About this home
A Verdant Garden Anchors This Riverside Gem!
A short walk from Nassau Street, a quieter pace prevails in this charming duplex in the Riverside neighborhood. The welcoming front porch seems made for morning coffee, while inside, sunlit rooms feel timeless. The renovated kitchen, anchored by custom maple cabinetry inspired by a Swedish farmstead, is crafted for cooks by a cook. The living and dining rooms flow together for ease of entertaining, while upstairs, a pair of bedrooms, a bonus room, and an updated full bathroom offer flexibility. The gardens, lush and layered, also truly set this home apart, providing peaceful spaces brimming with perennials. Beyond the back garden gate, an off-street parking area accommodates two cars with room to expand if needed. Nice touches include automatic window shades in the living and dining rooms and a whole house generator for peace of mind. With wood floors underfoot, a full basement, and even expansion potential in the walk-up windowed attic, this home is move-in ready in the heart of Princeton’s Riverside neighborhood.
