Built circa 1968 and thoughtfully expanded in 2006, this classic Princeton home has the kind of character that comes from years of love. Set on a lush, fenced 2.172-acre lot surrounded by beautiful homes, it offers five bedrooms, three full and two half bathrooms plus a shimmering swimming pool. A large screened porch overlooks the backyard and pool, while inside, a fireplace anchors the living room and a handsome wood-sheathed library, complete with its own half bathroom, feels rich with character. Dutch and pocket doors lead to the combined kitchen/ family room and the dining room. All are comfortable spaces with plenty of room to gather. Added in 2006, the first-floor primary suite is substantial and private, with a sitting room, a wall of bookcases, door to the backyard, and a large custom skylit walk-in closet. The en suite bathroom includes a whirlpool tub and separate shower.A striking wall of windows extends through the suite and primary hallway, framing views across the beautiful yard and pool and bringing the outdoors into this part of the home. Also on this level are another half bathroom, the laundry room, and a mudroom near the entrance to the two-car garage, where painted floors add a neat, finished touch. Throughout, the wood floors have been recently refinished and the walls are painted in neutral tones. Four additional bedrooms upstairs include the home's original primary suite with its own full bathroom. Three more bedrooms share the hall bath. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds the fenced yard, patio, and pool. While some updating will bring a fresh perspective, the home is comfortable as it stands, allowing changes to be made over time. With gracious proportions and a beautiful Princeton setting, the ingredients are already here for something truly special.
