Abuting a reserve on 2.1 bucolic acres, an absolutely charming cottage provides tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby Princeton. A hedged path lines the walk to the front portico and welcomes into sunny and cheerful rooms. An arched doorway separates living and dining rooms, both filled with warm touches and soothing timber floors. Two bedrooms are served by an updated black and white checkered bathroom. Cook up a great meal in the cozy kitchen and enjoy it on the screened porch overlooking the garden. Storage is abundant in a floored attic assessed via pull down stairs or in the well-utilized basement with laundry facilities. A little oasis in Lawrence Township with a Princeton address, this home would make a wonderful nest for first time buyers or for those looking to scale back without compromising location.
