There’s a lot more space than expected in this Princeton Greens end-unit, with three finished levels, a two-car garage, and an easy-to-reach location that puts both Princeton and the Princeton Junction train station within easy reach. Wood floors run through the living room, where some of the windows have been replaced and a fireplace, offered as-is, anchors the room. The dining room feels more dressed up with shadowbox wainscoting and glass doors opening to a spacious deck. There’s plenty of room for a table in the kitchen, along with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. A powder room is nearby. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have wood floors. The primary suite gets the standout bathroom, beautifully renovated with bold tile in an oversized shower, a separate bathtub, and a furniture-style double vanity. There’s also a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms share the hall bath, and the laundry is also on this level. The daylight lower level is another pleasant surprise. A large room with its own outside entrance could easily become a home office, TV room, gym, or a combination of uses. There’s also a half bath and storage, and this level connects directly to the two-car garage. The roof was replaced 4 years ago and new AC installed in 2025. Princeton Greens stretches between Canal Pointe Boulevard and the D&R Canal making the towpath a convenient place to get some exercise. The community includes landscaped open spaces, tennis courts, and two playgrounds. Perhaps best of all is how easy it is to get around from here. Trains to New York and Philadelphia are close by, Princeton University and downtown Princeton are right up the road, and Route 1 is practically around the corner. All this without losing the leafy, established feel of a long-established neighborhood.
