About this home
This lovely Federal/Greek Revival home (Circa 1830-1840) is located on one of the coveted Princeton 'tree streets. This Steadman-era house was moved to this site sometime after 1875 - and is thought to have been moved from Nassau Street or Alexander Street. The renowned architect, Charles Steadman, is said to have transformed Princeton from a brick and stone village into a New England-style town of wood and classical influences. A covered front porch welcomes you into a bright living room with a wall of built-ins, hardwood floors & recessed lighting. The spacious dining room boasts built-in corner cabinetry and a wet bar with cabinets above and wine cooler below. The kitchen will delight an avid cook - with Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking range (with pot-filler), Bosch dishwasher, center island, corner pantry, granite counters and subway tile back-splash. The sun-drenched kitchen also features a delightful corner breakfast 'nook' with banquette. Ascend the vintage, turned stairs to 3 Bedrooms and an updated Bath with vaulted ceiling, double vanity, soaking tub and walk-in shower. The 2nd floor also features a convenient office nook and laundry area (with built-in ironing board.) Make your way outside to the blue-stone patio and beyond to a large (16’ x 16’) out building which features electricity, heat, a large storage loft and a charming barn door. The rear yard (a secret garden!) boasts a stone walkway and a wide variety of colorful shrubs and flowers. The driveway offers off-street parking for 2 cars and there is a partial basement for additional storage. Located one block off Nassau Street, it offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, transportation, the Princeton Public Library and more. This home is truly a gem!...
