Property Description
Nestled on the highly sought-after Dodds Lane, within Princeton's Littlebrook neighborhood — this beautifully updated Colonial offers the perfect balance of charm, privacy, and walkability. Zoned and walkable to top-rated Princeton Public Schools. Set on a generous and tranquil 0.76-acre lot, the property is embraced by mature shade trees and bordered at the rear by Terhune Road — a secluded, township-maintained lane with no driveways and lined with preserved woodlands. This serene stretch doubles as the neighborhood's informal park, ideal for morning jogs, dog walks, and leisurely bike rides.** A double gate at the rear of the property opens to a widened pathway, offering both easy access for landscaping and a shortcut to the paved trail that leads directly to Smoyer Park. Just steps from your backyard, the park offers sports fields, a community garden, a playground, and wide-open space for year-round recreation. For everyday groceries and essentials, the Princeton Shopping Center is conveniently located just 1.5 miles away. The University and downtown Princeton's quintessential shops, cafes and restaurants are less than 3 miles away. ** This thoughtfully renovated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial combines timeless character with modern comfort. A gracious center hall opens to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a spacious dining room, ideal for hosting. The open-concept kitchen and family room is the heart of the home, boasting rich cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek Silestone countertops – framed by a wall of windows and sliding glass doors that flood the space with natural light.**
A standout feature of this home is the versatile sun-drenched studio addition with multiple skylights and wall-to-wall windows. Currently used as a playroom, this space includes a full bathroom and offers endless potential as a home office, creative space, or guest suite. A nearby mud and laundry room adds everyday convenience.** Step outside to a private backyard oasis designed for both relaxation and play. Professionally landscaped, the yard features multiple stone patios and winding stone paths through colorful garden beds, and a lush lawn expanded by the current owners to include a grassy play area with a custom-built sandbox. The tree-shaded center patio is an ideal spot to host a garden party or enjoy quiet moments next to the koi pond.** Upstairs, four tranquil bedrooms and two updated bathrooms offer ample space for everyone. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and an abundance of natural light.** Located within walking distance to top-rated Princeton public schools, this rare offering delivers the ultimate Princeton lifestyle—peaceful, connected, and effortlessly elegant.
