This timeless 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial sits gracefully on a quiet corner lot in Princeton's leafy Riverside neighborhood, just a short walk to Riverside Elementary, downtown Princeton, and the Princeton University campus. A peony-lined front path offers a warm welcome to a residence that has been meticulously transformed, inside and out, with intelligent, curated upgrades that blend comfort, beauty, and function. The heart of the home is a fully reimagined kitchen and dining space—walls were removed to create an open and airy layout ideal for modern living. A marble countertop, Bertazzoni induction range, custom tilework, new lighting, and an elegant and functional pantry elevate the kitchen’s utility and charm. Adjacent, the dining area shines under designer fixtures, and a completely renovated powder room offers rich detail with wallpaper, a custom vanity, and modern fixtures. Next to the kitchen, a family room with sunlit bay window seating awaits - perfect for play, reading, or casual gatherings. The living room, anchored by a classic fireplace and built in shelving, flows into a bright, versatile bonus room ready to serve as a mudroom, playroom or home office. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a serene retreat, reimagined with custom cabinetry and lighting, dual wall units flanking a window seat, and a beautifully updated en suite bathroom. Closets galore adorn the room so that today's homeowner can enjoy the charm of in-town living with a modern closet system and space. Three additional bedrooms share a generously sized hall bath, also renovated with an eye for clean, contemporary design. The staircase was completely rebuilt with custom woodwork and a refined banister, giving the entryway a graceful presence. Outdoors, the backyard is a true sanctuary. A major landscape redesign introduced a custom bluestone patio with elegant rounded cheekwalls, integrated lighting, bluestone steppers, and a permeable Truegrid driveway. Several native trees and perennial plantings—including redbuds, hawthorn, viburnum, cherry and horse chestnut—create a lush, layered setting. A custom-built shed by Tay River Builders and a rain barrel irrigation system reflect both craftsmanship and sustainability. A new roof was installed in 2024, and top-down/bottom-up custom blinds were added to key rooms for both privacy and light control. Additional features include a 240V Juicebox EV charger, upgraded electrical to support an induction range, and a whole-home Aquasana water filtration system. This is not simply a home—it’s a considered renovation that honors tradition while embracing today’s living in one of Princeton's most desirable locations. With every detail thoughtfully executed, this Princeton Colonial is ready for its next chapter.
