Welcome to the nicest Dutch Colonial in town! This home in the Littlebrook section of Princeton has a brick facade and a side entry garage that adds architectural beauty and curb appeal. It sits on a 0.81 acre lot that backs to township open space, a great spot for neighborhood picnics. You are greeted with a long driveway, upgraded landscaping and a walkway that brings you to a fantastic designer front door. The foyer is large and flanked by a spacious front to back living area and complemented by a large walk-in guest closet on one side. On the left of the foyer is the powder room and the family room.

The breakfast room is open to the dining area and the kitchen with bar stool seating. The kitchen boasts high end appliances by Subzero, Wolf and Miele, and the countertops are granite. From the kitchen the glass double doors bring you to the family room with a fireplace. This versatile family room could also be used as a formal dining room and the front to back living area could be converted to a great room that could hold a grand piano. The laundry room and through it the two car garage are conveniently located just off the kitchen. On the upper level there are five good sized bedrooms, all with built-in bookshelves, and some with built-in benches, and with generously sized closets.

The storage area in the basement houses the utilities. The backyard patio takes you up a few steps to a large lawn. Where the lot ends in the back and behind the bordering trees is the township open space.
