This classic center hall Colonial in Littlebrook offers four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a two-car side-entry garage, and a large unfinished basement on .75 acres. The property’s right corner abuts the Gulick Preserve, providing direct access to scenic hiking trails from your own backyard. Inside, the center hall opens to a formal dining room on one side and a front-to-back living room with a fireplace framed by floor-to-ceiling built-ins on the other. The updated kitchen includes a pass-through to the breakfast room, which features a wall of windows overlooking the yard, while a nearby hall leads to the powder room, garage, and access to both a covered and step-down patio. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bath, while three additional bedrooms share a hall bath. Hardwood floors exist in living rooms and one bedroom, and the recent removal of carpeting in three additional bedrooms, the upstairs hall, staircase, and family room has revealed more wood floors in excellent condition. Some perimeter nail tack strips remain, so care should be taken when previewing. The home awaits a fresh coat of paint and bathroom updates to reach its full potential. Located in the desirable Littlebrook School District, with school bus pick-up at the edge of the driveway for Princeton Middle and High Schools. The property offers some practical updates: the roof is new, central air was replaced 2011, hot water heater and chimney liner in 2013, and the furnace - though it's age is unknown, is serviced annually by Redding's. The windows are original and the gutters were cleaned in August of 2025. Just minutes from downtown Princeton's shopping, dining, theater and university, this home offers the perfect blend of location and potential.
