brighten both the living room, anchored by a fireplace, and the elegant dining room. The kitchen features leathered granite countertops for a timeless look with incomparable durability, along with a walk-in pantry and 6-burner Wolf range. High ceilings, transom windows and built-ins surround a Scandinavian metal Morso stove that warms the inviting family room and beyond. A spacious office beside a full bath offers flexibility for potential future first-floor accommodations. Upstairs, the main suite feels airy and serene with high ceilings, dual walk-in closets and a soothing aqua-tiled bath featuring a rain shower and floating vanity. Three additional bedrooms, including one with a beamed barrel-vaulted ceiling, and a crisp black-and-white hall bath branch from a skylit hallway. An attached garage and custom mudroom are indispensable perks not always found in a location as unbeatable as this!
