Walkability is a boast for this house, as the listing mentions:

“The location of this house really can’t be beat. It is on a quiet street just a 10 minute walk from Palmer Square and 15 minutes from the heart of campus. In addition, right around the corner you have a park and community center, a great Mexican restaurant, a cafe, and a corner store.”

The local neighborhood is indeed fantastic- we put the Witherspoon-John neighborhood #1 in our list of local sites for Princeton U. students to walk to back in April of this year. But what is inside?
