Welcome to this classic colonial, close to Riverside Elementary School in the heart of the Riverside neighborhood in Princeton. The large living room, with its gas fireplace with wood surround, provides a wonderful space to relax, and the access from the slider to the paver patio and fenced-in yard beyond only accents its attractiveness. Open to the dining room, the space for entertaining is endless. The eat-in kitchen is well appointed. The granite counters atop white cabinetry are accented by the stainless steel appliances. A knee wall divides the kitchen and the family room, which is a nice spot to spend time. There is a three-season screened porch to the rear, which extends the living space and furthers the enjoyment of the yard. To complete the first floor there is an office, perfect for homework or working remotely. The four bedrooms on the second floor all have hardwood flooring, like most of the first. The master suite has a dressing area, which has great storage, and leads to the master bath, with its vanity sink and large shower. The other three bedrooms share a hall bath. There is an unfinished basement which is perfect for storage, and an attached two-car garage. The yard has mature plantings but is easy maintenance and is completely fenced in, great for pets! A wonderful location with easy accessibility to the local elementary school, Routes 27 and 1, downtown and the University. Make it your home today!
