Presenting an unheard-of opportunity immediately adjacent to McCarter Theater, with an endless schedule of world-class performances, and steps from the Dinky train station, making jaunts into the city a breeze! And while the entire campus of Princeton University is yours to explore, this home comes with an extra lot, offering all the outdoor space you could want right in the cultural epicenter of town. The second lot opens up a host of possibilities, including a future ADU or the urban garden of your dreams. Even with an existing two-car garage and additional parking, there is so much grassy lawn left to use as you please. The interior of the handsome brick house is ready for a renovation, but there is ample space to work with and charming original features to highlight. A beautiful staircase greets you in the foyer and a fireplace anchors the large living room. There are three full bathrooms, including one on the first floor. Throughout, sunny rooms are bright white, most with hardwood flooring. Come with all your ideas and fulfill your dreams of in-town living, along with the potential for future rental income.
