Center entrance colonial on just over an acre lot in the desirable Skillman section of Montgomery with a Princeton mailing address. Hardwood floors on both levels with a great room extension off the rear with walls of windows and sliding glass doors overlooking a park-like backyard. The foyer has been expanded with a vaulted ceiling and double glass front door entry that leads into the front-to-back living room on the left with a built-in bookshelves and adjacent brick fireplace. To the right of...Center entrance colonial on just over an acre lot in the desirable Skillman section of Montgomery with a Princeton mailing address. Hardwood floors on both levels with a great room extension off the rear with walls of windows and sliding glass doors overlooking a park-like backyard. The foyer has been expanded with a vaulted ceiling and double glass front door entry that leads into the front-to-back living room on the left with a built-in bookshelves and adjacent brick fireplace. To the right of the entry is an oversized kitchen that was smartly redesigned with plenty of cabinet, counter, island and breakfast counter for easy living. A cut-out from the kitchen views into the over sized great room addition that now serves as both a dining/living space. Sliding glass doors open on two sides to the back deck steps and a stone patio for outdoor entertaining. A playroom with built-ins could serve as a great office with lots of light from the bay windows with built in windows seat, or also as a formal dining room. The floor plan lends itself to both casual and formal living, so you decide. A first floor powder and laundry room are just down the hall from the kitchen which accesses the two-car garage. Upstairs offers four square bedrooms, with the master bedroom having its own on-suite bathroom, and the other three bedrooms (all good size) share an oversized hall bath. The lower level is unfinished and offers the ability for additional living space should one decide. Just minutes to shopping on Rt. 206 and 4 miles to downtown Princeton for access to the library, restaurants, theater, University and more. Priced to sell, this home will not last long.
