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.
