Set in Princeton's sought-after Riverside neighborhood, this 1922 center-hall Colonial pairs timeless architectural character with meaningful recent updates, including a new roof, a 6-year-old furnace, and freshly painted interior and exterior — a truly move-in ready opportunity. Inside, original details endure: rich hardwood floors, generously proportioned doorways trimmed in layered millwork, and softly curved wall-to-ceiling transitions that speak to the home's 1920s craftsmanship. The main level flows easily from a bright living room with fireplace, to a formal dining room, a comfortable family room, and an eat-in kitchen outfitted with granite counters, glass-front cabinetry, and high-end stainless appliances. Upstairs, a private primary suite private primary suite with new in-suite master bathroom is joined by two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath, while the finished attic level adds a fourth en suite bedroom along with a flexible bonus room perfect for a home office or studio. Outside, mature pines frame the property and shade sweeping beds of ivy and rhododendron, a dramatic weeping cherry tree flowers each spring, the raised deck — an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. All of this just minutes from downtown Princeton and Princeton University, with easy access to acclaimed restaurants, theater, live music, and everyday conveniences.
