Just four miles from Princeton University and set along a private drive, this two-story Cape has lovely views that stretch to the meandering Stony Brook at the edge of the property. The living room serves as a gracious gathering space on the main level with built-in bookshelves, a decorative fireplace and French doors opening to a veranda . There are two bedrooms and an updated full bath on this level, with one bedroom accessing the veranda. The walkout lower level offers a completely updated kitchen with plenty of cabinetry, a tile backsplash, stainless appliances, Quartz countertops and a breakfast bar area. Adjacent to the kitchen is the family/dining room with wood-burning stove. As befits a cottage-style space, a Dutch door opens to the patio and lets in views of the rear grounds. A bedroom, updated full bath, laundry and utility spaces complete this level. Neutral colors and window treatments, plenty of natural light and hardwood and wood laminate floors are sure to fit nearly any style. Grab a copy of your favorite "cottage-style decor" magazine and bring your ideas to life at this quintessential Cape. Two-car garage, garden space and offstreet parking for two cars.
