Everything you desire in a home and more - the perfect cul de sac location in a desirable neighborhood in bucolic Hopewell Twp, a coveted first-floor home office overlooking the crisply manicured front lawn, five spacious bedrooms providing gracious accommodation, a finished English basement with sizable windows for plenty of natural light, an open floor plan with a gourmet kitchen that is as stunning as it is functional. Welcome to 57 Avalon Road in Mershon Chase, a home that stands out for its designer sensibility every bit as much as for its amenities. The neutral color palette and rich hardwood floors are a unifying theme throughout the home, accentuated by delightfully beautiful touches like the craftsman staircase with iron balusters in the foyer. The main level office is behind French doors, opposite the foyer from the living room, which opens to the dining room for an entertaining space that transitions from intimate to grand with ease. The kitchen is gorgeous and modern with the amenities today’s savvy homeowner looks for like granite counters, beautiful cabinetry with rollout shelves, a stainless steel Whirlpool appliance package, center island with seating and a lovely breakfast area with large windows and a French door leading to the deck. Imagine the indoor/outdoor entertaining possibilities, flowing easily from kitchen to deck and then to patio and lawn, all with views of the majestic treeline bordering the property line. The kitchen opens to the family room for an expansive area that naturally becomes the home’s nucleus during meal time, snack time, any time. A nicely sized mud room provides a welcome launching / landing pad between the kitchen and the door to the garage. The second level hosts the primary bedroom suite with its volume ceiling and ample square footage, along with four additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The laundry room, recreation/work-from-home/study-from-home space, and an exercise area share the finished basement. The laundry room is impressive in size and in addition to the washer and dryer includes a utility sink and enough room for your ironing board, steamer, sorting bins, hanging racks and more. The schools are the highly acclaimed Hopewell Valley Regional School System and this wonderful community is conveniently located just minutes to Pennington Boro, supermarkets, shops, businesses, transportation and major roadways, making it a delightful spot to call home.
