About this home
Quietly set along one of Princeton’s most picturesque sycamore-lined streets, this lovely duplex residence offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated, move in ready home just moments from downtown Princeton, Princeton University, and the town’s top-ranked schools.
Originally built in 1931 and meticulously renovated by the award-winning Garretson Builder team, this four-bedroom condominium offers approximately 1,950 square feet of living space across three levels. Classic details are thoughtfully paired with modern craftsmanship, including newly refinished hardwood floors, black-accent Marvin windows, curated contemporary lighting, and premium Baldwin smart-key hardware.
The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless built-in appliances, and a sunlit breakfast nook. Updated bathrooms reflect a cohesive, understated aesthetic throughout.
A defining feature of the home is the private third-floor suite, highlighted by cathedral ceilings and a mint-condition full bathroom—an exceptional bonus in Princeton’s duplex-style residences. This level functions beautifully as a primary retreat, guest quarters, or executive home office, enhancing both livability and long-term value.
Infrastructure improvements include central air conditioning, gas-fired cast iron radiator heat, gas fireplace, a new asphalt shingle roof, and a shared two-car detached garage. Covered front and rear porches overlook a tranquil shared backyard with fresh landscaping, offering an unexpected sense of privacy in a walk-to-town setting.
The full basement provides generous storage and updated systems, including a French drain with battery-backed sump pump, modern electrical panel, and secure Bilco door with walk-out access to the backyard.
A rare combination of location, design, and updates in the heart of Princeton....
