    What's special

    When affordability and location count see this charming brick townhouse in the Mill Hill section of Trenton. The brick sidewalks, vintage street lights and the surrounding historic homes provide a special ambiance to this location. A rear alley with a covered parking garage and an electric garage door opener add to the convenience of the rear entry. A brick paver patio leads from the garage to the rear entrance. The well lighted patio includes raised plant beds waiting for plantings of your choice to add a special area for relaxing, dining or entertaining. This home has been freshly painted in neutral colors and is completely and tastefully upgraded throughout. It features an open concept floorplan with abundant natural light in all rooms. Adjoining the living and dining rooms is the conveniently located upgraded kitchen. Ample cabinet space is complimented by granite countertops with tile backsplash, a stainless appliance package and a cozy breakfast bar overlooking the rear patio. To complete the first floor there is a half bath with designer finishes. The second floor includes two bedrooms and a large second floor laundry that has the potential for multiple uses due to the size of the room. Your creativity may see this room repurposed. Perhaps a sitting/reading room, a cozy office, or enjoy it as is with plenty of room for laundry chores. Rounding out the second floor is a full bath with dual sink vanity, toilet and tub. Once again high end designer fixtures and finishes make this bath special. Complimenting the historic nature of the neighborhood, the location is ideal for rail commuters via the Trenton Transit Center, or easy access to the courthouse, State agencies, the Capital Complex, and major highways. Yes it has a detached garage with electric door opener behind the home accessed by an alley. This feature makes entry to the rear door completely enclosed as the yard is completely fenced
