    What's special

    Multiple ceiling heightsTwo-car garageNew refrigeratorWindow-lit staircaseContemporary designUpgraded primary bathRenovated kitchen
    A fresh new look! This home was just completely repainted, with new flooring installed throughout the main level. Welcome to this bright, airy and spacious Palmer model in Princeton Landing, a desirable neighborhood in the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district, close to Princeton and the Princeton Junction train station. The contemporary design greets you with multiple ceiling heights as you enter the open-concept layout that naturally flows from the foyer to the living, dining and family rooms. On your way in you'll pass the private open courtyard, visible from the entryway slider and windows on every level. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops, a new refrigerator and newer gas range and dishwasher. Its large window allows copious light, and the natural flow to the dining and family rooms makes it central to entertaining. Befitting its contemporary design, the generously spacious primary bedroom is on its own level as you make your way up the window-lit staircase. In addition to the upgraded primary bath it features a deceivingly large walk-in closet that runs the width of the room. Two more bedrooms with their own main bath occupy the top level, allowing a feeling of privacy for those occupants and their neighbors in the primary bedroom below. A most-welcome feature of the home is the beautifully finished basement, which offers ample room for entertainment and a room for work, study or other dedicated tasks. A generously-sized rear deck and a two-car garage complete the impression that this home seems much larger than its advertised area. Upgrades are plenty in addition to those already listed: a new water heater, washer and dryer; newer flooring on the bedroom levels and stairs; updated baths and powder room; plus heavy-duty loft storage in the garage. Throw in the fact that Route 1 is nearby yet far enough away to mask its existence and the proximity to Carnegie Lake, and this home is a gem just waiting for its new owner. *Virtual staging was added to several room photos to spark your imagination.*
