About This Home
As of August 2020At the end of a majestic drive behind century old oak and maple trees, this spectacular home is nested in the middle of an oversized lot in Riverside. An abundance of glass opens this beautifully-designed home up to its natural surroundings, attracting sunlight throughout the day. Oversized windows enhance light, especially in the gourmet kitchen. Each main level room opens to outdoor space and offers peaceful views of its sheltered 2.6+ acre setting. The house functions superbly as an entertaining venue with a large terrace that extends rooms and highlights the view on the park, a heated-covered swimming pool and a home theater. This lovely classic Colonial home also features five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a detached three-car garage. The house was newly converted to gas, it has a new roof, 3 zone HVAC, patio and beautiful flowering specimen shrubs. Walking distance to the bus to Manhattan and convenient to all the wonderful shopping and dining in downtown Princeton. Award winning Princeton school district and Riverside Elementary!!
