Welcome to this distinguished custom-built Center Hall Colonial, gracefully situated on .87 acres of professionally landscaped grounds adorned with mature trees and perennial gardens in desirable Hopewell Township. This meticulously maintained residence offers four bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms, a screened breezeway connecting to the attached two-car garage, a partially finished basement with extensive storage, a fenced rear yard, and a beautifully designed free-form in-ground pool, creating an exceptional setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Ideally located just minutes from Pennington, Hopewell Borough, and Princeton and directly across from Bear Tavern Elementary School K-5, the property provides convenient access to fine dining, shopping, major transportation routes, rail service, and regional airports, perfectly positioned midway between New York City and Philadelphia. The welcoming center hall foyer introduces the home’s thoughtfully designed floor plan, opening to a private den/study on one side and an elegant formal living room with adjoining dining room on the other. The main hallway features an updated powder room, coat closet, and convenient laundry closet complete with washer and dryer before leading to the heart of the home — a tastefully updated kitchen appointed with soft-close white cabinetry, Corian countertops, deep one-piece sink with pot faucet, custom backsplash, breakfast bar seating, recessed lighting, and stainless-steel appliances, including double wall ovens, a newer refrigerator, and dishwasher. The adjacent family room, accessible from both the kitchen and den, is highlighted by a wood-burning stove with brick hearth surround, providing warmth and character. Enhancing the home’s living space is the sun-filled solarium, accessed through double doors from both the formal living and dining rooms. Complete with an automatic exhaust fan, the solarium offers tranquil wooded views and seamless access to the rear yard and pool area. Hardwood flooring extends throughout most of the residence, adding timeless appeal and continuity throughout the interior spaces. The classic Williamsburg staircase leads to the expansive second-floor landing and bedroom level. The light-filled primary suite features double closets, ceiling fan, and a private en-suite bathroom with shower stall and Corian vanity. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide ample closet space, including one with an additional storage closet, while two bedrooms feature ceiling fans. The updated hall bathroom is appointed with ceramic tile flooring, tub/shower with decorative accent tile, Corian vanity, accent mirrors, and upgraded lighting. The partially finished basement further enhances the home’s versatility and includes additional closet storage, utility area, and built-in workbench with abundant storage options. Additional noteworthy features include a whole-house Generac generator, mature landscaping, and exceptional outdoor living spaces, completing this impressive Hopewell Township offering.
