YOUR SEARCH STOPS HERE!! Set back from the street, and simply stunning, this gracious brick colonial offers everything you could possibly want in a house. Sunlight streams into the front entry, and the burnished, recently refinished wood floors gleam. Windows with sidelights, half moons, and transoms add architectural touches and additional light. Decorative fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom provide visual focal points and elegance. Generous sized rooms cry out for a party or family gathering, and rest assured, you can accommodate virtually any size gathering with ease. On your left as you enter the house, you will find the living room and sunroom. On your right are the banquet-size dining room and huge family room with numerous windows, and straight ahead is the updated eat-in kitchen, having tiled backsplash, built-ins, cooking island, and plenty of storage, wood cabinetry and recessed lights. Both the kitchen and family room have doors to the brick terrace, professionally planted garden beds, and two car garage. Upstairs on the second level, are four good sized bedrooms, with the primary having a decorative fireplace and access to a full bath. The other three bedrooms are really spacious and share a full hall bath. The third floor getaway offers three additional rooms. Go wild -- the possibilities are unlimited! Here is a house where you can live the life you've always dreamed of, and where you can experience all that Princeton has to offer, since it is close to Nassau Street, schools, and the University. Wait until you hear Halloween coming down the street!!
