    What's special

    Generous unhurried eleganceLush private garden
    Rarely does a home of this character come to market in Princeton's Riverside section. Originally tended by a master gardener, this handsome three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath brick colonial has been the subject of a thoughtful $200,000 renovation, leaving it as polished inside as the private grounds that surround it. Located within easy walking distance of both Princeton University and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Nassau Street, the address alone is extraordinary. Step inside and the first floor unfolds with a generous, unhurried elegance. The living room faces the rear of the property, where multiple windows frame the garden like a living painting, and a classic brick fireplace anchors the room with warmth and character. The large dining room flows naturally toward the rear of the home and opens into a luminous sunroom — a year-round retreat flooded with natural light and fitted with French doors that open directly onto a paved patio. Beyond those doors lies the true jewel of this property: the lush, private garden. Cultivated with the eye and devotion of a master gardener, this remarkable outdoor space is a sanctuary of texture, color, and calm — offering a degree of privacy and horticultural beauty that is simply irreplaceable in this market. The renovated kitchen offers light and function. Gorgeous bay windows draw in sweeping front yard views while skylights overhead bathe the room in daylight at every hour. A center island anchors the space, providing both workspace and a natural gathering point. A discreet powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms of real substance. Two generous bedrooms share a beautifully appointed full bathroom. The primary suite, thoughtfully updated with its own en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet speaks to modern expectations without sacrificing the home's original sensibility. A one car garage completes this beautiful property.
