Description: Welcome home to this elegantly sited, 5 bedroom center hall residence that is truly walkable to Pennington's Main Street shops, restaurants and schools with convenient access to Princeton's commuter routes, trains & numerous corporate centers. Set on a slight rise in the grounds, the sweeping front lawn creates an ideal curb appeal, while allowing for a nicely private feel to the property. Gleaming hardwood flooring throughout most of the home readily enhances the inviting floor plan that is well suited to for an ease of entertaining, as well as everyday living. Flanking the center hall entry are the generously scaled formal living room & dining room ? with comfortable transitions towards the heart of the home. The open kitchen with breakfast room is the ideal pivot point access for the brick hearth-warmed family room, huge screened porch, the 1st floor 5th bedroom/office & bath, and of course the generous mudroom/laundry room. Richly toned Granite counter tops grace the more than ample white-on-white cabinetry, that is anchored by the S/S appliance suite & double door pantry. The second level, also graced by site-finished hardwood flooring, is wonderfully laid out so as to provide a well-considered separation of the four bedrooms. The master suite, with its beautifully unique master bath complete with elegant freestanding soaking tub, huge cedar lined walk-thru closet that leads to a private, almost concealed office/sitting room, is an ideal respite at day's end. The 3 secondary bedrooms are generously sized truly allowing for an ease of furnishing, not often seen these days. The professionally finished basement is smartly configured so as to allow for multiple flexible living spaces ? a media room, a game room, a 2nd family room, a home gym & ample storage ? they all nicely fit together here. The privately landscaped back & side yards provide a peaceful retreat with a wrap- around paver stone patio & lush lawns that roll out from the screened sun porch. Stacked stone garden walls, a charming barn-board trimmed garden shed, mature shade trees and peace & quiet belie the ideal, almost "in-town" location of this classic home.
