About 244 Dodds Ln

Nestled on the highly sought-after Dodds Lane, within Princeton’s Littlebrook neighborhood — this beautifully updated Colonial offers the perfect balance of charm, privacy, and walkability. Zoned and walkable to top-rated Princeton Public Schools. Set on a generous and tranquil 0.76-acre lot, the property is embraced by mature shade trees and bordered at the rear by Terhune Road — a secluded, township-maintained lane with no driveways and lined with preserved woodlands. This serene stretch doubles as the neighborhood's informal park, ideal for morning jogs, dog walks, and leisurely bike rides.** A double gate at the rear of the property opens to a widened pathway, offering both easy access for landscaping and a shortcut to the paved trail that leads directly to Smoyer Park. Just steps from your backyard, the park offers sports fields, a community garden, a playground, and wide-open space for year-round recreation. For everyday groceries and essentials, the Princeton Shopping Center is conveniently located just 1.5 miles away.

A gracious center hall opens to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a spacious dining room, ideal for hosting. The open-concept kitchen and family room is the heart of the home, boasting rich cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek Silestone countertops – framed by a wall of windows and sliding glass doors that flood the space with natural light.** A standout feature of this home is the versatile sun-drenched studio addition with multiple skylights and wall-to-wall windows. Currently used as a playroom, this space includes a full bathroom and offers endless potential as a home office, creative space, or guest suite. A nearby mud and laundry room adds everyday convenience.** Step outside to a private backyard oasis designed for both relaxation and play. Professionally landscaped, the yard features multiple stone patios and winding stone paths through colorful garden beds, and a lush lawn expanded by the current owners to include a grassy play area with a custom-built sandbox. The tree-shaded center patio is an ideal spot to host a garden party or enjoy quiet moments next to the koi pond.** Upstairs, four tranquil bedrooms and two updated bathrooms offer ample space for everyone.
