Description

Life in downtown Princeton has a certain rhythm: morning coffee runs, last-minute dinners out, evenings that end with a lecture or a movie, and this house puts you right in step with all of it! Less than a block from Nassau Street, you can leave the car parked and let the town unfold before you. From the moment you push open the original front Dutch door, the house makes its case. Wavy glass windows catch the light in a way new construction never quite can, deep moldings frame each room, and high ceilings give everything room to breathe. Bay windows create natural perches for reading or people-watching, while built-ins and window seats make the living spaces feel both polished and easy to settle into. Two staircases add a layer of everyday practicality you didn’t know you needed. The kitchen is bright, generous, and ready for real use with granite counters, white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-proportioned and filled with light. The primary suite stands out with its arched entry and sleek, updated bathroom. Another bathroom offers a soaking tub with classic detailing that nods to the home’s past without feeling stuck in it. The top floor is where things get interesting. This tucked-away level, with a peaked ceiling and multiple bonus spaces that can shift with your life, offers options for a home office, studio, guest retreat, or simply a place to disappear for a while. And then there’s the outside: a deep yard (a rarity this close to town), a deck, a front porch with a swing that feels made for unwinding at the end of the day, and driveway parking to keep the cars off the street. Homes like this don’t come up often!
