About 36 S Harrison St

In one of Princeton’s most sought-after in-town locations, right across from Harrison Street Park and just a block and a half from Nassau Street, this delightful home proves that big things do, indeed, come in compact packages. Overflowing with warmth and personality, it blends loads of charm with modern updates. Step inside via a beveled glass door into a welcoming vestibule that’s adjoined by a lovely living room where a fireplace, framed by built-in bookshelves, sets the tone. Sunlight streams through classic 9-light windows, illuminating the hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout. The dining room is both spacious and gracious, ready to host memorable gatherings, while an adjacent home office offers a quiet spot for work or study. The kitchen shows off Thomasville cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances with a handy side door leading to the driveway and garage with parking for up to four cars. Just beyond, the fenced backyard provides security and space for pets to roam with patio for those al fresco evenings. The powder room was recently updated. Upstairs, three cheerful bedrooms are awash in natural light. The hall bath, designed to serve the two ancillary bedrooms, is outfitted with a whirlpool tub/shower combo, perfect for a relaxing soak. With a 2021 addition, the primary suite now boasts a pristine bathroom with an oversized subway-tiled shower and a custom dressing area. Practical updates continue on the lower level, where a newer washer, dryer, and recently replaced hot water heater add to the home’s ease of living. With charm at every turn, a freshly painted exterior, thoughtful updates throughout, and a location that places Princeton’s best at your doorstep, this enchanting home is as rare a find as it is irresistible.
