About this home

A prime position in a much-adored Riverside neighborhood attracted this home's one and only owner 56 years ago. Now after years of happy memories, she's ready to turn over the key to the next person looking to lay down roots in this convenient Princeton locale. A sizeable, solidly-constructed home set back from the road on a deep lot dotted with mature plantings. Enter to find gracious rooms and the easy, open flow so enjoyed in split-level floor plans. Light pours into the living and dining rooms via a big picture window and paned door to a charming rear porch. The kitchen is well-organized and easily upgradable. Upstairs find four bedrooms including the master containing a private bath as well as a hall bath. The lower level offers a suite of flexible rooms which is a legal apartment that could be used as in-law, au pair or guest quarters with a handy kitchenette, or opt to convert the rooms here into home office, media and family room. A half bath serves this level.
