Description

A rare find in Princeton’s coveted Littlebrook neighborhood: more than 3,700 square feet of thoughtfully upgraded living space with five bedrooms, five full baths, and an exceptionally walkable location. Built in 2017 and continually improved since, this light-filled home is just a short stroll from Littlebrook Elementary, Princeton Middle School and Princeton High School, and the shops and restaurants of Princeton Shopping Center. A dramatic two-story foyer makes an immediate impression, with formal living and dining rooms flanking the entry. Nine-foot ceilings, Brazilian hardwood floors, and abundant natural light create bright, beautifully proportioned interiors. The newly redesigned kitchen pairs quartzite countertops and a matching full-height backsplash with Jenn-Air appliances, designer lighting, white oak shelving, and a floor-to-ceiling pantry. It opens to a soaring, skylit family room anchored by a fireplace and a wall of glass doors leading to the expanded deck and professionally reimagined backyard, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. The main level is equally thoughtful. A private fifth bedroom, currently used as a study, features built-in bookshelves and a California Closets-designed closet, with a full bath nearby—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or working from home. A dedicated mudroom with built-in storage keeps busy routines organized. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a sitting area, generous walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. Three additional bedrooms include a Jack-and-Jill arrangement and a private en-suite. The finished lower level adds flexible space for media, fitness, recreation, or play, plus a full bath and exceptional storage. Outside, the professionally regraded and relandscaped property features new fencing, fresh plantings, and an expanded deck for outdoor living. A two-car garage with premium flooring and an EV charger completes the home. Beautifully updated, exceptionally well located, and ready to enjoy from day one.
