There’s a certain kind of home that doesn’t need grandeur to make an impression; it simply feels right from the very first moment. Tucked just off Route 31 near Pennington, this charming, beautifully updated ranch is exactly that kind of place. Arrival sets the tone. A generous covered front porch welcomes you in, hinting at the comfortable livability that defines the home within. Step inside to a gallery-style foyer with an alcoved wall perfectly suited for a curated display of photographs and memories. From here, sightlines open to a dining room wrapped in classic wainscoting, offering a refined yet approachable setting for gatherings. Just beyond, the family room becomes the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace and bathed in natural light from overhead skylights. The space wraps around you, and is cozy, bright, and effortlessly livable. The kitchen is a standout, reimagined with a soft, modern palette of grey and white cabinetry, gleaming stainless steel appliances, and elegant granite countertops. A large window above the sink frames views of the expansive backyard, making even the simplest moments feel connected to the outdoors. Sliding doors extend the living space to a slate patio, perfect for al fresco dining. Throughout the home, updates have been made with both style and practicality in mind. The current owners have transformed the mudroom into a highly functional and attractive entry point for daily life. Bathrooms have been renovated, blending fresh finishes with timeless appeal. Even the oversized garage has been elevated and is now a true year-round space thanks to an epoxy floor and its own mini split system. Three spacious bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, while a full basement offers finishing possibilities. Out back, the property truly shines, complete with a shed and ample space for play, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. And while the setting feels serene, convenience is never far away. Downtown Pennington, the Pennington Market, and highly-regarded Hopewell schools are all just a short distance from your doorstep.

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.
