Location, amenities and peaceful setting: this 5-bed, 2.5-bath home has it all!Set back on a two-acre lot near the edge of Hopewell borough, and within strolling distance of its downtown dotted with quaint boutiques and restaurants, this classically styled center-hall Colonial is the perfect place to relax, outside and in, beginning at the deep covered front porch.From the elegant two-story foyer, glimpse the dining room to the left and the living room with French doors to the right. Straight ahead, feel the siren call of a large kitchen with gleaming white cabinetry, abundant pantry space and a new flat-top stove that converts with the touch of a button to two ovens!. A breakfast nook filled with sunlight from the bay window adjoins the family room with wood-burning fireplace; from here, a sliding door opens to a quaint side porch and an oversized, two-level deck spacious enough for several seating areas. At the back of the beautifully landscaped yard, a fenced-in vegetable garden with raised beds and paver walkways is surrounded by perennial beds filled with roses and enough blackberry bushes to fill a freezer, plus a single tree (one of them apple) at three of the corners.Finishing the main living space are a mudroom entry with beadboard paneling, a laundry room, access to the two-car garage, and a den with private entrance from the front porch. (This room could easily stand in as the home s fifth bedroom, offering a touch of privacy.)A graceful L-shaped staircase leads to the home s second level. At one end, a spacious master suite is the ultimate haven, with distinct sitting and sleeping areas, a spa-like bath with sunken, jetted tub and separate shower, and his-and-her walk-in closets. At the other end, three spacious bedrooms with twin closets share a hall bath with privacy door allowing access to the double sinks while the shower is in use.High-end touches abound: crown moldings on the first level, hardwood floors nearly throughout, granite and butcher-block counters in the kitchen, and soft and inviting Pottery Barn-like colors on the walls. Among the home s newer features are the roof (2017), the upstairs furnace and A/C (2017), and faucets throughout the home.At the opening to a cul-de-sac road that is quiet and restful, this home offers the added convenience of proximity to popular commuter routes, train stations, parks and great schools.
