    What's special

    Decorative fireplacesNew shuttersNew hardiplank sidingSpotless basementEnlarged eat-in kitchenGenerous butcher-block islandWide-plank floors
    This proudly kept historic home is just steps from the cafes, shops and schools that make Pennington Borough such a beloved place to live. Freshly painted trim, new shutters and new HardiPlank siding ensure the exterior will look crisp for years to come, while up-to-date systems and smart renovations prioritize comfort and a brick driveway with EV charger adds practicality. And beyond the gated backyard’s flowering beds and mature magnolias, an unexpected bonus awaits - a private studio with lofty ceilings, exposed beams, wide-plank floors and broad picture windows. With a Murphy bed, A/C and full bath, it can easily serve as guest quarters, as well as a gym, office, artist’s retreat or gamer’s getaway. The main house is brimming with historic character by way of stained glass, exposed beams and decorative fireplaces. The enlarged eat-in kitchen features pro-style appliances and a generous butcher-block island, while nicely proportioned living and dining rooms offer plenty of space to gather. Upstairs, the main suite has been cleverly reconfigured to include luxuries rarely found in a home of this vintage - an en suite bath with double sinks and marble flooring, plus twin closets and a roomy built-in. Two additional bedrooms, one with a darling sleeping alcove, share a convenient half bath and a spacious hall bath finished with colorful handmade tile. Cedar hall closets and the spotless basement provide even more storage, especially since the laundry has been relocated to main level. A true stand-out, both in unexpected space and authentic detail, among a row of incredibly charming period homes!
