3,845 Square feet. The perfect combination of upscale, city-chic style and a fabulous location in one of Princeton’s beloved neighborhoods…introducing 35 Governors Lane. This single-family home with an attached two-car garage and private walled patio/garden offers three levels of luxury living plus a finished basement. Hardwood floors run throughout the first and second levels. Enter to a foyer that leads to the formal living room and formal dining room with walk-in bay window. A first floor office gets a pop of color and an extra dose of character from an exposed brick wall. A fully renovated kitchen and open plan family room are the perfectly designed heart of this home. The gorgeous kitchen is the picture of modern luxury with quartz counters, white cabinets, stainless steel Bosch appliances and a center island with seating, storage and a wine fridge. Sliding French doors provide access from the breakfast area which bridges the kitchen and family room, out to the walled patio. New French doors to the patio provides an enjoyable outdoor living space with lights, seating, dining table and more and enjoy this space with lovely views of the mature trees across the street from this fabulous corner location. A mud / laundry room has been outfitted with the same cabinetry as the kitchen, and the same quartz around the sink, lending beautiful form to this functional space leading to the garage. The two-car garage has an epoxy floor, built-in storage cabinets and hanging grid panels for wall storage. The second level hosts two bedrooms that share a full bath with dual sink vanity, and the primary suite. The primary suite has a spacious sitting area, two fabulous dressing rooms with custom built-in organization and a bathroom that makes every day feel like a spa day. A freestanding Victoria & Albert tub adds a sculptural element to the crisp, white room with a separate shower with seamless glass doors and marble-topped vanity with dual sinks. The third level is currently used as an office/library but could as easily become a second primary suite or guest room. Lined with built-ins, the space is warm and inviting. A Murphy bed pulls out for guest accommodations when needed. A full bath and wet bar with two refrigerated beverage drawers add convenience to this top floor. The finished basement has an exercise room, recreation space, wine closet and plenty of storage. Located in the highly rated Princeton Public Schools district, and just minutes to downtown Princeton and the University. New roof to be replaced shortly.
