24 Mountainview, Ewing Township, NJ 08628

Built in 1926, with its classic style and charm intact, this four-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom Dutch Colonial, the grand dame of the Mountain View neighborhood, is located where Gen. George Washington made his famous crossing to change the tide of the American Revolution. Bright and airy rooms with nine-foot ceilings are a joy to walk through, as features dating to the home~s provenance delight the eye. The center-hall entry welcomes with an original solid wood birdcage railing around the newel post of the turned staircase; throughout the home, solid wood floors (some nestled beneath carpeting) and original wood trim provide classic finishing touches. On the first level, the dining room with French doors is to the left of the front door. To the right, pass through a second pair of French doors into the living room with gas fireplace and beyond that, into a welcoming sunroom. At the back of the home, the kitchen opens to a sun porch with windows on three sides, and a door to the side yard. It~s a breakfast nook meant for lingering mornings spent over newspapers, coffee and breakfast. In the hallway outside the kitchen, clever storage conceals spices and glassware. On the home~s second level, three corner bedrooms share a full hall bath. A fourth room, compact and currently in use as a sewing room, could easily become a laundry room or full bath. If additional living space is needed, there is walk-up access to the unfinished attic, with gable windows at both ends. Storage abounds with a full basement, under-eave storage in the attic, and closets galore! A small fenced-in area behind the garage is perfect for pets and play. The stairwell beneath the Bilco door in the basement currently serves as the home~s root cellar. Enjoy lovely aesthetics and fascinating history, a nicely landscaped corner lot ideal for al fresco gatherings, and a location convenient to so much! This home is a commuter~s dream, with its easy access to major commuter routes and quick drive times to Princeton, Pennington and Trenton, and its proximity to Hamilton train station, which offers service to New York City, and West Trenton Station to Philadelphia. Enjoy the D & R Canal hiking and biking trails and Thunder AA Baseball too. A little polish is all this diamond in the rough needs to restore its stately past, so be sure to bring your imagination, your paintbrush and your HGTV!
