This Princeton charmer is the unicorn you've been searching for! Cozy and bursting with character, this Colonial is just waiting for your personal touch. Start your morning on the front porch and enjoy your evenings on the back deck. The open living and dining rooms are just the right size for relaxing and/or hosting. The spacious eat-in kitchen is adjacent to an oversized laundry and mudroom, which also houses a full bath. Upstairs, three bedrooms and another bright hall bath offer restful retreats, all bathed in natural light from the many windows. This home also enjoys the benefits of a recent energy retrofit with new insulation, new on-demand heating and hot water system, and new plumbing. No need to worry about parking; the shared driveway has room for three cars. Just seven blocks from Nassau Street and close to the library, coffee shops, favorite restaurants, and schools. There’s even a playground with a splashpad right across the street!
