About this home

Public showings on Sunday, July 5, 2026 2-4 pm. Welcome to this 2011 built Colonial, just steps from in-town Princeton. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a fully finished basement, and 3, 179 square feet of living space, it sits within a mile of Nassau Street, the Princeton Shopping Center, and in Princeton School District - one of the top school districts in the state. Move in now and you'll still have time to settle in before the new semester starts. Hardwood floors flow through sun-filled living spaces anchored by a gas fireplace with a custom mantel. The formal dining room opens to a chef's kitchen with a granite island, pendant lighting, and skylights, flowing into a four-season sunroom with cathedral ceilings. A wainscoted home office, powder room, pantry, and mudroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa bath with a travertine shower, soaking tub, and double vanity, plus three more bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room. The finished basement adds a media room, pool/game room, recording studio, full bath, and a flexible fifth bedroom. Outside: a Trex deck, raised patio, fenced yard, whole-house generator, and a two-car garage with EV charger. Sophisticated, sustainable, move-in ready.
