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.
