About This Home
As of July 2024Standing on one of the most beautiful lots in all of the coveted Riverside neighborhood is a home filled with more warmth and personality than any other. A full renovation by Princeton Design Guild ten years ago enhanced the size, style and functionality throughout, including adding an elevator. Diligent upkeep by the homeowners is also apparent by simply admiring the flawless state of the handsome hardwood floors. The extra wide and welcoming foyer shows off the living room fireplace and the subtly sophisticated trim of the dining room. The highlight of the incredibly spacious family room is an oversized brick fireplace opposite pretty French doors and big windows. Even more French doors in the breakfast area open to a heavenly screened porch and a patio shaded by a pair of magnificent London Plane trees. Brands like Wolf and Sub-Zero will please avid cooks and anyone hoping to work efficiently from home will love the tucked-away office. Separate laundry and mudrooms help keep everyday items tidy and organized. All four bathrooms are attractively neutral, but the main bath is undeniably elevated with marble basketweave tile and an oversized shower. A 2-sided dressing room and a cedar closet make the expanded main suite complete. A second suite has a curbless shower that combines style and safety. The exceedingly lush .6-acre lot is just around the bend from both Riverside Elementary School and Carnegie Lake. Some photos are virtually staged.
