With three bedrooms, two and a half baths, the home offers a thoughtful balance of classic charm and modern convenience. From the welcoming living room and spacious dining area to the private primary suite and comfortable lower level retreat, each space is designed for living well. Outside, a front terrace and backyard patio invite morning coffee, al fresco dining, and relaxed evenings with friends. The kitchen connects to the generous dining room through a breakfast bar, keeping the cook part of the conversation and offering space for everything from a quick breakfast to a leisurely dinner. Custom cabinetry and solid surface countertops balance everyday function with the home’s classic appeal. A conveniently located powder room completes the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a custom closet and an ensuite bath featuring a double vanity and walk in shower. Two additional bedrooms, each currently styled as cheerful and whimsical children’s rooms, offer inviting spaces with personality and charm, complemented by custom closets and a second full bath with combination tub and shower, providing room for guests, a home office, or your changing needs. The partially finished lower level expands the living space with a comfortable spot for movie nights, hobbies, or casual gatherings, alongside a large storage area and lower level laundry. Meaningful improvements include garage tuck pointing and masonry work in 2023; a new furnace and humidifier, new staircase off the back door, and installation of a chimney cricket in 2025; and a new concrete driveway apron in 2026. A newer dishwasher adds to the practical updates. Beyond its brick facade, the neighborhood is part of the appeal. Stroll to nearby parks, enjoy dinner on the patio at Taco Buddha, or visit neighborhood favorites like Winslow's Table, Colleen's, and Cibo. With its distinctive character, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, and exceptional walkability, 7241 Princeton Avenue offers more than a beautiful home, it offers a lifestyle rooted in the charm and community of University Park.
