Time stops for a moment and life feels just right when you step inside this two-year-old colonial in the Riverside neighborhood of Princeton, where the architect designed a comfy and cheerful layout with high ceilings, tall openings and solid wood doors that add height and scale to each room. So much to love in this much loved home, where the current owners are being relocated and are sorry to leave, but are sure will make the next owners happy! A two-story marbled center entrance foyer opens to a formal dining room with built-ins on the right and a formal living room with coffer ceiling and gas fireplace on the left. A contemporary French door opens to a private first floor study, with a near-by powder room and is adjacent to the soaring two-story family room with coffer ceiling and a stack stone gas fireplace. A dramatic back staircase divides the area between the family room and breakfast room that opens into a very generous size kitchen with triple wall cabinets, a spacious center island, corner walk-in pantry, complete Thermador appliance package, granite counters, Carrera marble backsplash, three sets of skylights and sliding glass doors to the blue stone patio and backyard for summer fun and entertaining. Down the long kitchen hall you’ll find a 5th bedroom guest suite, complete with a full bath, two cubby sections to hang coats, book bags and organize shoes while entering from either the garage or a separate front (side) door. Up either the front or back staircase, a catwalk leads to a Jack-N-Jill Suite at one end, a Princess suite in the center, a laundry room and a front-to-back main bedroom with sitting area, two walk-in closets and spacious bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, oversize glass enclosed shower and a water closet. The lower level is finished into one large 40x40 space consisting of an open theater room, ($10,000 worth of theater equipment and speakers are negotiable as is the tread mill) play room, game room, a 6th bedroom with an egress window and a fifth full bathroom. All this plus almost a half-acre lot where the backyard is completely fenced and the owners have installed two blue stone patios, with built-in ground lighting and a stone wall with pillar lights – with the moon and stars above, that is all the lighting you need to end your day. Get set to be impressed!
