77 N Main Street N

Description

Seize the opportunity to own not just a piece of Cranbury history, but a slice of Americana, with a nicely updated historic home and an adjacent Main Street storefront presented as one package. Both buildings are zoned for residential and/or commercial use. Many local residents still have fond memories of meeting friends at O'Neil's Soda Shop, a beloved fixture of Main Street for decades. The single-story former soda shop on the right now connects to the nicely updated 19th century house next door via a convenient breezeway. The storefront is currently rented, producing a monthly income of $1,000. The possibilities are numerous: live/work, live/rent, or use both sides for a business endeavor. The detached garage has three separate bays, one ideal for a workshop or equipment storage. The deep backyard comes as yet another welcome surprise. The house has incredible pumpkin pine floors, pristine plaster walls and chimney cupboards behind wood mantels, and a new eat-in kitchen, redone in 2007. Bosch and Fisher-Paykel appliances, an island and a built-in desk are surrounded by handsome granite and cabinetry that feel period appropriate. Both the kitchen and dining room flow into the sunny living/family room, which comes equipped with a projector, speakers and whole-wall screen. Upstairs, a hall bath perfectly renovated with black and white penny tile serves three bedrooms, while the rear primary suite has a huge walk-in closet and a private bath with radiant tile floor. The adjoining storefront also has original wood floors and beadboard walls, plus a big bathroom. Two zones of high-velocity A/C and seven zones of heat maintain a comfortable climate in the house all through the year. K-8 students attend Cranbury's local National Blue-Ribbon school and 9-12 students go to Princeton High School. A special small-town treasure like this - within a stone's throw of various eateries, the school, the public library and more - doesn't come around often!
