Description

Owned by the same family since it was built, this home has been well-loved and cared for over the years and it shows! Not necessary, but opportunities abound to add your own touches. Located just down the road from Lake Carnegie, in Princeton’s beloved Littlebrook neighborhood, it is set back from the road on a deep lot surrounded by mature shade trees and is full of character. A solid home with 3 finished levels and hardwood floors that beautify both upstairs and down. The front-to-back living room...Owned by the same family since it was built, this home has been well-loved and cared for over the years and it shows! Not necessary, but opportunities abound to add your own touches. Located just down the road from Lake Carnegie, in Princeton’s beloved Littlebrook neighborhood, it is set back from the road on a deep lot surrounded by mature shade trees and is full of character. A solid home with 3 finished levels and hardwood floors that beautify both upstairs and down. The front-to-back living room includes a fireplace and opens to a sunroom. The original kitchen is awaiting your modern-day vision, whether that’s to bump it out and make it bigger or work within its ample footprint. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are spacious and sunny. The lower level has easy to maintain wood paneled walls with handcrafted lighting accents making it the ultimate rec room. Public water, public sewer and gas heat, a wonderful opportunity in a great location!
