Nestled on a half acre lot in Riverside this two year old transitional colonial is sure to please. A blue-stone walkway with raised beds enhance the look of the covered front porch which opens into a grand foyer flanked by a private office with a glass French door on the left and a formal living room with a gas fireplace on the right-both rooms display handsome coffered ceilings and sparkling hardwood floors. The center hall entry has a custom alcove with sconces on either side, the open staircase has a view of a three story ceiling with spectacular custom moldings at the top! The formal dining room is accessible from the foyer and is open to both the living room and kitchen. The back of the house has a relaxed floor plan that is modern and open from the kitchen and breakfast room to the family room-oversized windows bring the outdoors in and a sliding French door in the family room and a glass French door in the breakfast room, open to an expansive deck. The well appointed kitchen with a large center island topped with granite that looks like a piece of art is the focal point for entertaining, the perimeter cabinets are white, some with glass fronts and are topped with black granite that contrast the commercial grade stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry is sure to please any cook. The open kitchen and breakfast rooms flow seamlessly into the family room with a second gas fireplace finished with a texture of stack stone that mingles nicely with the hardwood floors. A fifth bedroom off of the family room has a private full bath, the mudroom has custom built cubbies, a closet and bench, a powder room just outside the mudroom completes this level of living. Upstairs is a front-to-back master suite with dual walk-in closets, a sitting room with a third fireplace and a master bath with soaking tub, dual sinks and an oversized shower and a private toilet closet. A Jack-N-Jill Suite, a Princess Suite and an upstairs laundry room finishes this level. The lower level has a fifth full bathroom, two oversized rooms (one media the other a game room) with plenty of storage and room for more expansion. The gardens are in place and the lot is completely fenced! Walk to Town, University or Carnegie Lake, easy access to Route 1, the train and more. Come and be swept away by a property that is simply delightful and move-in ready with absolutely nothing to do but be happy!
