    What's special

    Elegant, inviting, stunning, and warm are only a few words that can describe this lovely home! Welcome to this amazing property located on one of Princetons most iconic residential streets, Prospect Avenue ?? just a stones throw away from the Princeton University campus and Nassau Street with its popular restaurants, cafes and shops! This wonderful 4 bed, 2.5 bath colonial comes with a dream gourmet kitchen featuring tall cabinetry, natural soapstone countertops, large center island, elegant backsplash, top of the line Viking appliances (6-burner range, refrigerator, and Dishwasher), and a built-in Sharp microwave! Neutral colors, gorgeous hardwood floors and plenty of recessed lighting throughout! Both the Living and Family Rooms have working wood-burning fireplaces. The spacious primary bedroom - one of four bedrooms on the upper level - is complemented with its own en-suite bath, and ample closets including a walk-in dressing area. The basement is partially finished with ample storage space and while its currently being used as a gym, it can be repurposed for additional living space, or a media center. But wait - perhaps the most alluring feature of this home is its private and serene backyard, which can be enjoyed from most rooms of the house, but best from the inviting screened porch or the large bluestone patio. This property is a true gem waiting for the love of its next owners! Come in and feast your eyes on this lovely home while its still??on??the??market! Highest and Best offers are due by 1:00 pm on Tuesday, March 14.
