About 408 Princeton Avenue

This significant price reduction of $255,000 demonstrates the Seller's motivation to sell this remarkable Victorian home, gracefully set along more than 150 feet of Cottonwood Creek on a beautifully landscaped 0.8-acre corner lot. Rich in character, architectural detail, and natural beauty, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers 2,136 square feet of timeless elegance in an exceptional in-town setting. From the classic covered front porch to the intricate Victorian design elements found throughout, the home showcases craftsmanship rarely seen today. Hardwood floors welcome you into the entry and living room, where stained glass accents, ornate plaster ceiling details, a bay window, and a striking fireplace with marble accents create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The spacious parlor and living area provide wonderful gathering spaces filled with historic charm, while French doors open to a private patio overlooking the lush grounds. The large kitchen and adjoining dining room offer ample room for everyday living and entertaining. An enclosed porch with a cozy wood stove extends the living space and provides a peaceful retreat in every season. Outside, the property feels like a private botanical garden. Mature cottonwood, blue spruce, apple, crabapple, and chokecherry trees create shade and beauty, while established perennial beds, climbing vines, a gazebo, and tranquil creek frontage provide a truly enchanting setting. The detached garage, originally serving as the carriage house, adds both functionality and another authentic connection to the property's rich history. This distinguished property offers both privacy and convenience with easy access to downtown while savoring the serenity of a creekside estate unlike any other. Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, this Victorian treasure is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a landmark property that captures the elegance, charm, and enduring appeal of Buena Vista's past.
