1003 Cherry Valley Rd, Hopewell, NJ 08525

This “cute as a button” expanded circa 1800s colonial sits just outside of Hopewell Borough, close to Pennington Borough, and is so convenient to downtown Princeton. From the handy semi-circular driveway, you enter the side door hall, which is flanked by an office or mudroom on the left, and a first-floor laundry room to the right. The updated kitchen lies before you with: granite counters, gas-cooking, stainless appliances and French doors out to a brick patio and large fully-fenced backyard. A dining area, with exposed beams, opens to both the kitchen and the family room, where built-in bookcases and a television cabinet add to the many modern conveniences. Across the hall sits the living room, or formal dining room, whichever you may choose, with its own tall set of built-in bookcases. That room could also serve other uses: large office, library, playroom, music room, etc. Upstairs, three bedrooms are all just the right sizes, with the grand main suite having been expanded, and now sporting a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, walk-in closet and a renovated sumptuous bathroom. An updated hall bath serves the other two bedrooms. Original antique pumpkin pine flooring exists throughout. The wonderfully open backyard possesses the brick patio, while a bluestone terrace rests at the front of the house. Newer cedar siding was completed on the house exterior, ($100K investment). The Septic system was replaced in 2004 and now also has 2 new tanks. This sweet home is a real gem for antique home lovers, and is is located within the Hopewell Valley School system.
