Charming Ranch with Flexible Living and Storybook Acreage in Hopewell Valley. .. Welcome to 161 Bull Run Road—an inviting 4 bed/3 bath ranch set on a picturesque 1-acre lot in the heart of the desirable Hopewell Valley School District with In-Law Suite. Built in 1955 with enduring craftsmanship and lovingly maintained, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates—creating a space that’s as functional as it is warm and welcoming. The main level features beautifully preserved white oak hardwood floors and a spacious, flowing layout that includes a light-filled living room, dining room, and a cozy family room with a stone fireplace. The oversized eat-in kitchen is lined with walls of cabinetry, offering abundant storage and space for gathering. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full baths complete the main level, providing comfort and flexibility. The lower level offers an incredibly versatile space: in-law suite, au pair quarters, or private work-from-home needs. With its own private entrance, this level includes a sunlit bedroom with a wall-length closet, a full bath with tub, a large second kitchen, living room with fireplace, den, oversized pantry, dedicated laundry room, and a spacious unfinished area ideal for storage. Extensive closets throughout, including multiple cedar-lined ones, ensure smart organization across both floors. Outdoor living shines with a covered front porch featuring stone flooring and skylights, and a backyard that feels like a retreat. A steel-reinforced bridge crosses a tranquil creek—protected by a sturdy gabion wall—leading to a peaceful picnic area and space for a tire swing. A circular driveway offers easy access and ample parking. Modern updates ensure peace of mind: Roof redone in 2015, a generator transfer switch that powers much of the home during storms, and a comprehensive drainage system beneath the lower level with multiple sump pumps to keep the space reliably dry year-round. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to support comfort, security, and today’s lifestyle demands. Perfectly positioned near I-295 for convenient commuting, and just minutes from Hopewell Crossing and Downtown Pennington, this one-of-a-kind property offers space, flexibility, and enduring value in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

R100
Residential District
The purpose of this section is to recognize the existing pattern of detached dwellings, to preserve environmentally critical areas as identified in the adopted master plan and the natural resources inventory, and to allow the township to provide a variety of housing, including lower income housing in the identified areas. The selection of dwelling unit types in the R-5 District should provide a balance of housing choices attractive to all income and age segments of the community as part of the township's fair share of the regional housing needs. The criteria are intended to provide flexibility in the design of developments to aid in reducing housing costs, encouraging lower income housing, allowing construction to avoid environmentally critical areas, and removing residences from busy highways and other potential nuisances created by noise and visual blight.
