A coveted "Tree Street" location, vintage charm, and classic look makes this house the perfect one for you. House was completely remodeled in 2018 to make a first floor master suite with a large walk-in closet, glass shower, separate lav area, double sink, and heated floors. Master suite also includes its own washer and dryer unit. The beautiful kitchen includes original hardwoods, stainless steel appliances, gas stove with a pot filler, custom cabinetry throughout and top of the line countertops. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and two bathrooms updated and modernized for today’s look. Both the first and second floors have their own central air conditioner/heater system and their own washer and dryer units. The basement area has been completely redone and a water and sump pump system will keep the basement nice and dry. Plenty of storage space or area to use for more space A deep backyard includes a 2-car garage, and a long driveway for plenty of off-street parking - lucky, because leaving the car at home will become routine in this wonderful in-town location just down the block from Small World Coffee, Hoagie Haven, and Blue Point Grill! Also within a half mile of Princeton University and Princeton High School.
For more information please contact owner. Only serious inquiries please. In order to see the house you will need to provide financial statement showing adequate funding.
