Enjoy rural living with convenient access to work and nearby towns! This home with its relaxed and flexible floor plan, comfortable spaces upstairs and down, invites you to match it to your lifestyle. From the tile-floored foyer with its double-deep coat closet turn left to the generous living room, with its large brick fireplace and raised hearth. Throughout the seasons, look out the bay window across the patio to landscaped beds and watch birds visiting the feeder. The bright kitchen has been remodeled for maximum convenience with is large Corian-topped peninsula and breakfast bar, double sink, maple cabinetry, Bosch dishwasher, electric stove with lower warming drawer, and built-in microwave over the stove. Wow! Host your dream dinner parties in the especially large dining room easily accommodating a 10-foot long dining table! A powder room completes the first floor. One staircase takes you up to the primary bedroom, second bedroom (currently a double home office), main bath, and that oh-so-desirable second floor laundry. A second staircase takes you up to two more bedrooms, one with a raised ceiling and cedar closet, and a full bath. New AC Splits in September 2021 cool the house in summer and provide heat in fall and spring. In warm weather, take full advantage of your over three and a half acres with in-ground pool, and room for badminton, bocce, croquet...whatever you choose. There is a 2,500 square foot, fenced, organic vegetable garden, apple, pear & peach trees, blueberry & raspberry bushes, plus your very own strawberry bed! Grow your own, share with friends, freeze the extra for winter. Interested in exploring the great outdoors? You're close to the Delaware and Raritan Canal and towpath, and Griggstown Grasslands Preserve. Terrific Storage in the 3-car attached garage, plus two sheds for all your gardening and lawn gear. The bonus to all this peaceful living, is being just minutes from excellent shopping, restaurants, corporate centers, commuting roads & rails, and all the amenities of downtown Princeton! This property comes with a Home Warranty. Pool "as is." Septic tank pumped June 16 and was fine. PWTA well water tests passed in all categories.
