About this House

What's unique:Long covered balconyCharming sunroomEnsuite bathHardwood floorsExcellent storageFormal dining room
A classic William Thompson center hall colonial in Riverside, extensively landscaped, close to Riverside Elementary School and everything Princeton has to offer! A gracious entrance foyer welcomes you into the home, and to the large and inviting living room. The brick fireplace with wood mantel creates a natural focal point for the room, and has storage for wood too! The glass sliding doors lead to a charming sunroom and entices you into the beautifully landscaped English style low maintenance garden, which is fully fenced to protect from deer. Across the foyer is the formal dining room, with chair rail for added elegance. The powder room is in the foyer along with two large coat closets. The kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room are reached from the foyer. The kitchen has white appliances, with green granite counters complemented by a backsplash of hand made ceramic tiles and glass accent tiles. There is a pantry too, as well as more storage space! The breakfast nook and the family room each have a cozy bay window with seating that overlooks the garden. There is easy access to the fenced garden from the family room, which includes beams, built-in bookcases, and more storage. Just off the family room, there is a mud room / laundry which leads to the two-car garage and spacious parking area. On the second floor, the primary bedroom suite has the feeling of a charming bed and breakfast inn, opening onto a long covered balcony with ceiling fans, and overlooking the enchanting garden. Imagine sitting out here with your morning coffee and contemplating the day ahead! The ensuite bath has been recently renovated with a shower and large vanity. The vanity countertop is quartz and perfectly matches the ceramic wall and floor tiles; the backsplash and shower inset boxes are marble. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 all share the second bathroom, including a full tub. In one of the bathroom linen closets there is a laundry chute that goes directly to the laundry room. The second story and most of the main floor have hardwood floors. The basement is partially-finished and provides excellent storage, including a cedar closet. A large garden shed offers welcome storage for garden equipment and tools. A great home in an excellent location, see it today!

    "To get to bus station is a long , over populated area and the majority of people walk but a lot of cars in a very over populated and mixture of all kinds of people. Some very nice, and some very rude and feel they own the streets! I really hate Princeton and don’t recommend it. To get to train station is now a drive and to The Dinky is a longer walk than bus stop. And everything costs money, they built decks to make money and they also make you get permits to park. I was blessed enough to have a driveway where I was, but all in all: I rate it a good=25 & bad=75%-NOT VERY GOOD! Must rate Police & EMT IS A GOOD-100% -very fair and also courts are fair majority of time"
