Some homes make it surprisingly easy to imagine living with less house without feeling as though you’ve given much up and this Woodmont townhouse is one of them. The primary suite is on the first floor, guests have their own space upstairs, and out back, the view stretches across the green of Cobblestone Creek Golf Course, making it an excellent alternative to a 55+ community. The kitchen has been updated and includes a sunny breakfast area within a bow window, a spot that feels made for lingering over an unhurried meal. A formal dining room is nearby. The living room includes a fireplace and opens to the patio with those serene golf course views. Having the primary suite on this level changes the way the house lives. Two double closets provide plenty of storage, and the renovated bathroom has a large, easy-entry shower. The laundry is tucked into a hall closet, so there’s little reason to head upstairs unless company is staying. And when they are, the second floor gives them a space of their own. The guest bedroom has a private bathroom and a generous closet, creating enough separation that neither floor feels crowded. Woodmont adds a clubhouse, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball to the mix, all in an established Lawrence Township community close to Princeton and everyday shopping. A one-car garage tucks the car off the driveway. For someone drawn to the ease of 55+ living but not necessarily to an age-restricted community, this home presents an interesting alternative.
