In a quiet neighborhood celebrated for its large lots, majestic trees and easy access to commuter routes and top public and private schools, this solid all-brick home offers ample space and undeniable quality on over two acres. A screened porch expansion by architect Cathy Knight extends outdoor living, providing a shaded setting for dining and lounging with a clear view of the fenced pool. Two fenced gardens, a sports court and handsome storage sheds also make full use of the picturesque property. Inside, hardwood floors run through generous entertaining spaces and the family room, where built-ins, a fireplace, and exposed brick lend warmth and character. The eat-in kitchen is highly functional thanks to its central location, plentiful storage and durable granite-topped prep space. A nearby full bath with curbless shower serves poolgoers and enhances the versatility of the first floor. Upstairs hardwood floors continue into five bedrooms, including a two-room primary suite, also expanded by Knight. With an en suite bath and ample space, this sun-drenched corner retreat is open for customization. The beautifully bright third floor with its own full bath and loads of cedar-lined storage serves as a work-from-home haven, a cheerful play room or yet another bedroom suite, if needed. There’s also space for recreation in the basement, complete with a full-bath and a third fireplace. With newer heating and air conditioning systems already in place, this is a home where future enhancements will be well rewarded, especially in such an exceptional Princeton setting. Fireplaces and chimneys are being sold in strictly as-is condition. Buyer should confirm square footage.
