About This Home

As of July 2023

Welcome to this classic colonial in the heart of Riverside and a stone's throw from the elementary school. As you walk up the blue stone pathway and stop a while at the small patio in front of the entry way, note the stone wall and landscaping making a delightful entry way to the home. As you enter the home note the hardwood floors throughout. The office is at the front of the property with built in storage as well as a closet. If needed this could be a first floor bedroom as right next door there is a full bath with tub/ shower combo. The living room is connected to the blue stone patio by stylish French doors. There is a wood burning fireplace in this room as well as built in bookcases. The other side of the hall way is the dining room. This, like the living room has moldings with dentil detail. The dining room also has chair rail molding and two built in corner cabinets which make this a very elegant space. The kitchen/ breakfast/ family rooms are to the rear of the property. The kitchen has cream cabinets with granite counters and fun glass tile back splashes. The appliances are stainless steel with Bosch Wall oven and dishwasher, Kitchen Aid gas cook top and Sub Zero refrigerator. The island is home to the double sink and breakfast bar?. Note the change in cabinetry, giving the island a sense of being a piece of furniture. The breakfast area has pendant lighting and also more cabinetry. This is all open to the family room. This space is bright and airy with 4 skylights and slider to the patio too. There is a gas fireplace in this room with wood surround. From the family room is the mud room/ laundry. With door to driveway and access to 2 car garage this makes the perfect spot to have coat storage as well as closet for dry good items. The tile floor makes muddy shoe prints easy clean up!
