218 PARKSIDE AVENUE, TRENTON, NJ 08618

$649,900

Welcome to 218 Parkside Avenue, a rare offering. Located in historic Cadwalader Heights, with views of the nearly 100 acre Cadwalader Park, this home will astound you with the grandeur and the intimacy of the spaces within. Both the neighborhood and the park were designed by noted landscape architect Fredrick… Read More Law Olmstead, the visionary behind New York's Central Park. This architectural gem boasts over 5,300 sqft of finished interior living space and is set on a large, landscaped lot with two car garage and off-street parking. Upon entering the front of the home, you'll pass through the double doored vestibule and are welcomed by a grand entryway featuring an ornate ceiling and centralized access to the other rooms. Your eye is drawn to the sweeping light filled staircase at the other end which was artfully crafted into the turret at the rear of the home. Of the many standout features of the first floor is a sun-filled solarium with flagstone flooring and working fountain - a unique and calming space that connects the home to nature. The expansive living room has a stunning sandstone fireplace and opens onto a beautiful stone portico that extends to a graveled terrace beyond, creating a refined indoor-outdoor transition ideal for both sophisticated entertaining or cherished time with friends and family. Off the nicely sized kitchen you'll find a large formal dining room and a separate more versatile breakfast room with a fireplace, classic tile floor, and custom built-ins, together offering warmth, convenience and an excellent start to your day. There is also a butler's pantry and half bath to round out the first level. Continuing on to the upper floors, you'll ascend the grand staircase, or the more modest but convenient back stairs. There, spread out over two floors are six bedrooms, four exquisite, vintage tile baths and additional rooms to use however you choose. Take note of the fabulous primary bedroom; complete with en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub and walk in shower, as well as a separate dressing area. Every detail has been preserved and enhanced - and the pride of ownership and respect for original craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the hardwood floors, the thoughtfully placed built-in cabinetry and elegant tile work from Trenton's own Mueller Mosaic Tile company to the exterior copper gutter system. As you tour the home, take note of the myriad of detailed features and amenities, too numerous to list, both inside and out. The home is close to public schools, within 30 minutes to multiple, highly regarded, private schools and less than 10 minutes from train stations to NYC, Philadelphia and beyond, as well as, the Trenton Mercer Airport. Schedule your private tour today, you won't be disappointed. Read Less
