Located on one of Princeton's most distinguished streets in the Western Section, this stately Craftsman blends historic character with modern updates. Original millwork, pocket doors, leaded glass windows, high ceilings, and wood floors highlight the home's timeless craftsmanship. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a Wolf professional range, copper range hood, and a generous center island, opening to a sunny breakfast area with access to decks, patio, and a beautifully landscaped backyard. A butler's pantry and powder room are conveniently located nearby. Five spacious bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath span three light-filled levels. Two home offices and a charming sleeping porch offer flexible work and retreat space. Fireplaces anchor the living and dining rooms, and the basement provides additional storage. Outdoor living includes a covered side porch, two-tiered decks, stone patio, and a private backyard with a custom shed. Ideally located close to downtown Princeton, Princeton University, shops, restaurants, and commuter trains.
