About This Home
As of July 2015Uniquely unobstructed views of Lake Carnegie inspire in this Riverside home, styled with mid-century modern touches. The main living spaces adjoin and could become a fabulous open concept floor plan - soaring ceilings already highlight the dining room, as well as the spacious living room's floor-to-ceiling bookcases and stone fireplace. Sweeping lake views and a gently rolling lawn are a stunning backdrop for the connected balcony. A beautifully updated eat-in kitchen, filled with light, is designed in a neutral palette that complements the beauty of natural environs. 2 upstairs bedrooms, served by a full bath, complete this floor. A stylish open railing leads downstairs to 2 more bedrooms served by a full bath, one complete with walk-in and cedar closets. Nearby, a family room/bonus room is illuminated by walls of windows looking out to the water, and opens to an outdoor patio. Plenty of storage is found in the large workshop, and carport with separate storage area. Find inspiration in this lovely property, its wonderful close-to-town location and proximity to both Riverside school Princeton University.
