On a tranquil portion of historic Library Place, this lovely home sits back gracefully from the street, buffered by flowering pear trees and a spacious front lawn. Beautifully updated, this home is elegant and contemporary with character and rich hardwoods found around every corner, in a floor plan that is as perfect for entertaining as it is for a quiet day at home. Leaded casement windows and a fireplace bring old-world glamour to the living room; an adjoining dining room is celebration-sized. The home's cornerstone is its kitchen and family room combination, whose volume ceilings, white cabinetry, and ample windows send light dancing; there are granite tops, a cook island and a built-in buffet. A lovely and spacious stone patio connects here and to a backyard with flowering trees and a row of gorgeous rhododendrons that enhance the view from the kitchen's picture windows. A huge bookcase lined study with built in desks adjoins the kitchen. Glass tile gleams at the vanity top and harlequin backsplash in the hall bath, handy to a den/bedroom. Upstairs, a luxurious master suite has a fireplace, many closets and a gorgeous, spacious renovated bathroom with a custom built vanity, marble floors, deluxe shower, a soaking tub and built-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, just as well-finished. With two garages and sidewalks away from Princeton University, enjoy the fine culture, shops and restaurants of downtown! Assessed as a 3-bedroom with an additional first floor den.
