Hosted By: Build It Green
While attending the National Association of Realtors Conference in San Francisco I attend a Sustainable Homes Tour hosted by Build It Green, featuring Greenpoint Rated Homes.
I was able to tour a GreenPoint Rated Home and learn directly from the builder and the architect about the process and requirements of achieving a LEED Rating.

Within strolling distance to Johnson Park School and Greenway Meadows Park, the Brookstone neighborhood is beloved for its close proximity to the center of Princeton, large, tree-lined parcels, and established homes. Encircled with a parklike 2.34 acre lot, this well-built 4 bedroom has all the space, solidity, and light necessary to create your dream layout. Hardwoods and a generous footprint outline a front-to-back, fireside living room, formal dining room, study with built-in bookcases, and a pretty 3-season sunroom that opens to the back patio. A sunny, easy-care kitchen delights with a bay window-bright breakfast area, sparkling Corian counters, ample cabinetry with pull-outs, and an adjoining mudroom/laundry room with its own entrance, making it a snap to load in groceries. Four wonderfully-sized bedrooms and 2.5 baths include the master suite, which hosts sweet dreams with double closets and private bath. Handling energy concerns are a standby-house generator, 2nd floor tilt-in windows, and an energy makeover within the last 10 years.

SAVE-the-Date, Public Open House, July 21st, 2019, Noon -5:00 pm.
In Princeton’s Brookstone enclave, this east-facing, brick-wrapped Colonial has been brought completely up-to-date with fresh, youthful renovations that handle modern life with ease and style. Custom millwork of the highest quality fills the home, showcased by a graceful, hand-crafted bannister, which gives architectural presence to the 2-story front hall, and cherry paneled library with ceiling-high bookcases and a sunburst fireplace mantel. Four sets of French doors open to tiered bluestone terraces and gardens of lilies, irises, and monarch-attracting milkweed, framing the back of the home. A fully-fenced, garden-party backyard dazzles with views of a stacked stone wall, towering trees, and a bird’s eye view of babbling Stony Brook. Crown molding, recessed lights, and hardwood floors fill the 1st floor, including the living room, warm with a marble-framed gas fireplace, and formal dining room with a bay casement windows. Cherry cabinets, top-line stainless appliances, and granite counters gleam in the recently renovated kitchen. The mudroom/laundry room centers on the ultimate gas dryer/steamer – never send your sweaters out again! Front and back stairs rise to the 2nd floor, where you’ll be greeted by the carpeted family room, whose utility changes as needs change: playroom, hangout, movie night haven. A half bath is nearby – the home’s third! Three of the 4 bedrooms are suites with renovated baths and good closets. The master suite is so special with a closet-lined dressing room and a built-in marble dressing table, plus a beautiful bath that features a multi-jet shower with a rain fixture. A finished 3rd floor hosts a walk-in cedar closet and a 5th bedroom currently used as a study. Providing peace of mind are a replaced electric panel and furnace, plus a generator. This leafy location is pretty much perfect: an easy 2 mile drive to downtown Princeton, and within strolling distance to Johnson Park School and Greenway Meadows Park!
I am please to inform you that I successfully marketed 586 Snowden Lane, procuring multiple offers for my clients on the first day of the listing. My expertise of preparing their home for sale resulted in additional equity for them of $52,100 over the original list price. This was my 5th real estate transaction serving these loyal clients over a 30 year period.
Taking its inspiration from mid-century modern design, this Littlebrook Area Princeton residence designed by architect Andrew M. Sheldon brings the outdoors in, allowing rooms to sing with treed views, custom stone, wood details, passive solar and airy flexibility. Tall ceilings, slate floors, and casement windows frame open living and dining rooms, scaled for entertaining and organized with smart storage for favorite books and table decor. Rejuvenate on a stone patio amid nearly 2 acres of leafy landscape, or in a creative art studio/workshop with its own entrance to the outside plus doors opening to the additional storage space in the adjacent garage with an electric car charging outlet. Sleek glass tile, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances trim the kitchen, whose just-right size centers on a prep/dining island; a neighboring office can be privatized with pocket doors. The sunroom’s wall of brick with a Swedish fireplace and beamed ceilings enfold with warmth as the room transitions to an in-law suite and a vast great room, or imagine the possibilities of a media room or vast office space. Open stairs lead to 5 bedrooms – room for all – with a laundry with built-ins and 3 baths at the ready, including the master’s en suite, crowned with a sauna. Perfectly sited near the recreational and hiking parks of Herrontown Woods and Smoyer Park – just a quick drive to Princeton Shopping Center and downtown Princeton.
Keeping your home in “model home” condition to show to prospective buyers is not an easy task. As your real estate agent I understand how difficult it is to show your home at a moment’s notice when you have pets and children living with you.
One of the goals I will set with you is to sell your home in the shortest amount of time with the least inconvience to you and your family. In order to reach this goal of a quick sale one of the many recommendations I will make is to spruce up your home to sell. Of course I will bring my stager to your home but sprucing up goes beyond staging.
Completing the following list of recommendations will indeed cost you money; however, the benefit to you will be selling your home faster to the current buyer pool within the range of your anticipated selling price.
By following these recommendations prospective buyers will see that you have cared for your home and they will want to your home theirs!
