Whether you are cooking in the renovated kitchen or entertaining in the formal dining room with guests gathered around the fireplace in the living room the view through the wall of floor to ceiling windows is exquisite. Move on outside to the expansive deck which looks out onto the professionally landscaped fenced backyard. Down the steps is a gorgeous patio where the fun continues. The current owners added an adjacent great room with vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace with custom shelving. A true mud room with functional cubbies and closets keep the house neat and clean and also makes doing laundry a pleasant experience. There are 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor with their own bath. 1 bedroom has access to the deck. Upstairs are 2 guest bedrooms with a re-done Jack n Jill bath. The master suite has vaulted ceiling and it's own balcony to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or quiet moment in the evening. You can walk to downtown Princeton and enjoy it's culture, restaurants, shopping & the buzz of college life. This house is deceiving. It's all about bringing the outside inside all year round. Square footage is listed actually 2,964 sq ft according to Princeton Township assessor.
