267 Riverside Dr, Princeton, NJ 08540

Welcome to this stunning contemporary styled home in Riverside. Renovated, not once but twice by renowned Princeton architect Alan Chimacoff, it fits today~s lifestyle needs yet gives a nod to the history of the home. Space and light are paramount in this home, from private spaces to more open ones. The curved wall in the first-floor hallway leads you to the rest of the home and provides privacy for the sitting room: an intimate room, with fireplace and custom bookshelves. A little further along the hall and a few steps down is a most impressive great room. The floating gas fireplace with asymmetrical wood mantel is the focal point here but it is hard not to ignore the vaulted ceiling with wood beams, suspended lighting system or the double sliders to the large deck, patio and yard beyond. The kitchen has been thoughtfully and completely renovated with Signature Custom Cabinetry, two pull-out lower cabinetry with 'slow-close' mechanism, pull out spice drawer and knife holder. Subzero refrigerator, Miele Dishwasher, Miele Induction cooktop with pull out Miele exhaust vent, and a Delta pot filler faucet. The granite counter tops provide a great working space and a breakfast bar. The breakfast area is home to Custom French doors leading to the upper deck, perfect for grilling. A few steps up in the hallway leads to the bedroom level. Follow the ~wave~ wall to the fully reimagined master suite where you will enter an oasis of tranquility. The Milano tempered-glass bi-fold doors lead to a well-appointed master closet complete with a washer and dryer. At the end of the closet is the master bath. The ~wave~ wall of mosaic tile leads into the large shower with its multiple heads. The deep soaking tub provides amazing views of the rear yard. The French Decotec double vanity is the jewel of this crown. The two other bedrooms on this level have hardwood flooring as does the fourth floor which is up a few steps. The hall bath has also been fully renovated with a tub/shower combo and a Dectoc vanity too. The lower level is great extra space. The built-ins provide great extra storage. There is a half bath on this level, door to the rear yard and access to a two-car garage. The fenced-in garden is a sanctuary ~ full of mature plantings such as crape myrtles, dogwoods, and a vast array of perennials. The bluestone patio has views of the charming fishpond with lily pads. The home is conveniently located near the elementary school, university, and downtown. See for yourself why this unique home was featured in NJ Monthly and GA Houses, an international publication.
