What's around 1036 Canal Rd

About this property

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind homestead retreat in the Griggstown section of Franklin Township—offering the rare combination of historic charm, modern updates, and an unbeatable canal-side location. Set on 2.67 private acres with a Princeton mailing address, this 1840s Colonial has been thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. Inside, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors throughout, a fresh functional kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, plus a warm brick-floored entry that preserves the home’s vintage character. The main level includes a cozy living and dining space, a convenient laundry room with newer washer and dryer, and a charming half bath tucked just off the living room. Upstairs, the two inviting bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The primary bedroom is a true retreat—featuring a vaulted ceiling, rich in character with a cozy chalet vibe, a built-in window seat perfect for reading or relaxing, and an open, airy layout that connects beautifully with the rest of the second floor. Cute storage nook in the ceiling and a feeling of nice finishes. Modern infrastructure upgrades include updated HVAC, plumbing, electric, hot water heater, crawl space waterproofing, and—rare for this kind of rural setting—public sewer, offering low-maintenance peace of mind. Outside, this property offers a truly special lifestyle. With the Delaware & Raritan Canal as your backyard border, you can canoe or kayak straight from your property (both included in the sale!), bike or run along the canal path, and enjoy sweeping views of preserved natural surroundings. The fully fenced garden, one active chicken coop, and two garden sheds evoke a sense of self-sufficiency and peaceful, back-to-nature living—ideal for downsizers or city dwellers seeking a weekend escape. A spacious back deck adds to the home’s appeal, perfect for morning coffee or sunset dinners. Just minutes from downtown Princeton, yet worlds away in feel, 1036 Canal Road is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key home with timeless charm in a tranquil, recreation-rich setting. *Offer deadline set for Sunday, July 20th at 6:00 pm.
