Arrive at this beautifully updated 1920s Colonial to find history and modern flair mingle with ease. In what was once Princeton Borough, it is just a few short blocks away from the middle and high schools. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by an up-to-the-minute kitchen and polished floors. But this home hasn’t forgotten its classic roots either, with arched doorways, stained glass accents, and built-ins that keep the charm alive. The main level boasts a primary suite complete with its own en suite bath and a private door leading outside for those who value a quick morning breath of fresh air. Upstairs, are three more bedrooms, each with its own personality. One has a straight staircase to the attic. The lower level offers up yet another bathroom, making this home as practical as it is pretty. Bibliophiles will be over the moon with a wall of shelves in the fireside living room. The adjoining sunroom and spacious dining room make entertaining a breeze, and when summer is the season, a patio surrounded by lush blooms and mature plantings is your go-to spot for al fresco dining. This home is on a low-traffic street conveniently located to so much, you’ll rarely need the car. Schools, the Princeton Shopping Center, the library, and the university are all within easy reach.
