253 Hawthorne Ave, Princeton, NJ 08540

Welcome to 253 Hawthorne Ave, a unique redesign of a property that respects the old but embraces today s lifestyle. As you enter the property, you are greeted by the natural light that pours in from the skylight on the second floor, the windows located in the rear of the home and the front entry windows. Note, the original shelves on either side of the entry. Just off the entry, is a vestibule and the half bath. The kitchen is the heart of the home with its large Ceasar Stone topped island, which is perfect for food prep, eating and gathering around. The stainless steel appliances gleam. The pendants over the island and sink prep area add ambiance and style. Granite counters provide more prep area. The back splash tile brings a cool design element with its stone and glass tile combination. The Living room and kitchen are separated by original columns and low book shelves. The current owner added the stylish gas fireplace with stone tile surround, built-ins and book cases. One of the built-ins has an ingenious pull out audio visual storage. Large picture windows bring more light in. The dining room is large and has recessed lighting like most of the home. Three bedrooms including the master suite can be found on the second floor. The Master has a walk in closet, and a separate California Closet storage system for more hanging space. The master bath has a double vanity and large shower. There is also useful built in shelving. The third bedroom is currently used as an office but all cabinets can be easily removed. The basement is excellent for storage and provides access to the one car garage. The Paramount waterproofing system in the basement has a transferable lifetime warranty. The laundry is on first floor just off kitchen. The home has a charming patio and garden beds full of perennial plants which provide a wonderful show. Close to downtown, shopping center, schools and university, you really are in the center of it all! All you need to do is unpack!
