Description

As an end unit with fantastic natural light, easy extra parking and a modernized floor plan courtesy of the experts at Lasley Brahaney, this Governors Lane townhouse is a superior offering. A path to the formal entry invites guests into the foyer, while the garage leads to a private brick courtyard, the perfect outdoor oasis right off the kitchen. Walls were strategically removed to open up the most used areas of the home, giving
the cook an opportunity to socialize while working at the island.

A path to the formal entry invites guests into the foyer, while the garage leads to a private brick courtyard, the perfect outdoor oasis right off the kitchen. Walls were strategically removed to open up the most used areas of the home, giving
the cook an opportunity to socialize while working at the island. Use the adjoining space as a dining or sitting area. There’s still plenty more space for formal meals and entertaining in the nearby living room, full of beautiful traditional features. An open staircase lined with wainscotting leads down to the finished lower level, where a cedar closet is hidden within one of the generous storage rooms. While the second floor is
cleverly designed for flexibility, it serves perfectly as a comprehensive primary suite with lovely sunrise views, the luxury of two marble-tiled full bathrooms separated by a long corridor of custom closets, and an inviting study. Hardwood floors in nice condition run all the way up to the top level, where a roomy full bath stands conveniently between two big bedrooms, both with walk-in closets. Not only is this townhome in the perfect spot within the Governors Lane community, it also enjoys quick access to Princeton Shopping Center, schools, parks and town!
