CHARMING IN HILLWOOD MANOR! This tidy Cape Cod draws you in right from the curb with its double dormers, pleasing palate, and shrubs providing colorful contrast, with a red brick porch highlighting the burgundy shutters and front door. The appeal continues as you step into the wide sunny living room with a walk-out bay window. The dining room, straight ahead, pulls you through a broad arched doorway, while a matching arch on the opposite wall opens into the ample family room at the rear of the home. The brick fireplace and a long box bay window are the highlights of this comfortable room. It also has a convenient backdoor. A bright, cozy kitchen with seating for two is tucked to the side of the dining room and opens at its rear to the family room. Six-over-six windows, arched doorways, and rich original hardwood floors flowing from room to room are evocative of an earlier time. Down a hallway are two bedrooms, a full bath, and access to the basement. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with new laminate floors, access to the attic, and a second full bath. The full basement with 7-foot ceilings, laundry area, and an exterior door provides great potential as additional space for an office, workshop, storage, or playroom.
The detached two-car garage is generous in size, thoughtfully designed, and framed with wooden beams that couldn't be found today. It was the creation of the home's second owner and his son-in-law — obviously a labor of love. This cottage was cared for and updated as the years went on. There is fresh paint throughout the home. The hot water heater is two years old, Heil furnace and a generator for the first floor were installed in 2024, and a new dishwasher was just put in place. Convenient location, close to TCNJ, Rte 1 shopping, Princeton, Pennington, easy access to Rts. 31/295/95, convenient to the Hamilton & Trenton Train Stations and Mercer County Airport. Forty-five minutes to shore, Lambertville, and New Hope. DO NOT MISS THIS GEM!!!
