A rare find in Princetons coveted Littlebrook neighborhood: more than 3,700 square feet of thoughtfully upgraded living space with five bedrooms, five full baths, and an exceptionally walkable location. Built in 2017 and continually improved since, this light-filled home is just a short stroll from Littlebrook Elementary, Princeton Middle School and Princeton High School, and the shops and restaurants of Princeton Shopping Center.nnA dramatic two-story foyer makes an immediate impression, with formal living and dining rooms flanking the entry. Nine-foot ceilings, Brazilian hardwood floors, and abundant natural light create bright, beautifully proportioned interiors.nnThe newly redesigned kitchen pairs quartzite countertops and a matching full-height backsplash with Jenn-Air appliances, designer lighting, white oak shelving, and a floor-to-ceiling pantry. It opens to a soaring, skylit family room anchored by a fireplace and a wall of glass doors leading to the expanded deck and professionally reimagined backyard, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living.nnThe main level is equally thoughtful. A private fifth bedroom, currently used as a study, features built-in bookshelves and a California Closets-designed closet, with a full bath nearby-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or working from home. A dedicated mudroom with built-in storage keeps busy routines organized.nnUpstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a sitting area, generous walk-in closet
