139 Reservoir Rd, Hopewell, NJ 08525

On a peaceful, wooded lot within strolling and bicycling distance of Hopewell Borough’s quaint downtown dotted with eateries, boutiques and a children’s book shop, sits a four-bedroom, two-bath, center-hall Colonial with hardwood floors and two working fireplaces. A formal living room, accented with crown molding and a generously sized wood-burning fireplace, and filled with natural light from windows on three walls, stretches from the front to the back of the home. The kitchen, which features a generous work area, long expanses of cabinetry and countertop, and a wall oven, opens to a breakfast bar overlooking the backyard and raised deck, and a family room spacious enough for a baby grand piano. The home’s second wood-burning fireplace, with built-in wood storage adjacent, is here. A shabby chic chandelier offers a playful contrast to wood ceiling beams. A full bathroom finishes the lower level. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms share a hall bath. A finished basement provides additional living space in a home that’s already spacious, and a Bilco door provides ease of access to the yard. The home is set back on nearly three wooded acres. Pocket gardens filled with shade-loving ground covers and plants, some surrounded by short stone walls, accent the yard. A raised deck at the back of the home is the perfect spot to grill or lounge, offering surround-sound nature, and a lovely view of the backyard. In addition to a generous number of closets throughout the living space and basement, there is also an attached two-car garage. Recent upgrades and improvements include new stainless-steel liners in both fireplaces, all but 2 windows replaced and Bilco door. Location wise, this home is ideally situated for commuters to Princeton and New Hope, and near many lovely outdoor spaces, including St. Michael’s Preserve; nearby bike paths lead into Princeton. Additionally, Hopewell is home to top-rated, award-winning schools, and the setting for many community gatherings, included food truck fairs and street festivals.
