RED BRICK IN PRINCETON! Perched on a pleasant, woodsy, and VERY PRIVATE 1.98 acre hillside with abundant parking. Enter the front door and step onto the hardwood floors that flow from foyer to living room with its striking late 50s floor-to-ceiling sleek stone fireplace, bookended by two equally tall and beautifully proportioned south facing windows, providing light and ambience to this central gathering place. The kitchen, with its comfortable eating area, is accessed from both foyer and living room, and is adjacent to the lovely sunroom, surrounded on three sides by views of nature. Hardwood floors also lead to the three-bedroom wing with full bath at the opposite end of the home. Kitchen has newish appliances (2019-2020). Counters on both sides of kitchen offer lots of elbow room for cooking. The backyard deck off kitchen provides an enchanting vista for entertaining and meals. Downstairs is a large and heated basement room housing utilities but with additional space for an office or playroom, with adjoining half bath and opening to oversized 2-car garage. Solidly built on a poured concrete foundation in 1958, with a new roof in 2011, with bathroom updates and a new septic installed in 2014, this house does still need additional love. Five minutes from Princeton University, Princeton Shopping Center, downtown shopping, and the Princeton public schools. Bring your imagination and dreams to make this home blossom in its large, unique and natural setting . . . and with its IMPOSSIBLY CONVENIENT LOCATION!
