Description

Welcome to this impressive Toll Brother 2-bedroom and 2-full bath Norwich model in the popular gated Active Adult community known as Riviera at East Windsor. It is not only unique in its location but also in the age requirements for its residents. This community requires the purchaser to be at least 55 years of age, but all other residents can be 19-years of age, or older. So, you need not concern yourself with older children who want to come home or just visit and stay for the summer. As you enter through the front door (access controlled by a keyless entry lock) you step into the lighted foyer area. You will immediately appreciate the open space, amplified by 10 ceilings, as you step in and are introduced to the formal living room and dining room, all with spectacular real hardwood flooring. This unique space has windows on two sides, giving you natural light much of the day. At this point you can go thru the stately glass-paned French doors to enter the primary section of the house containing the kitchen, breakfast room, family room and main suite. The kitchen is classic in its tasteful tiling, granite countertops with breakfast bar, 42 rich maple cabinets, and accessorized with built in dishwasher, microwave, wall oven and gas cooktop, and stainless-steel French door refrigerator. The kitchen is illuminated by dimmable recessed lights and melts into the breakfast room. Walk-out sliding glass doors give you all the natural light you need, plus a small, covered porch where you can relax outside when drinking your morning coffee or tea. Off the breakfast room is the generous-sized family room, floored with the same rich, real hardwood found throughout the house. One full wall of the family room is windowed, allowing sunlight to spill in and brighten your day. This great room is enhanced with more recessed lights and a premium remote-controlled / dimmable ceiling fan. Where do we go next? How about the comfortably spacious main bedroom with a luxurious and hotel-like main bathroom? The beautiful bedroom offers you a tray ceiling, double crown moldings, plush carpets, a wall full of windows and a walk-in closet that is bigger than some college dorm rooms. The spacious bathroom has tiled floors, a his-and-her double sink, a huge, corner soaking tub, and a separate stand-alone tiled shower stall. Now let us move on to the 2nd bedroom with soft plush carpets, dimmable ceiling fan and spacious closet, with easy access to the 2nd full bathroom, gracefully appointed with tiled floors and premium decorative tiling around a tub/shower combo. Step into the short hall to the washer/dryer room, which also acts as a mud room to the attached 2-car garage. The garage has an auto-opener with additional external keypad access along with sturdy metal shelves on the walls and ceiling for easy storage. Spacious attics with 400 sq feet of in-home storage, above the garage. The house may have been built in 2004, but the owner has been conscious of the need to maintain. The owner installed a whole house attic fan in 2022, a new water heater in 2022, AC unit in 2022, a furnace with humidifier and special UV germicidal light in 2021 (the same kind of protection that hospitals installed to reduce airborne viruses, fungus, allergens, and illnesses). This distinctive home is in a community with 375 homes, 2 swimming pools (indoor & outdoor), hot tub, fitness center, club house w/ a game room, & walking paths. Your home is a short walk to the main club house with the numerous amenities offered because of your reasonable monthly HOA fee. A few amenities you will learn to love: Fitness center, Indoor and Outdoor pool, card room, Arts and crafts studio, ballroom, library, walking and biking trails, tennis courts, and steam/sauna room. If you need to take a day trip to see your friends or just go sightseeing, you are minutes away from the NJ Turnpike, Routes130, 195 & 295. Make no mistake this is the home you have been waiting to see!
