Description

For the first time since its construction, and lived in by the builder's family since completed, this one of a kind charming story book of a house is being offered for sale. Not only does it have the location, great size yard but also has charm oozing out of every pore of its being. Walking up the brick path way to the front door just gives you a hint of what lies inside. The entrance has storage for coats and outer wear, including an umbrella closet! and then beyond is the formal entry.

Not only does it have the location, great size yard but also has charm oozing out of every pore of its being. Walking up the brick path way to the front door just gives you a hint of what lies inside. The entrance has storage for coats and outer wear, including an umbrella closet! and then beyond is the formal entry. The original wood trim is through out the house as well as the hard wood flooring. Note the tiny cupboard, an original telephone repository! Through into the good size and be prepared to gasp! The large picture window to the side of the room gives a stunning view of the yard and allows in lots of natural light. On one wall there is a suite of bookcases with leaded light doors straddling a window. Underneath the window is more storage. The wood mantel across the top of the stone fireplace is purported to be wood from the University, the original builder of the home helped build several buildings in campus. This, and the beamed ceiling adds to the feeling of warmth and coziness in the room. A step down to a charming bonus room with blue stone flooring. Uses for this space are endless, working, relaxing or even trying your hand at growing plants! The dining room, has a built in china hutch and more storage under the window which also provides buffet space. A good size room which lends itself to both casual and formal gatherings. The renovated kitchen is only two years old with gleaming white cabinetry and complimentary counters. The gray subway tile is on trend. There are LG stainless steel appliances and two pantries - one original to the house and the other a new addition. Access to the driveway and garage is through the door a step down from the kitchen. The three bedrooms on the second floor all share the hall bath. The main bedroom has two closets, one with custom wood pull out drawers and the second is a walk-in. There is built - in storage either side of the room, so you need little furniture! Bedrooms 2 and 3 evoke a cottage feel with dormer windows and touches like built-in drawers in bedroom 3. The dramatic window in the stair well adds lots of natural light to the second floor too. The basement is unfinished but provides storage. There is a half bath there. Note the original furnace that used to heat the home and the disused safe from Princeton Preparatory School ! The yard is a good size and has numerous mature perennials. There is a patio to the rear of the home for outside entertaining. The single car detached garage provides storage too! Item to note, the iron circular " Majestic" lid sunk in concrete near the side door is a recessed trash can - press the lever and the lid opens! Close to town and schools, what a gem!
