About this home
With head-turning curb appeal, a backyard that opens directly to Princeton Battlefield Park and a kitchen by celebrity designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, this charming Cape is the perfect package. Dormers, window boxes and easy parking for three or more cars create an inviting first impression, while around back, a newly enlarged deck and stone patio bask in the unexpected tranquility of a tree-lined backyard with a rear gate opening directly to the park. Inside, flawless wood floors flow through the open living room, breakfast area and renovated kitchen showcasing richly veined marble, warm brass accents, modern lighting and an induction range, with gas cooking also available. The perfectly coordinated first-floor full bath lends overnight hosting flexibility to a nearby den with a built-in bar. Behind the spruced-up fireplace, a skylit sunroom with terra cotta tile flooring offers exceptional versatility for work, play or entertaining, complete with a private deck. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms share a bath tiled floor-to-ceiling in Carrara marble. The garage was ingeniously converted into a storage-rich mudroom with laundry and extra space for hobbies or fitness, yet it’s easy to reclaim for vehicle use thanks to a second washer and dryer in the large basement. This historic location, which saw the turning point of the American Revolution, is just 1.5 miles from downtown Princeton, 2.5 miles from major shopping destinations and just as close to Johnson Park School.
