45 GREEN AVE Lawrenceville, NJ 08648

You might expect to see this cedar-clad cottage in the Adirondacks, not a block from Lawrenceville's Main Steet! The cozy mountain lodge vibe begins as you pass under the thick vines of wisteria. Inside, solid wood tongue and groove paneling envelops every room. Keep it rich and rustic or create a whole new look with a coat of light toned paint. The eat-in kitchen and great room have floor-to-ceiling windows framing an unexpected view of an in-ground pool and brick patio. The windows of the fire-lit living room, a few steps up, offer a different vantage point with the branches of a southern magnolia tree framing the scene. Wide pumpkin pine flooring continues upstairs, where three bedrooms share a hall bath. In addition to the storage of the walk-out basement and garage, a cedar closet is a must in any cabin. The final surprise is a separate studio with flagstone floor, brick fireplace and beamed ceiling. The house, pool and studio are in need of TLC, but anyone willing to roll up their sleeves will be rewarded with a lifetime of memories in a one-of-kind home.
