Serenely blending into the surrounds of prestigious Governors Lane, this rare single family sits on a parcel that includes an enclosed garden with a patio which is visible from the breakfast nook, you can watch hummingbirds visit the red honeysuckle, and a two-car garage. Natural light is on display throughout the day in rooms that exude a designer feel. Siding the entrance hall and creating an impressive welcome are gorgeous formal rooms with wood floors and decorative pillars. A gas fireplace warms up the living room and a bay window with plantation shutters draws in the eye in the dining room. The well-appointed kitchen features a large center island, a vaulted ceiling with skylights, and high-end appliances. The main bedroom suite is also on the first floor opposite a home office and features double walk-ins and a big en suite bath. For guests or an au pair, the third floor has its own full bathroom and a kitchenette. The other three bedrooms and a bathroom are on the second floor. A cheerful finished basement has lofty ceilings and houses the laundry, too. Ample green space for residents to enjoy, all fully maintained by the neighborhood HOA, making this the perfect low maintenance home. Ideally positioned to appreciate all that Princeton has to offer, including the University, shopping, the theater, the finest prep schools, and excellent dining, there’s so much to love about this fabulous home!
