Describing the big front porch, the brochure for this original Sears Roebuck house reads, "Here under the shade of its roof, you may enjoy leisure hours during summer on a swing or easy chair." In its laidback setting of 1.38 acres, the bungalow style home erected in the 1920's indeed feels like a leisurely country getaway, yet stands conveniently on a quiet spur off Princeton's Great Road.

In its laidback setting of 1.38 acres, the bungalow style home erected in the 1920's indeed feels like a leisurely country getaway, yet stands conveniently on a quiet spur off Princeton's Great Road. A fresh coat of white paint brightens the exterior and every room within. Refinished wood floors begin in the living room with fireplace and continue into the sizable dining room. The eat-in kitchen opens to the laundry and the family room, a later addition with a vaulted ceiling above 2 huge windows. A side deck overlooks the charming garden shed, or "Wendy House", as the present owners have lovingly called it. A privately situated full bath serves a bedroom and den on the main level. A second full bath upstairs serves three more bedrooms.
