A coffered family room with deep blue bookcases is currently set up as a chic office; French doors lead to a charming greenhouse. Pocket doors lead to a stunning powder room, and the finished basement, which offers a pair of rec areas - one with an under-the-stairs reading nook. A fireplace and picture window imbue the vast living room with warmth; French doors lead from the dining room to a brick patio. An oversized brick fireplace adds farmhouse flair to a large eat-in kitchen, with a laundry/mudroom adjoining. Upstairs are a beautiful hall bath and 4 delightful bedrooms that include 2 with ceiling-high bookcases; the main suite feels like a boutique hotel with its spa bath. Backed by a fenced yard, this deep, 1+ acre sits in Princeton’s beloved Johnson Park School district, and is just a short drive from downtown.
