Description

For many, tree-lined Jefferson Road epitomizes the best of Princeton living. Top-notch schools are a stroll away, town is easily accessible by shady sidewalks and the homes are utterly charming and full of character. This rosy-hued colonial is among the most eye-catching and it only gets better as you head to the backyard! A long driveway that accommodates at least four cars extends past the gate to a converted studio, perfect for imaginative play or a gardener’s getaway. The yard is a celebration...For many, tree-lined Jefferson Road epitomizes the best of Princeton living. Top-notch schools are a stroll away, town is easily accessible by shady sidewalks and the homes are utterly charming and full of character. This rosy-hued colonial is among the most eye-catching and it only gets better as you head to the backyard! A long driveway that accommodates at least four cars extends past the gate to a converted studio, perfect for imaginative play or a gardener’s getaway. The yard is a celebration of color that continues through the seasons, from springtime tulips to ornamental fall grasses, plus fruit-bearing trees, like persimmon and fig. Signature details of the 1920’s era are found throughout the freshly painted interior: arched entryways, handcrafted radiator covers and a brick fireplace, to name a few. What comes as a complete surprise is a full apartment tucked beyond the sunroom, where options abound. With a bedroom, kitchen, full bath and separate entrance, it can be rented, with or without the sunroom. It could also become a future first floor main suite or simply serve as ultra-private guest quarters. The kitchen feels both up-to-date and period-appropriate with stainless steel appliances and beaded wood cabinetry, complete with a handy tiled powder room nearby. Built-ins enhance storage in both the living and dining rooms. Hardwood floors continue upstairs, where a generous landing opens to a central bath and 3 bedrooms, one with exposure to north, east and west sunlight.
