Wake up to views of the Princeton University campus, then step outside to the iconic Palmer Square Tiger, where the best coffee is waiting right around the corner. This beautifully updated two-bedroom condo in the heart of downtown is surprisingly spacious. Both bedrooms offer two closets and the eat-in kitchen is fully equipped - rare luxuries in Palmer Square. Bosch and Fisher Paykel appliances, along with a washer/dryer, join ample cabinetry, all of it lightly used after a renovation by previous owners. The bathroom is just as clean and stylish with a marble tile floor and glass shower doors. Hardwood floors, neutral colors, French doors and a decorative fireplace preserve the large living room’s timeless appeal, while easy access to the colorfully planted courtyard delivers an outdoor escape away from the bustle of town. With even more storage space in the basement, this rare Palmer Square offering is both tasteful and practical. Some photos may be virtually staged.

Set directly at Palmer Square, in the heart of downtown Princeton, this penthouse puts fine dining, cafes, boutiques, and the town's cultural life just steps from your door — true walkable, in-town living. Inside, the home offers something rare for this setting: real space to breathe. At approximately 2,235 square feet, notably larger than most units in the building, high ceilings and a flow of natural light throughout give the home an openness that belies its in-town setting. The two bedrooms sit in opposite corners of the unit, each with its own en suite bath, creating genuine separation and privacy — ideal for a couple who wants room to spread out, or for guests who deserve a suite of their own rather than a spare room down the hall. Two separate elevators reinforce the sense of ease: one carries you directly from the secure parking garage to your private back door, bypassing stairs and weather entirely, while a second delivers guests to a gracious foyer entrance appointed with a powder room, a display niche for artwork, and French doors opening to a handsome study. The formal dining room and an oversized living room both feature Juliet balconies and tray ceilings that further the sense of scale, with abundant space for entertaining. The kitchen is outfitted with Viking cooking appliances, a Bosch refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and generous granite counter space opening to a sunny breakfast area. Thoughtful storage rounds out the layout, from deep closets to a built-in cupboard tucked within a pillared half-wall, plus additional basement storage available to residents. With HOA-covered common area maintenance and snow removal, one garage parking space for an additional fee, and every convenience of true elevator-to-elevator living, this penthouse pairs Palmer Square's unmatched location with space, light, and privacy rarely found in-town.

With a lofty feel, southern exposure and a quietly tucked-away position, this like-new townhouse feels refreshingly different from most of its Residences at Palmer Square neighbors. Follow a tree-lined walkway to the covered entrance, where a private elevator awaits in the tiled foyer. Large rooms with 9-foot ceilings and sunlight galore spread out above. Come evening, the glow of a double-sided, gas fireplace can be enjoyed from both the living room and dining room. While every cuisine imaginable - from gourmet tasting menus to locally made ice cream - is within a block or two, home cooks will still be eager to put the suite of Viking appliances to use. Ample counter space, a walk-in pantry and an openly adjoining family room/breakfast area are in line with what one might expect of a single-family home. Upstairs, all three bedroom suites are generously sized with organized walk-in closets and flawless wood floors. Each marble tiled bathroom is spotless and offers a deep tub for long soaks. Being in the epicenter of bustling Princeton makes a car-free lifestyle a real possibility, but reserved parking in the on-site garage is always available. Some photos are virtually staged.

With a view of The Arts Council’s vibrant mural and festive lighting, this like-new Residences at Palmer Square townhouse basks in the buzz of city living. It is literally steps from Princeton’s word-class library, award-winning restaurants and an array of charming shops, yet treetop level bedrooms feel utterly serene. A pretty pathway guides you to a covered entrance, where a private elevator is ready to carry tired feet and bags full of fresh produce purchased at the weekly farmers’ market up to the Viking-equipped kitchen. Living spaces are lined with huge windows, including a versatile breakfast room and formal rooms divided by a double-sided, gas fireplace encouraging cozy nights in. A gracious staircase ascends to three luxuriously sized bedroom suites, each with custom organized closets and private bathrooms tiled in shades of cream and mocha. Crown molding and hardwood floors maintain a traditionally elegant aesthetic. A garage is on-site with reserved spots available, but in a location like this, you may find a car unnecessary!
