Built circa 1780, the Moses Baldwin House is a captivating homestead set in a quiet corner of Pennington. Once home to the town’s cordwainer (or shoemaker), the property has evolved through thoughtful upgrades that align it with 21st-century living while honoring its past. A clear sense of care and stewardship is evident throughout. Historic details such as wide-plank floors, timber-framed doorways, generous fireplaces, and original fixtures lend warmth and character to every room. These elements are complemented by well-considered modern updates that enhance comfort and function. Both the living room and family room feature woodstoves within their fireplaces and provide inviting spaces for gathering, along with a spacious dining room. The renovated kitchen stands out as a central hub, with marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, custom pantry storage, a Bertazzoni range and hood, and refined cabinetry. A nearby powder room is handy. Upstairs, is the main bedroom, along with three additional bedrooms, a laundry closet, and two modern bathrooms. A thoughtfully added study connects directly to one of the bathrooms, offering a cozy work-from-home nook or TV lounge. Despite its peaceful setting, the home is just minutes from Pennington’s shops, dining, and everyday amenities, offering an appealing balance of privacy and accessibility.
