What's special

Build a brand-new house with public sewer and public water amidst a lot of old-world charm. Beautiful one acre lot with mature rare trees is ready for a new house. This parcel was historically part of Clarke Farm and evokes a genteel dignity of another era as it neighbors Princeton's Battlefield Park and the 1726 Quaker Meetinghouse. It includes a small cottage known as the "Toll House" which is part of the National Historic Register. The Toll House had subsequent newer additions added, but these are now dilapidated and without historical significance and may be removed by the buyer. The value of this property is in the land. The new house will be located further back on the lot.
