4 HARDLEY Drive, Cranbury, NJ 08512

Sunday Mornings start in this kitchen: Picture it: oversized island, pancake batter, coffee going. This kitchen was made for exactly that. Gleaming hardwood carries the flow from the formal dining room right into the heart of it all - stainless appliances, a breakfast nook framed by backyard views, and room to gather instead of squeeze in.

And here's the part that saves you real money: a brand-new septic system, fully installed and inspected. That's a five-figure expense the next owner simply won't face. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Shadow Oaks, this home delivers what quiet cul-de-sacs do best - kids on bikes, neighbors who actually wave, and a big yard that backs up to open farmland instead of someone's fence line.

The recently replaced patio makes it easy to sit outside and take it all in. Inside, there's a terrific flow between the living room, private office, and a family room anchored by a brick fireplace built for relaxing evenings. A renovated mudroom, laundry room, and powder room round out the first floor and keep everyday life organized.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual sinks, a stall shower, and California Closets in every closet. Three more bedrooms and an updated hall bath complete the second floor, while a finished basement adds space for whatever you need it to be. Recent upgrades - new well pump, gutters, irrigation, water treatment system, and Andersen windows throughout most of the house - mean the big stuff is already handled.

Students attend the highly rated Cranbury School K-8 and Princeton High School, and Cranbury offers easy commuter access to the NJ Turnpike, Princeton Junction train station, and Route 130.
