About this home

Welcome to this bright, airy and spacious Palmer model in Princeton Landing, a desirable neighborhood close to Princeton and the Princeton Junction train station. The contemporary design greets you with multiple ceiling heights as you enter the open-concept layout that naturally flows from the foyer to the living, dining and family rooms. On your way in you'll pass the private open courtyard, visible from the entryway slider and windows on several levels. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops and newer appliances, and its large window and natural flow to the dining and family rooms makes it central to entertaining. Befitting its contemporary design, the generously spacious primary bedroom is on its own level as you make your way up the window-lit staircase. In addition to the upgraded primary bath it features a deceivingly large walk-in closet that runs the width of the room. Two more bedrooms with their own main bath occupy the top level, allowing a feeling of privacy for those occupants and their neighbors in the primary bedroom below. A most-welcome feature of the home is the beautifully finished basement, which offers ample room for entertainment and a room for work, study or another dedicated task. A generously-sized rear deck and a two-car garage complete the impression that this home seems much larger than its advertised area. Upgrades are plenty: a new fridge and water heater; recently upgraded stove, washer and dryer; newer flooring on the bedroom levels and stairs; updated baths and powder room; plus heavy-duty loft storage in the garage. Throw in the fact that Route 1 is nearby yet far enough to mask its existence and the proximity to Carnegie Lake, and this home is a gem just waiting for its new owner.
