There's are lots of houses with Princeton addresses, but few feature a short walk to the center of town, Princeton University and notable Community Park! All things considered, this upgraded 3 Bedroom, 2-1/2 Bath duplex is being offered at a bargain price for its prestigious Princeton location and blue-ribbon schools. Its Kitchen was upgraded in stages with: new cabinets (2004); countertop, SS double-sink, and European style, a solid wood door to the back porch that matched the wood cabinets (2010); peninsula added (2013); new stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave (2015); and gorgeous new porcelain floor (2018). The Living Room boasts a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and there are covered side and back porches, the back porch was resurfaced with ceramic tiles (2014). The house ceilings, doors and some rooms were freshly painted (2018). The oak hardwood floors in the Living Room, staircase to the 2nd floor and in all three bedrooms were refinished (2018). All 3 bathrooms were upgraded in 2004 and the main 2nd floor Bathroom was upgraded again in 2017. The home's heating, ventilating and air conditioner (HVAC) system was replaced in 2004 and it was upgraded in 2015 with a new electronic regulator. The home is sunny and bright and features a private backyard with mature trees, landscaping and a shed (being sold "As Is"). Moreover, the excellent location of this house permitted the present owners, who frequently travelled for business and pleasure and did not want to leave the house vacant, to rent it for short periods of time on Airbnb, for rewarding extra cash (details upon request). The field entrance to Community Park is located about 100 yards from the house and features: jogging paths; baseball and soccer fields; an enormous main pool with a water slide and a fantastic wading pool and a snack bar; 15 gorgeous regulation tennis courts, and a number of platform tennis courts! Make sure you take a look at this listings Virtual Tour (available soon) to see all said here! Lastly, this house has some historical significance in that it along with five other adjacent duplexes were called "Rainbow Houses" due to their once decorative brick exteriors (this one now covered with aluminum siding).
