In Princeton’s coveted Riverside neighborhood, where leafy streets and timeless architecture set the tone, this five-bedroom beauty blends classic elegance with up-to-the-minute updates. Anchoring the floor plan is a renovated kitchen, where a quartz island seats four with ease and a Wolf range stands ready for dinner parties with a hood to match. High-end appliances are all in place, and just beyond, a large sunroom adds a cheerful glow year-round. The first floor checks every box, with generous formal rooms for entertaining, a powder room, a large family room that invites daily lounging, and a fireplace-warmed home office made for focused workdays. Upstairs, the layout is just as thoughtful, offering five spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including two conveniently placed in the hall. The primary suite feels like a retreat with a fully renovated bathroom featuring a floating vanity, a whirlpool tub, and a separate shower for extra indulgence. A second-floor laundry closet adds everyday ease to this already effortless home. With its spacious footprint, refined finishes, and prime location near parks, schools, and downtown Princeton, this Riverside gem is ready to please its next lucky owner.
