About 163 N MAIN ST

Timeless Colonial charm, a sunroom made for slow mornings, and a backyard ready for summer afternoons—163 N. Main Street captures the appeal of Cranbury with plenty of room to enjoy life at home. Set among lovely mature trees and refreshed front landscaping, this inviting home blends classic character with thoughtful updates. Inside, the foyer opens to the spacious living room and separate dining room, where hardwood floors and generous windows create a warm, light-filled welcome. A beautiful crystal chandelier adds a touch of elegance to the dining room, setting the scene for everything from casual dinners to holiday gatherings. The kitchen features white cabinetry with open upper shelving, a newer stainless steel range and dishwasher, and lantern-style light fixtures that complement its classic style. Just beyond, the sunroom steals the show. Floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows fill the space with natural light and offer peaceful views of the garden, making it a favorite spot for coffee, a good book, or enjoying the changing seasons. A first-floor bedroom, currently arranged as an office, offers flexibility for guests, remote work or one- level living alongside a newly renovated full bath. A covered porch connects to the spacious two-car garage, complete with a convertible storage loft. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a generously sized primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. Closet systems in the additional bedrooms help keep everyday essentials organized. The upstairs bath features a practical layout with two separate vanity and toilet areas sharing a central tub/shower. Below, the full unfinished basement provides laundry, abundant storage and room for hobbies or future possibilities. A new furnace installed in December 2025 adds to the home’s recent improvements. Outside, a brick patio sets the scene for outdoor meals, while the fenced in-ground pool invites a refreshing dip on warm afternoons. The pool liner, fencing and safety cover were updated approximately three years ago. Mature plantings and views toward neighboring farmland create a peaceful, country-like setting. Enjoy Cranbury’s small-town atmosphere, with local shops and dining in the village center, plus convenient access to the NJ Turnpike, Route 130 Park & Ride and Princeton Junction train station. Cranbury students attend The Cranbury School through eighth grade, followed by Princeton High School. With timeless character, thoughtful updates, and a backyard designed for making memories, 163 N. Main Street is a home you'll be proud to call your own.
