    What's special

    Wood burning fireplaceRich hardwood floorsQuartz countertopsChicken coopMultiple garden areas
    There’s a certain kind of magic at 43 Cranbury Rd that you just don't find in cookie-cutter builds. This isn't a formal estate; it’s a soulful, fully renovated home in Princeton Junction that feels like a modern homestead. From the moment you step onto the rich hardwood floors, you’ll notice the balance of fresh, cozy updates and authentic character that makes a house feel like a haven. The layout is as practical as it is inviting. On the first floor, you'll find a thoughtfully placed guest suite, complete with its own full bath and a private entrance. It’s a versatile addition that offers independence and comfort without sacrificing the home’s cohesive feel. A wood burning fireplace compliments the open living space. Make your way to the fully updated chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, commercial range including 6 gas burners, a flat top grill, dual ovens and large range hood. The kitchen is rounded out with quartz counter tops and a massive 14 foot island with ample seating perfect for hosting the family get-togethers and parties. Upstairs, the home’s flow truly shines. The second floor features a sprawling patio that serves as a peaceful, open-air retreat. This outdoor escape is cleverly accessible from both the hallway and the primary suite, making it just as easy to host a sunset toast with guests as it is to enjoy a private morning coffee straight from your bedroom. The primary suite itself serves as a true sanctuary, featuring a soaking tub and dual vanities. With four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths in total, there is plenty of room to breathe, while the basement offers that essential "extra" space for storage. Outside, the lifestyle really comes alive. The heated in-ground saltwater fiberglass pool is ready for summer splashes and crisp autumn swims alike. For those dreaming of a bit more self-sufficiency, the property already features a chicken coop, so you can enjoy the simple joy of a backyard flock and multiple garden areas for your every botanical whim. The lot itself is expansive and full of potential. Whether you’re dreaming of vegetable gardens or exploring future possibilities like an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or subdivision (subject to township approvals), there is space here to grow your vision in the nearly 1 acre of space. All of this sits just minutes from the Princeton Junction train station, offering the perfect blend of country-soul living with an easy connection to the city. It’s honest, it’s charming, and it’s ready for its next chapter.
