84 Parkside Dr, Princeton, NJ 08540

Perched atop a knoll on an exceptionally quiet, park-adjacent street is a custom brick Cape with the sort of undeniable charm that never goes out of style. Thanks to renovations by architect Glen Fries that improved the kitchen, mud entry and more, its appeal goes beyond just good looks. Entertaining rooms are spacious and traditionally detailed with chair-rail and crown molding, hardwood flooring and built-ins. The family room was further customized with bookshelves surrounding a gas fireplace and double sets of French doors for optional separation. In the eat-in kitchen, pearwood cabinetry has abundant storage and Miele, Sub-Zero and Wolf are names synonymous with quality. More French doors open to a patio defined by stone walls, a smart addition by the current owners that maximizes enjoyment of the .87-acre property. A new full bathroom privately situated beside a study presents the possibility of first floor accommodations, an invaluable bonus for anyone who welcomes frequent guests. Upstairs, 2 more bedrooms share a hall bathroom sporting pristine vintage tile. The primary suite has a private bath in soothing shades of seaglass green with an entire wall of custom storage just steps away to supplement two walk-in closets. The laundry room, with yet another walk-in closet, is also located on the upper level, leaving the finished basement completely devoted to leisure. A wood paneled wet bar overlooking the main room has an inviting retro vibe, while two additional rooms keep toys, games and crafts contained. Don’t miss the basement’s half-bath, another small but invaluable perk!
