A zip-everywhere location puts the Princeton Shopping Center, Princeton High School and a variety of parks just a mile away from this home, with the brand new Whole Foods only 2.5 miles up the road. Yet, the big, fenced backyard feels wonderfully removed from it all, with mature trees and green plantings creating a leafy backdrop for patio gatherings and relaxing on the screened porch. Inside, hardwood floors and French doors lend timeless appeal, while important updates include a new 2025 furnace and a converted gas fireplace for dependable comfort. A wide bank of windows brightens the living room, and the generously sized dining room is ready for everything from holiday dinners to casual get-togethers. The blue-and-white kitchen has a cheerful, classic look, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a spot for sipping your morning coffee. Just steps away, a laundry/powder room adds everyday convenience. Both the hall bath and en suite primary bath are fully tiled. In the primary bedroom, separate closets include a true walk-in, while the largest of the three additional bedrooms offers flexibility as a playroom or quiet space to work from home. There is storage galore in the walk-up attic and the refreshed basement. Out front, a wide driveway makes guest parking easy and allows plenty of room to maneuver when exiting the two-car garage. With a lovely backyard, practical updates and an easy connection to town, this is a wonderful opportunity to settle into the Princeton lifestyle everyone talks about.
