188 Carter Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540

Carefully modernized, yet retaining the charm of an expertly crafted 1920s Tudor, this property presents a chance to step back to a simpler time. Sunlit rooms flow effortlessly, one to the next, with solid wood floors, built in bookcases, a fireplace, plaster walls, and antique lighting and fixtures throughout. A breakfast nook offers prime viewing of a butterfly-filled garden. Nearby, the kitchen seamlessly blends an antique visage with modern high-end appliances, including a six-burner gas range. Upstairs, two bathrooms, updated yet keeping to period design, serve three bedrooms, and a newer bath serves a fourth bedroom in the finished attic.A flagstone terrace at the back of the home invites al fresco dining, and provides the perfect viewing point for the deep backyard meticulously restored by the current owner to its former English grandeur, with towering pines, boxwood hedges, tiered fountains, flower beds, climbing hydrangea, white mulberry tree, and herb garden rimmed with lavender to showcase an espaliered apple tree.
