About this home

Down a long, private driveway, a brick paving stone courtyard provides a gracious welcome to a 4,400+ square-foot, custom-built home that backs to the grassy fields of Riverside Elementary School. Hardwood floors, crown molding and a neutral color palette are found throughout the spacious home. A beautiful cherry library with built-in bookcases provides the ideal area for work-from-home days or the at-home professional. The kitchen, as functional as it is stylish, features white cabinetry, granite counters, an integrated refrigerator, stainless steel gas stove, a center island with prep sink and seating for four, and a butlers pantry. The spacious master bedroom suite features a fireplace, a dressing room/walk-in closet and a bright, airy master bath with beautifully detailed millwork. Three additional en suite bedrooms share the second floor with the master suite. The front property, 485 Princeton Kingston Road, is also included in the sale and the Princeton zoning director has confirmed that a separate home may be built provided the proper variance application. This is a bankruptcy sale and the home is being sold as is.
