About This Home

Furnished luxury rental. Set on one of the most enchanting parcels in the coveted Riverside neighborhood, this exceptional residence is a masterful blend of timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and modern luxury. Privately sited on a lush 0.6-acre lot, the home was completely reimagined by Princeton Design Guild, whose comprehensive renovation elevated every aspect of scale, craftsmanship, and livability—including the seamless addition of a private Elevator. Impeccable stewardship is evident throughout, from the pristine hardwood floors to the home’s flawless overall presentation. A gracious, extra-wide foyer sets the tone, opening to beautifully proportioned living spaces designed for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort. The living room’s classic fireplace and the dining room’s sophisticated millwork reflect understated elegance, while the expansive family room impresses with an oversized brick fireplace, walls of windows, and French doors that invite natural light and garden views. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, the sunlit breakfast area opens through additional French doors to a serene screened porch and an inviting patio framed by two magnificent London Plane trees—creating a private, resort-like setting for relaxation and entertaining alike. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with premium appliances, including Wolf and Sub-Zero, offering both beauty and performance. A discreetly positioned office provides a quiet, well-appointed workspace. Thoughtful design continues with separate laundry and mudrooms that enhance everyday functionality. All four baths are finished in timeless, neutral palettes, with the primary bath standing apart as a spa-like retreat featuring marble basketweave tile and an oversized shower. The expanded primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with a two-sided dressing room and cedar closet. A secondary suite with a curbless shower offers both sophistication and accessibility. Perfectly positioned just moments from Riverside Elementary School and Carnegie Lake, this distinguished property offers an unparalleled combination of privacy, elegance, and convenience in one of Princeton’s most desirable settings.
