Property Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind homestead retreat in Griggstown offering historic charm, modern updates, and canal-side living on 2.67 private acres with a Princeton mailing address. This 1840s Colonial blends vintage character with today's comforts, featuring gleaming hardwood floors, a fresh, functional kitchen with white cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances, plus a warm brick-floored entry and cozy living/dining spaces. A charming half bath is tucked off the living room, and the laundry room includes a newer washer and dryer. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath, and the vaulted-ceiling primary suite offers a chalet vibe, built-in window seat, airy layout, and hidden storage nook. Updates include HVAC, electric, plumbing, hot water heater, crawl space waterproofing, and rare for rural homes public sewer. Outside, the Delaware & Raritan Canal borders the property for canoeing and kayaking (both included), biking, and scenic views. A fenced garden, active chicken coop, and two sheds support a peaceful, self-sufficient lifestyle. The spacious back deck is perfect for morning coffee or sunset dinners. Just minutes from downtown Princeton, 1036 Canal Road is a move-in-ready retreat in a tranquil, recreation-rich setting.
