Property Description

In close proximity to McCarter Theatre, the Dinky train and the storied grounds of Princeton University, this in-town home offers the rare chance to create something all your own in one of Princeton’s most exciting locations. From world-class performances and lively restaurants to beautiful campus pathways and effortless trips into the city, everything is at your doorstep. The clapboard exterior and vestibule entry hint at the home’s enduring character, while inside, generous rooms with original hardwood floors and abundant natural light provide a strong foundation for renovation and personalization. Authentic details lend charm and warmth, including a gracious staircase, four fireplaces, built-ins and a glass-enclosed mudroom. There are three to four bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, plus ample storage and a bedroom on the third floor. The backyard is sweet and shady with a stone path leading right to McCarter’s entrance. Easy off-street parking completes the in-town experience. Whether your vision leans toward preserving historic character, introducing sophisticated modern updates or creating an investment opportunity in a premier location, this property is brimming with potential.
