Description

In the heart of Montgomery down a long private drive on 5.3 serene acres, this all-brick single level home embraces its extensive manicured landscape with a sizable deck, patio, a sunroom off the kitchen that is perfect for an herb garden, and a made-for-entertaining layout. Tucked in the woods but not isolated by any means, you’d never guess blue ribbon schools, shopping, and downtown Princeton were so close to this neat-as-a-pin home. Adding to the spacious floor plan are a full finished basement...In the heart of Montgomery down a long private drive on 5.3 serene acres, this all-brick single level home embraces its extensive manicured landscape with a sizable deck, patio, a sunroom off the kitchen that is perfect for an herb garden, and a made-for-entertaining layout. Tucked in the woods but not isolated by any means, you’d never guess blue ribbon schools, shopping, and downtown Princeton were so close to this neat-as-a-pin home. Adding to the spacious floor plan are a full finished basement with a recreation room featuring a wood-burning stove, a workshop, craft room, and a half bath. A wood-burning fireplace keeps the living room toasty adjacent to the large formal dining room. Both are enhanced by wood floors. The cook will love the eat-in kitchen with its oversized walk-in pantry to keep things organized. The spacious family room, currently used as a home office, also features wood floors and opens to the deck. For guests, one of the four bedrooms and a full bath are in their own corner of the house. The other 3 bedrooms and 2 more baths include the main suite with plenty of closet storage. Two sheds supplement the two-car garage for garden supplies and machinery. Please do NOT drive down driveway without an appointment,
