The one you've been waiting for! Incredibly charming single family home with gorgeous yard in picturesque location along the D and R canal, part of an attractive community of historic houses and friendly, caring neighbors. Quiet Glen Afton boasts an eclectic array of single family homes, most of them built in the 20s and 30s, each one unique. This house was built in 1930 and you will not find a more delightful and well appointed property anywhere at this price point. For more than a decade this home has been lovingly occupied and responsibly maintained by its current owners. Among their many upgrades, the heating system was converted from oil to natural gas, and a new furnace and hot water heater installed (2008). The eat-in kitchen was thoroughly renovated into a fresh, welcoming space featuring granite countertops, new cabinets, new cork flooring, stainless steel appliances (refrigerator and built-in microwave included in the sale), as well as new electric, all 2008. All eighteen windows in the house were replaced (2008). The full bath was entirely remodeled in 2013, and all the plumbing in the house was upgraded in 2013 as well. Most of the interior has been painted since 2015. The slate roof has been maintained throughout owners' residency. The long driveway was resealed in 2014 and a new front walkway and stairs constructed in 2018. The property also boasts a detached garage, unfinished basement, and large, high-ceilinged attic that provide ample storage space. Allergy sufferers will appreciate that this house has NO carpeting--real hardwood throughout (except for cork in kitchen and dining room and tile in bath). The house is fully equipped with a state of the art home security system including motion detectors. The front yard is lavishly planted and requires virtually no maintenance. The backyard consists of a paver patio and grassy lawn that backs up to the Delaware and Raritan Canal. That's right, grab your kayak and go paddling in your own backyard after work, or take a relaxing walk down the towpath. On the other side of the canal are the stunning grounds of the Trenton Country Club--what a backdrop! The setting is truly shockingly beautiful. Forty-five minutes to Center City Philadelphia, 90 minutes to New York City. Thirty minutes to downtown Princeton, twenty minutes to Lambertville/New Hope, fifteen minutes to either TCNJ or Rider, ten minutes to downtown Trenton and the train station. Less than an hour to the Jersey shore at Belmar. Please note: NO flood insurance is required at this location, which is on a hill! Come see it and be amazed.
