Plus, there’s a fully finished third floor with two bonus rooms—ready to become a home gym, playroom, art studio, or a cozy TV lounge. French doors lead to a private wraparound deck, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or hosting dinner under the stars. The fenced backyard offers room to relax or play and connects directly to the 3-acre Princeton Way Park, with its playground, walking trails, and picnic area. It’s like having your own park in your backyard! Additional perks include a garage, an unfinished basement for extra storage, and modern updates like an upgraded HVAC system, tankless water heater, Ring doorbell, and ADT security system.
