About This Home

A rare opportunity to rent for one year, a house perfectly positioned to experience all that Princeton has to offer! This cozy brick residence is on a charming in-town street literally one block from the shopping and restaurants of Nassau Street. Plus, Princeton University campus, including a variety of athletic venues, is about a half-mile away. The property has generous paver driveway parking and a detached garage that helps keep the back patio extra private. A covered porch cooled by a ceiling fan is a lovely spot to entertain and dine al fresco. The kitchen is handsome and well-equipped with granite countertops and tile. A handy powder room also serves the first floor. Original hardwood floors, molding and darling built-ins lend that quintessential “old-school†Princeton warmth. A sunroom is perfectly sized for working from home or just quietly enjoying a book, while the finished basement has invaluable extra space for a play room or TV lounge. Upstairs, the main suite offers a private full bath, a rarity in a period property like this. The hall bathroom, done in soothing shades of white and cream, serves a sunny bedroom down the hall and the top floor bedroom with window seats beneath a peaked ceiling. Get ready to fall in love with town and gown living!
12 Sergeant St is a house located in Mercer County and the 08540 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Princeton Public attendance zone.
