    What's special

    A sweeping front yard with mature flowering trees against whitewashed brick and pillars give this home a genteel presence on the western side of Princeton. The 1.03-acre lot, part of the Johnson Park school district, has a brick patio and a greenhouse overlooking the sprawling, yet private, backyard. The gracious rooms within have charming traditional features and hardwood floors. The front foyer hosts a powder room and double doors to the family room with a coffered ceiling above deep built-ins. French doors keep the cozy space bright, just as they do in the dining room. The living room is large with a fireplace and a divided light picture window. A second fireplace, this one raised, brings visual and literal warmth to an open, wood-sheathed breakfast room adjoining the kitchen. A big mudroom comprising the laundry and connecting the garage is a forward-thinking convenience in a home of this vintage. Above, a cedar closet and an updated hall bathroom stand outside 4 bedrooms, including the master with a bath en suite. More space for work or play can be found in the finished basement, along with a storage room. Greenhouse unheated.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
