307 SHADYBROOK LN Princeton, NJ 08540

Littlebrook beauty on almost an acre of land surrounded by extensive landscaping with a flat side yard that runs front-to-back bordering a babbling brook and located just around the corner from the Littlebrook Elementary School. No expense was spared in renovating this now transitional colonial-split with generous size living rooms offering five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a finished lower level and great outdoor space! Forward facing and side blue-stone walkways leads to a re-positioned front entrance that was moved to accommodate a handsome pillar porch with a blue-stone landing and steps. Upon entry your eyes feast upon the feeling of roominess and light that is a reflection of a spotlessly maintained property. In 2005, two levels were taken down to the studs and rebuilt with ownership pride and integrity, the institution of larger Kolbe windows and doors called for substantial renovation to the headers above but the overall effect was well worth the investment. The living room is spacious with a wood burning fireplace as the focal point and was expanded to include a large bay-window area that overlooks the front grounds, the kitchen and dining area were flip-flopped and the dining area was cantilevered and now sports a four-sectioned glass sliding French door that opens to an amazing blue-stone patio for outdoor entertaining. The dining area is open to the updated kitchen complete with custom cabinets, granite counters, marble backsplash, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking double wall ovens and a Viking six burner cook-top - a window above the sink was strategically placed for a view of the side gardens. A massive family room on the ground level boasts walls of oversized windows for great light and room for a card table, piano and a large sectional, a third updated full bath is next to a glass French door that leads to the backyard and an entry to the mudroom/laundry room complete with built-in cubbies to hold everyone's everything makes for perfect organization upon entrance from the garage. A finished lower level is heated and cooled, newly carpeted and painted, the current use is an oversized office, it would make for a fabulous play space with plenty of room to store toys and books in the built-in cabinets and still have room for a gym on the other side. The upper level is split with three bedrooms and an updated full bath on one level and two more bedrooms and an updated bathroom on the other. Gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the home with wool carpeting in the family room and tile in the bathrooms and laundry/mudroom. A standout feature are all the custom detailed crown moldings and trim work around the entry ways, windows and doors, three custom built oak staircases and railings were designed and moved to the center of the home for easy flow to all levels. Artful landscaping and hardscaping with outdoor lighting has been completed and improved over the years, to include blue-stone walkways, patios and retention walls with various raised beds peppered throughout the grounds, beyond a planting of trees is a huge side yard that is sure to elicit the sights and sounds of lawn sports and the thrill of what one may find in nature along the babbling brook. Minutes to the town of Princeton, the University, schools and more, make this home the perfect purchase
