There are very few places in Hopewell Township that can command the view that this lovely home enjoys. Overlooking the farmland and woodlands below, you will never want to leave! And once you experience the peace after a long day away from home, settling into your rocking chairs on the 8 year old screened in porch, you will invite friends to come to your house instead of going to theirs! The prior owner moved here for the location and views, then she transformed a quaint farm house into this lovely home including a private master suite with radiant floor heat in its master bathroom, plus a new laundry room. She renovated the kitchen, opening it up to the family room, and she rebuilt the wood burning fireplace in the living room. New stone walls and a stone patio were built outside along with the creation of the stone front porch from which to enjoy sunsets overlooking the red farm buildings and pastoral lands below. She added air conditioning, an on-demand propane generator, vector security system and B-dry basement system. This is one property that is entirely unique, and we wish the new owners many happy years enjoying the many upgrades, improvements, but most of all the views! Owner to provide Letter of Review for newly repaired septic! Work will be completed by end of April.
