About This Property

Welcome to 158 Carter Road, a fully transformed 4 bedroom, 3 full bath house on approximately two private acres just minutes from downtown Princeton. Approximately $495,000 in renovations and upgrades have been invested in the property, including a new underground aerobic septic system, roof, centralized HVAC with new ductwork and mechanicals, 200-amp electrical panel, updated plumbing, 30+ new windows, chimney liners, driveway, landscaping, expanded parking area, and extensive interior and exterior repairs.

The approximately 3,018 square foot interior has been redesigned with an expanded renovated kitchen, new first-floor flooring, refinished second floor floors, three updated bathrooms, which includes an expanded primary bath and a first floor full bath, as well as a finished attic offering flexible bonus space. The result is a rare combination of modern finishes, upgraded infrastructure, and long-term peace of mind.

Convenient to Princeton Junction, Route 295, the NJ Turnpike, Bucks County, downtown Princeton, and leading private schools including Princeton Day School, The Hun School, The Lawrenceville School, and Peddie School. A turnkey acreage property in an exceptional location.

Recent improvements include a new roof, new underground aerobic septic system, new windows, updated plumbing, a new duct system, and a 200-amp electrical panel. The home is equipped with two new furnaces and two new air conditioning systems for optimal efficiency and comfort. The finished attic, fully insulated, offers additional flexible living space, while recessed lighting enhances the kitchen, living room, and attic areas.

The chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium Thermador appliances, custom high-end cabinetry, and sleek quartz countertops. All bathrooms have been fully remodeled with upscale finishes, including a spa-like soaking tub and fixtures from Ferguson.
