This sun-filled three-bedroom ranch in a leafy north Princeton neighborhood pairs easy indoor-outdoor living with the kind of oversized lot that offers exciting possibilities for the future. Behind the home, a huge, fenced backyard has room for a pool, gardening, recreation, or a thoughtful home expansion. Inside, sunlight pours through picture, casement, transom, and skylight windows, giving the home a cheerful feel throughout the day. The layout flows effortlessly from one room to the next, united by attractive, modern flooring. At the center is an updated kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and a wraparound counter with seating. Nearby, the family room with cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a fireplace opens to the patio through sliding glass doors. The primary bedroom also connects directly to the outdoors through its own set of sliding doors. Two additional bedrooms line the hall, where there’s a wall of bookshelves and cabinetry, along with an up-to-date bathroom. Comfortable as it is, yet filled with long-term potential, move right in and enjoy Princeton living today while leaving room to imagine what could come next.
