Don’t miss this elegant Brick Front custom colonial with ample lighting and a well thought out layout on 1.1 acre in prestigious West Windsor. Approaching fourth thousand square feet of finished space above grade, this home offers four bedrooms, three full modern baths, and a recently remodeled kitchen. For added space, enjoy a well lit, heated, and cooled four season sun room plus an upper level great room just off the primary bedroom! This home offers many new and updated features, including a large open foyer with hardwood floors, sky lights in multiple locations, plus a formal living room and dining room, both with hardwood floors and palladium windows. The large gourmet kitchen is updated and offers a full suite of Jenn-Air stainless steel appliances, an oversized center island, ceramic floors, and a subway tile backsplash. Additionally, the kitchen has a breakfast room, ample cabinets and countertops to use as media center or for homework, and sliding doors to the deck. Off the Kitchen is a cozy family room featuring a recently upgraded gas fireplace, and sliding doors to the four season room with tiled floors and an expansive view of the beautiful yard and sunset views. Preserved farmland behind the home ensures a tranquil setting. Enjoy ease of access to the large deck from kitchen, family room or laundry room for outdoor fun & enjoyment. The house is situated on a large open lot in a tranquil setting with mature landscaping and privacy. On the second level, skylights provide for natural lighting to start your day. Relax in your primary bedroom with a recently renovated full bath, featuring a luxurious soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual sinks. As is the case with all the bedrooms, the main bedroom has overhead lighting ceiling fans, and also has nicely done trim work throughout. The main bedroom also features an attached great room accessed through six panel French Doors; currently used as a study, this space would also work as an office, gym, or media room. Down the hall, past the updated main bathroom, sits the largest of the additional bedrooms-this one has a nook IDEAL as a study or play space when not in school, or simply as a walk-in closet. Both additional bedrooms are oversized and feature ample storage, great lighting, and ceiling fans, with one additionally featuring built in shelfing and desk space. The full basement is partially finished and has storage areas at either end. Add to all of this the three car over sized side entry garage, and you have a winner! The hardware throughout this home has all been replaced and matches. The location is a commuters dream -one mile or less to the Princeton Junction trains, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South, yards from the West Windsor Public Library, and just minutes from downtown Princeton.
