About This Home

As of April 2019

Traditional colonial in the heart of Riverside. The terracotta tile entry way leads through to the kitchen and breakfast area which is charming as well as practical. The exposed beam detail on the ceiling of the breakfast area and bead board around the space add charm. The peninsula that separates the kitchen area and eating is home to the Thermador gas cook top and the wall oven is Thermador too. From the kitchen there is the mud room with access to the two car garage and the family room, with its walls of windows, skylights and door to the brick patio. The more formal rooms of the home are still comfortable and open. The dining room, off the kitchen has a French door to the brick patio and is located in a bay, which adds architectural interest. There is a step down to the living room with its fireplace with brick surround and wooden mantel. To add interest there is crown molding and detail molding on one wall. Either side of the front facing window there are built-ins, perfect for books and knick-knacks. The opposite side of the entry to the living room is a good size study. The built in shelving is unique. The second floor is home to the master suite with its double vanity in the bath. Three other bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second floor. The majority of the rooms have hardwood flooring and there is also a basement, which is great for storage. Located on a cul-de-sac, and close to Riverside elementary school, just move right in!
