Description

Less than six miles to the Princeton Junction Train Station and beautifully integrated with its surrounding greenery with an expansive new patio playing center stage to the backyard and a breezy covered veranda decorating the front, this home welcomes with traditional good looks, a freshly painted exterior, and an impressive number of recent updates. Step inside to a naturally illuminated central hallway that runs front to back to a set of glass doors spilling onto the rear patio. Fanning from here...Less than six miles to the Princeton Junction Train Station and beautifully integrated with its surrounding greenery with an expansive new patio playing center stage to the backyard and a breezy covered veranda decorating the front, this home welcomes with traditional good looks, a freshly painted exterior, and an impressive number of recent updates. Step inside to a naturally illuminated central hallway that runs front to back to a set of glass doors spilling onto the rear patio. Fanning from here is a powder room, the study, and the front parlor with freshly refinished hardwood floors. The dining room is adjacent, creating the perfect flow for entertaining, also with refinished wood floors, a built-in china cabinet, and attractive crown and chair rail moldings. A chef-inspired gourmet kitchen will wow the serious cook with a huge island peninsula topped in attractive granite with a new porcelain farm sink and new Grohe faucet. The stainless steel six-burner Wolf range includes a grill and there are a stainless Sub-zero refrigerator and a new wine cooler to supplement a temperature-controlled wine closet in the partially finished basement. A casual dining area features a stone-surround gas fireplace and door to the patio. An archway delineates these two spaces while maintaining this home s open, airy connectedness. The sunken family room is just the right size to relax and enjoy its wood-burning fireplace with marble surround. Large, transom-topped windows add to all the wonderful natural light that makes up this home. Near the garage entrance, find a mudroom with cubbies, one of two laundry rooms, a second powder room and pantry storage. Every room of this home was painted in soothing, neutral colors in recent years making it the perfect backdrop for all styles of furnishings. Front and back stairs lead up to five bedrooms, all with new wood floors and three renovated bathrooms. The master suite is the ideal retreat with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets - one with organizers - and a private bathroom with new quartz counter vanities and Kohler fixtures, a new oversized shower with glass doors and built-in benches, and a Jacuzzi corner tub. Both guest bathrooms were taken down to the studs and completely re-built - one with an air jet tub and both with heated flooring. One is a Jack and Jill bath between two bedrooms. The third is in the hall next to an oversized fourth bedroom with a door that connects it to the fifth. A second laundry room comes in handy in the hall. All the interior doors were replaced with solid doors and new hardware. A built-in window seat on the main staircase landing contributes to this delightful home's laidback, yet stylish interior. Perfect to move in and enjoy from day one, many systems have been updated or replaced as well.ed at front entry
