Princeton's history is alive and well in this brick farm house style home that court house records show was built in 1856. Oh if the walls could talk.......Today this home is available and priced reasonably enough to allow the next owners to add their own history. With a circular asphalt driveway the home sits back away from the road yet is walking distance to town. A location that gives opportunities for possible home businesses or a place to raise a family. The home has a main level with plenty of living space. A second level has 3 bedrooms with one of the rooms having a built in "bunk bed" with room for two beds. Home has many thermal windows and a fireplace in family room. The enclosed porch faces to the East, although not heated, there is plenty of sunshine and a great place to greet guests. A survey was recently done and is available for viewing. The property has a easement along the far West side. A final survey will be done to split the land from parcel to East so lot sizes listed are approximate . We see lots of opportunities in this homes location. City zoning is B2. Zoning and a buyers use should be confirmed by City of Princeton Zoning office. Lots of possibilities await the next owners. Easy to show. Come look.
