This quaint country home, the heart of which dates to the 1850s, is filled with character and charm, and abundant natural light. Random-width pumpkin pine floors in the kitchen, one of the two original rooms, nicely complement bead board cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized quartz-topped work table with shelf storage beneath. A step-in pantry cleverly uses space at the top of the cellar stairs to keep kitchen essentials within easy reach. Hardwood floors in the living room add an elegant touch to the front of the home. At the back, a skylit family/dining room stretches from front to back, and offers sliding door access to the spacious deck overlooking the backyard. A mudroom entry with slate-tiled floor leads to the laundry room, and a full bath with shower and crisp white shiplap on the walls. The master bedroom is the first room at the top of the spacious landing. It is an airy space, with wide closets flanking a lighted vanity table nestled beneath an archway. Windows on three walls fill the room with sunlight, and offer panoramic views of the home’s surroundings, the highlight of which is preserved farmland and a pond across the way. Three others bedroom are on this level, though two can be combined into one larger space with the easy removal of the dividing wall. A full bath with tub/shower combo is shared by all. Landscaped with the nature enthusiast in mind, the near-three-acre lot is dotted with meadows, a fenced dog run, a fenced garden, a brick barbecue, patio, pond and raised decks. Three outbuildings of various sizes will accommodate an array of storage needs, with the smallest the perfect size for a child’s playhouse. The attached three-car garage offers additional storage space, as does the basement, which was outfitted with a French drainage system in 2019, and offers two storage rooms and one finished room with built-in cabinetry along one wall, making it the perfect space for a teen hangout, media room or home office. Bilco doors to the outside make seasonal storage a cinch. The home also has one fireplace, plus a central vac, recessed lighting, and central air to keep the home cool in summer. Don’t be fooled by its serene and private setting, as the home is centrally located in Hopewell Township, and offers easy access to charming downtown Pennington, Hopewell Boro and Princeton , as well as major commuter routes 295, 95, 1. Fireplace in family room works fine, but is being sold "as is"
