See agent remarks for Highest and Best information. Sunny Split-Level Seconds from Everything! A lush green backyard with a stone patio comes as a wonderful surprise at this Princeton property in a zip-everywhere location. The revitalized Princeton Shopping Center, fantastic public schools, sprawling parks and more are all easy to reach in seconds! The whole interior is freshly painted with hardwood floors throughout four bedrooms and nearly all of the main level. The exception is an incredible family room addition featuring the handsome combination of a tile floor beneath a lofty beadboard ceiling. The eat-in kitchen, with black granite atop white cabinetry, openly overlooks this space and also flows into the dining room. A fireplace is a traditional touch in the front living room. Just as sunny as above, the lower level offers a bonus room and a big laundry room. The main suite has its own bathroom, allowing the larger hall bath to serve two nearby bedrooms with breezy ceiling fans and a big bedroom on its very own level, ideal for those who want a little extra privacy. A guest parking spot supplements the attached garage and allows vehicles to turn around with ease. If you want to take full advantage of Princeton’s diverse cultural, recreational and educational offerings, this house is a great option!
