6 Governors Lane Princeton, NJ 08540

In the sophisticated townhouse community of Governors Lane, this lightly lived-in offering stands apart with custom embellishments and plenty of recent improvements. Original owners took great care and pride in creating a tranquil environment throughout, beginning with the enclosed courtyard’s rock garden, just designed in 2024 to enhance the east-facing entry. Step into the big, bright kitchen, where newer appliances include double ovens and a sleek cooktop. Gorgeous quartz seamlessly runs from countertop to backsplash and also spans an island with a wealth of storage, ideal for baking. The formal rooms are airy and open for easy hosting within the warmth of the fireplace. California Closets systems are a helpful perk found on every level, but the finished basement stays especially organized thanks to a built-in desk and floor-to-ceiling shelves. Shoji sliding screens are a striking feature of the second level, covering both doors and windows for a unified appearance. Custom made by master Japanese builder, Watanabe, they are precisely crafted of California Redwood without nails for easy disassembly and repurposing. The translucent paper imparts a soft glow in both the primary and secondary suites. A skylight brightens the staircase ascending to two more bedrooms with walk-in closets and a shared all-white bath. Flawless hardwood floors are a visible reminder that this home is well maintained. With the washer and dryer replaced in 2022 and a brand new HVAC system, there’s really nothing for new owners to do but unpack.
