This Hopewell Borough charmer is located close to all the restaurants, antiques and specialty shopping that make the town great, but it is also on a beautiful street that is close to the very popular elementary school and the park. It was built in 1922, and it is not a cookie cutter home…it has such charm and personality! The living room is quite large, with a beautiful fireplace. There could be a few seating areas in such a space. The former owners had their dining room in there and used the dining room as a sitting room. There is a great area between the kitchen and the living room that the owners used as an office but it easily could be a breakfast room or mud room. The dining room could be just that or that could be an office . There is a beautiful vaulted ceiling addition, technically a 3 season family room, but it could easily be converted to a full time space with a split system. There are a lot of possibilities. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and an updated hall bath, plus a walk in closet in the hall. The basement holds the laundry and oil tank. There is a detached garage in the corner lot. The house will no doubt need some updating and is priced accordingly., although the bathrooms and kitchen have all been thoughtfully updated. You will not find a much nicer lot and location, and the charm of a century old home is special, not to mention the appeal of Hopewell. There are always town-wide events like the Halloween parade, the Memorial Day parade (epic), Harvest Fair and Cruise Night. It’s a great place to put down roots.
