There's more here than meets the eye. This classic Colonial Cape Cod offers an unexpectedly spacious interior with six bedrooms, four full baths, a first-floor study, an upper laundry room and a finished basement—all in a highly walkable Princeton location. Originally a builder's home, his architect must have been a magician as the flow and room count of this property is truly spectacular and inconceivable from the outside. Upon entry is a spacious living room with a large bay window, a fireplace flanked by custom shelving and a door to the screened porch. A formal dining room flows into the expanded kitchen which features a center island plenty of cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a full wall of windows and a skylit breakfast area with a side door that makes summer entertaining and alfresco dining on the deck easy. A private study/office plus two more bedrooms (one an en suite) and a full hall bath complete this level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom and primary bath offers a walk-in closet and three more bedrooms share an updated hall bath alongside the laundry room. The lower level offers a generous size daylight family room perfect for fun and games, with a mudroom entry from the two car garage and a storage area. Walkout the back gate to Terhune and turn onto Jefferson for an easy walk to the middle and high school or out the front door to Witherspoon Street to the community pool and elementary school or keep walking straight up to town and the university! You will be shocked and delighted at the same time after previewing this one!
