Property Description

Charming 1880 Historic Home in the Heart of Cranbury Village! Welcome to 75 N. Main Street, a lovingly maintained and character-rich single-family home in the heart of Historic Cranbury, NJ. Built in 1880 and steeped in local lore, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence beautifully blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Located just a short stroll or scooter ride from Cranbury School (K–8) and with the Princeton High School bus stop conveniently across the street, this home offers both heritage and everyday practicality. From the moment you arrive, the classic facade and inviting front porch evoke a bygone era—fitting for a property that has been part of Cranbury's landscape since at least 1834. Owned by one family for over five decades, this home has seen history unfold and has been lovingly adapted across generations. Step inside and you'll discover a unique mix of original details and meaningful updates. The first floor features a spacious living area, a cook's kitchen with a sweeping view of the backyard, a full bathroom, and a versatile bedroom perfect for guests or a home office. The remaining three bedrooms and a second full bath are upstairs, where a clawfoot tub—rescued from behind the shed and later reunited with its original feet—adds a whimsical, storybook touch. Throughout the home, you'll find rich woodwork with an incredible backstory: all the trim is repurposed pine from the original flooring, and the knotty pine paneling and charming cubby ceiling cabinets in the kitchen date back to a 1945 remodel. In fact, much of the home's character was shaped during this post-war era, including the transformation of the back porch into the cozy extra bedroom on the main floor and the hand-dug basement—a collaborative labor of love by local Cranburians to make room for a finished billiard room and photographer's darkroom (complete with a buzzer system to call the artist to dinner!). Over the years, the home has undergone a series of sensitive renovations and practical upgrades. In 1999, both bathrooms were completely redone, and by 2002, the kitchen and basement were renovated to accommodate a growing family. Ceramic tile flooring was added to the basement in 2014 and to the kitchen in 2016. In 2017, the central HVAC was fully updated and attic foam insulation was installed. The kitchen, while anchored by mid-century charm, includes a more recent refrigerator (2024), after the original Viking model retired after 22 years of faithful service. Additional details worth noting: Natural gas heat and central air throughout, a nod to early architecture: the home originally featured a central hearth, likely explaining its two front doors—removed in the 1945 renovation but remembered in spirit. The downstairs bathroom was once two rooms; in 1999, it was combined into a spacious single bath with laundry relocated to the basement. This home is more than a place to live—it's a place with soul, where every room has a story and every improvement was made with care. Whether you're enjoying the quiet charm of the backyard, marveling at the craftsmanship of built-ins, or imagining the buzz of the darkroom buzzer decades ago, 75 N Main Street offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Cranbury's rich past with all the comforts of today. Schedule your private showing and come see the beauty, warmth, and history for yourself.
