What's special
Modern meets charming in this stately 4-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath property. Situated on an acre of lush green land, this home features tasteful renovations and is located in the picturesque SBACA neighborhood. As you walk up the front steps, the black wood door and detailed trim make a statement against the freshly painted white brick of the home. Stepping through the front entrance you are instantly greeted by tons of natural light, a beautiful open floor plan, and refinished original hardwood floors. The black accents of the newly installed Anderson windows throughout the home add contrast and dimension to every space. On your left is a large and chic office featuring custom built-ins, tons of natural light, and black double doors that lead out into a charming greenhouse. A beautiful powder room is hidden behind pocket doors with newly upgraded tiling and a marble countertop. Down the hall is the living room which is spacious and features tons of room for entertaining, a beautiful view of your expansive land, and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround. Continuing through to the dining room, you will find that it has tons of space to host even your biggest gatherings. You can access the back brick patio through the brand-new Anderson double doors in the dining room, making eating al fresco a must on warm summer nights. The open floor plan makes entertaining even easier as the dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen, like the rest of the home, has been newly renovated and no detail has been missed in the heart of the home. The space is dripping with opulence featuring white quartzite countertops, Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances, a custom live edge wood dining table, and an induction stove. The kitchen also features soft-close custom cabinetry and an ample amount of storage space. A stunning wood-burning fireplace sits at the back of the kitchen giving the space a cozy feeling with a white brick surround. It’s the perfect place to have your cup of coffee on frigid mornings. Make your way to the newly renovated mudroom, with updated designer tiling, a new LG washer/dryer, and new cabinetry. Take the modern staircase up to the second floor where you will find three bedrooms and the primary bedroom. Each bedroom boasts tons of space and natural light. The primary bedroom feels like an upscale boutique hotel; it’s large and airy with an incredible en suite bathroom. The bathroom features upgraded tiling throughout, a dual vanity with a marble countertop, and an abundance of cabinet space. Heading downstairs, the completely finished basement boasts hardwood floors, freshly painted walls, an under-the-stairs nook perfect for reading your favorite book, and tons of space. The fenced-in backyard is an ideal blank canvas with tons of open land where you can create the backyard of your dreams. Located in Princeton’s beloved Johnson Park School district, 973 Mercer Road is a short drive to Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Princeton Medical Center, and the charming and trendy downtown where local boutiques, shops, and restaurants reside. Make forever memories with your family in this Princeton gem.
