Irresistible curb appeal and an enviable Littlebrook location make this home a must-see, and once you get a peek at the bright and airy interior, it will shoot to the top of your list. A previous top-to-bottom renovation created spaces that cater to a modern lifestyle and opened up entertaining areas for an effortless flow. Under current ownership, new features have optimized the home’s 21st century functionality. Solar panels, smart home systems and a newly finished basement with gym and play areas are among the many improvements. A trio of uninterrupted spaces greet guests arriving at the front door, while a mud entry near the garage has organized storage ready to stow the everyday essentials of a busy household. A generously sized powder room is right around the corner. With a custom pantry, a pro-style Thermador range, a newer dishwasher and an island where everyone can pull up a seat, the larger-than-expected kitchen is a dream for cooks and their helpers. The family room adjoins, but is its own stand-alone space with built-in shelving around a gas fireplace and wide doors that welcome in light and invite leisurely moments out on the paver patio. You’ll find the laundry upstairs, along with four bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. Customized closets are abundant and the cathedral main suite has the walk-in you’ve been dreaming of across from a roomy private bath. The fenced lot features a grassy lawn edged with flowering trees and plentiful blooms that pop up year after year, as well as a raised bed vegetable garden to encourage healthy living. All this is well under a mile from fantastic public schools serving every grade, K-12, as well as the bustling Princeton Shopping Center.
