An incredible opportunity awaits on a beloved street close to Princeton public schools and just a few blocks from downtown’s Nassau Street or the Princeton Shopping Center. This charming vintage home with a friendly front porch stands on a deep lot that also accommodates a workshop. This structure might be converted back to a 2+ bay garage or it could potentially become an ADU (buyer to confirm), complete with its very own yard and parking. The house already has some welcome updates, as well as hardwood floors and French doors, while some further sprucing up would transform it into an enviable in-town gem. The first floor is served by a powder room where the laundry has already been moved up from the basement. Living spaces near the kitchen and an open area outside three bedrooms upstairs are sunny spots to work, study or catch up on your favorite shows. The second floor bathroom was renovated to include a tiled shower with a gliding glass door. Hardwood flooring continues all the way up to the roomy top level suite, complete with its own bath and plenty of space to create a dressing room and/or a quiet reading area, all bathed in light streaming through six windows. Windows have been replaced on the main level, the boiler was replaced in 2023, the roof was replaced in 2017, and more. Offerings on this special street don’t come along often and the possibilities here are especially enticing… don’t wait! Property is selling in strictly as-is condition. Some images have been virtually staged.
