About This Home

As of July 2015

Secret gardens! On Riverside's coveted Princeton Avenue you will be charmed and delighted with this traditional home featuring a bright open floor plan. Meticulous and updated, the easiest of lifestyle choices for in town living. A formal living room, dining room, family room, updated kitchen and half bath completes the first floor. The center hall staircase introduces three spacious bedrooms and two additional baths. Everything about this inviting home sparkles. The gardens are amazing. Previously a driveway, a perennial garden meanders over to the single car garage, now used for storage and a series of quiet spaces to relax and enjoy nature.
