About this home

Perfectly positioned just steps from Palmer Square and Princeton University, this exceptional condominium offers a unique combination of downtown walkability, generous living space, and the rare convenience of a deeded parking space, an amenity few residences in the heart of Princeton can offer. Set within one of Princeton's distinguished historic buildings, this thoughtfully curated home seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with sophisticated modern design. Solid wide-plank hardwood flooring runs throughout, complemented by 9-foot ceilings, fresh interior paint, designer light fixtures, and smart lighting that create a warm, refined atmosphere from the moment you enter. The living room is anchored by a functional wood-burning fireplace with an elegant arched masonry opening, complemented by three-panel wainscoting and a scenic wallpaper overmantel that highlight the home's original architectural character. Large windows, framed by plantation shutters, offer lovely views of the surrounding gardens and mature landscaping, creating a peaceful outlook throughout the year. The spacious kitchen, a rarity in downtown Princeton, boasts an impressive footprint with abundant workspace and features brand-new Cafe appliances, including a sleek dishwasher drawer, complemented by updated cabinet hardware. The oversized bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bedroom suite with room to spare and features custom California Closets designed to maximize storage while maintaining a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. Additional highlights include a newer full-size in-unit washer and dryer, deeded attic storage, and the added tranquility of having no residence above. Ownership is refreshingly low-maintenance, with an association that includes heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior maintenance, and landscaping. Step outside to enjoy everything downtown Princeton has to offer, from Palmer Square's renowned restaurants, cafes, boutiques, parks, and cultural attractions, to Princeton University's iconic campus, all just steps away.
