Tucked away in a leafy paradise surrounded by preserved land, this Mid-Century modern gem promises peace and privacy for generations. Step inside, and you'll be wowed by the sparkling wood floors that catch every ray of sunshine streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The gardens are lush and green, and nearly every room opens out to these botanical beauties, making nature your constant companion. The living and great rooms spill out onto a deck with built-in seating. The open kitchen is a dream with its central island and stainless appliances and is adjoined by a big, sunny sunroom that's perfect year-round. One of the three spacious bedrooms sits next to a powder room and a closet, just waiting to be turned into a full bathroom if you desire. The other two bedrooms each have a full bath of their own, perfect for keeping the peace in the mornings. Step outside to find your own secret garden hidden within a fenced courtyard, an ideal spot for a quiet escape. With fresh hardscaping and landscaping all around, grounds are easy on the eyes and easy to maintain. A true Princeton oasis!
