About This Home

278 Hamilton Ave

This Cape Cod-style home, situated in a prime Princeton, NJ location, offers four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with two bedrooms and one full bathroom conveniently located on each floor. Hardwood floors can be found throughout the home, flowing from modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances to the large living room featuring a wood-burning oven that not only adds warmth during the winter months but also boasts a double wall insulated stainless steel chimney for enhanced efficiency and safety. Designed by the well known designer and MIT professor of architecture, Rafi Segal, an addition was built that transformed the garage into a studio, perfect for extra working space. The half bath is off the deck and can easily access the studio. The sun-soaked home boasts nine skylights: four skylights are in the upstairs bedrooms, one above the stairwell, and five in the new addition. Recent upgrades to the home include the replacement of old wooden windows with new, energy-efficient plastic windows, offering improved insulation, plus a new HVAC unit that ensures optimal comfort and climate control throughout the seasons. In addition, new pvc have been put under the house, replacing the old metal pipe system. This fenced-in property features a meticulously landscaped backyard adorned with a wide range of vibrant flowers, plants, and extra trees, including two peach trees and various types of berry bushes. The addition of three sheds in the garden provides ample storage options for any belongings or equipment that may be needed. Through a comprehensive renovation process, the property's backyard has been expertly regraded and redirected to ensure efficient water flow away from the basement, providing a perpetually dry environment, even during severe storms, without the need for a water pump. Rounding out the exterior of the property is the 2-car driveway. This home is in a perfect location as it is walkable to shopping centers, downtown Princeton, parks, and schools such as Princeton University, Princeton Middle School, and Princeton High School. Don’t miss out on this move-in ready, New Jersey gem!
