Private 2-Acre Family Home Near Princeton & Trails

Description

A rare blend of peaceful seclusion and academic convenience, this fully furnished home is ideal for visiting scholars, researchers, or university-affiliated families looking for a comfortable home during a sabbatical or temporary appointment. Located just 7 minutes from Princeton University, the home sits on more than 2 acres of private, park-like land with mature trees, fruit trees, a fire pit, and a huge yard with plenty of room for children to play or adults to read, work, and relax outside. The property is also directly along the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, making it easy to walk, run, or bike right from home. The setting is unusually private—many people who live nearby don't even realize the house is here—yet everything you need is remarkably close. Inside, the house has been thoughtfully updated for comfortable everyday living, including radiant heat in the bathroom, a wide soaking tub, instant hot water, central A/C and heat with a new whole-house HVAC system, high-speed Wi-Fi, a new washer and dryer, and a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances. The house is fully furnished and particularly well suited to families. Within about a 5-minute drive are Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Wegmans, ShopRite, and other everyday shopping, restaurants, cafés, parks, and amenities. Princeton University's campus is approximately 7 minutes away. Terms: $4,200/month furnished, with flexibility for longer academic stays. Utilities and cleaning arrangements are negotiable. Lawn care is included. Pets considered case-by-case. Non-smoking home. We hope this can be more than simply temporary housing—a peaceful, comfortable home base for your time in Princeton, whether you're teaching, researching, writing, or spending a year here with your family.
