1041 Canal Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

This eighteenth century Colonial is right at home among the significant period properties lining the canal of historic Griggstown. New cedar siding outside and a palette of soft-toned colors paired with wide pumpkin pine flooring inside, are in keeping with its heritage. Unexpected are the high ceilings, abundant natural light and refreshing cross-breezes that enliven both floors. The front-to-back entry hall opens via French doors to the spacious living room, with a brick fireplace framed by custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Dark wood trim adds polish to all the living spaces, including the up-to-date kitchen fitted with Corian countertops, a custom pantry and tall, double-sided breakfast bar. Beyond the adjoining dining area, a powder room mirrors the kitchen's style with coordinating Corian and a family room/den announces its versatility by currently serving as an office. Upstairs, a large sunny master bedroom and two additional bedrooms, each with custom closets to help keep them tidy and organized. A colorful border and all new fixtures invigorate the fully-tiled bath. The property provides a private setting with a wooded backyard and boasts a Princeton address.
