With a view of The Arts Council's vibrant mural and festive lighting, this like-new Residences at Palmer Square townhouse basks in the buzz of city living. It is literally steps from Princeton's word-class library, award-winning restaurants and an array of charming shops, yet treetop level bedrooms feel utterly serene. A pretty pathway guides you to a covered entrance, where a private elevator is ready to carry tired feet and bags full of fresh produce purchased at the weekly farmers' market up to the Viking-equipped kitchen. Living spaces are lined with huge windows, including a versatile breakfast room and formal rooms divided by a double-sided, gas fireplace encouraging cozy nights in. A gracious staircase ascends to three luxuriously sized bedroom suites, each with custom organized closets and private bathrooms tiled in shades of cream and mocha. Crown molding and hardwood floors maintain a traditionally elegant aesthetic. A garage is on-site with reserved spots available, but in a location like this, you may find a car unnecessary! Some photos are virtually staged.
