700 parkside avenue

Perched prominently on a gentle knoll across the street from historic Cadwalader Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, this gracious 1916 Federal-style home has all of the charm of yesteryear with today’s amenities. The home is capped with an elegant and durable red slate roof with slates produced only by New York state quarries and is renowned for retaining its rich color during its typical 125-175 year life span. The center hall entry leads to the large living room with gas fireplace and wood beamed ceiling. The formal dining room has intricate chair rail with inset panels. The house boasts a 1962 mid-century modern galley kitchen by St. Charles New York whose kitchens are sought after the world over by famed interior designers, architects and cultivated homeowners. Features include: stainless steel countertops and appliances, a divided sink for washing dishes, another sink for food preparation, a built-in pantry and ample cabinet space. Adjoining the kitchen is a family room with sliding French doors opening to the fenced rear yard and patio with pavers – perfect for summer entertaining. Off the living room is a bright and cheery sunroom full of striking large windows. A laundry room and half bath complete the first floor. The second floor has four large bedrooms and two full baths from the 1960s (one by St. Charles New York). The third floor has two bedrooms, a hallway full bath with original porcelain bath tub and fixtures from the 1920s and an attic with lots of room for storage. In the middle of the semi-circular driveway with red tipple stones, there is a two-car detached garage with a finished bonus space upstairs. The house exterior was just painted and the yard freshly landscaped. One of Trenton’s finest and beautifully-maintained homes is now available for the first time in nearly 40 years. Sellers will provide the Trenton Certificate of Occupancy.
