An inviting covered porch welcomes you to this charming three-bedroom colonial, nestled on a beautifully landscaped lot in the desirable Colonial Lakes community. The main level features a welcoming entry foyer that leads to a spacious, step-up living room bathed in natural light from a large Andersen picture window. The updated eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan and a pantry--perfect for every day living and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen you'll find a generously sized dining room, a versatile office or den and a convenient first-floor laundry room with direct access to the backyard. A stylishly updated half bath with a modern vanity completes this level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers two closets, including a walk-in, while two additional bedrooms provide ample space and storage. A full hall bath with a tub/shower combination serves this level. Enjoy outdoor living in the private backyard, complete with mature landscaping and a patio ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Hardwood floors beneath all carpeted areas (except the dining room), and most windows have been upgraded to Andersen. Additional features include ceiling fans in most rooms, a whole-house attic fan, an unfinished basement for extra storage and a one-car attached garage. Major systems have been updated: the roof, heater and air conditioning were replaced in 2010 and the hot water heater is just five years old. This home is a short stroll (about a mile) to the walking bridge that connects to beautiful Colonial Lake Park. Great location for commuters - a short drive to Hamilton or Princeton Jct Train stations, nearby the Interstate and about a ten minute drive to downtown Princeton. A clear Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the Township.
