A Classic Mid-Century Home in a Peaceful Setting.
For the buyer seeking the perfect starter home, or ready to downsize to a more manageable, one-level abode, this two-bedroom, one-bath home in Hopewell Township’s Sourland Mountains offers mid-century charm with all the modern amenities.
Set on just over an acre of partially wooded land, the ranch-style home enjoys plenty of natural light streaming through recently replaced windows and front door, and a great vista of wildlife and passing bicyclists.
At the front door, a spacious living room opens to the large eat-in kitchen. Light maple Shaker-style cabinets and stainless steel appliances, including a brand new, four-burner gas stove, combine with black quartz countertops and oversized white subway tile to give the room a decidedly modern air. A cushioned window seat spans half the back wall, offering concealed storage plus a cozy place to spy on the birds
The master bedroom, more than large enough for a king bed, and a slightly smaller bedroom with a woodland mural, each have ceiling fans. The bathroom sports pale gray and black tile in excellent condition, plus new toilet, vanity and sink.
At the other end, a cozy breezeway/mud room connects the home to the attached two-car garage, and offers points of egress to the front and back yards.
A fully finished basement offers a multitude of possibilities (family room, play room, home office), plus ample storage in three nicely sized closets. The utility/laundry room houses a state-of-the-art water filtration system with pH neutralizer, water softener, UV light and filter, and a Bilco door to the backyard. Two sump pumps and a French drainage system have kept the basement dry.
This truly is a low-maintenance home that current and past owners have put a lot of thought and work into. Improvements made in the last 10 years include a whole-house automatic generator, (generac) realigned gutters with new leaf guards, newer septic, overhead lights and ceiling fans, attic fan with humidistat, and Fleur De Lis ceiling tiles in the breezeway, hard wood floors and central air
Location wise, the home is steps from Cedar Ridge Preserve and a short drive to several quaint downtowns: Hopewell Borough, Pennington, Princeton and Lambertville. Revered for its peaceful and preserved open spaces, and yet a short drive to the shore, NYC and Philadelphia. Come see and stay!
