The light streaming through the windows casts playful shadows of leaves dancing in the breeze in this sun-filled corner unit at The Jefferson development in Ewing. The three-story walk up (Arlington model) in pristine condition offers two bedrooms with private baths, an open living space with nine-foot ceilings, an in-unit laundry room and a nicely equipped kitchen. But the highlight, hands down, is the natural light streaming through the windows that line two walls at the back of the unit, and the opportunity to watch the sun rise, each morning, through the trees outside your private balcony. The L-shaped living space is a combined living and dining space with convenient access to both the kitchen, which has a wood floor and stainless-steel appliances, including a five-burner gas stove and microwave oven vent (an upgrade), and the balcony, accessed through a French door and spacious enough for a bistro table and chairs and small grill. (A nearby utility closet has room for bicycles and outdoor furniture off season.) Tree-top views create the illusion of a tree house, and offer shade and a sense of seclusion. In the master bedroom, the eye is immediately drawn upward to the elegant tray ceiling with fan. A pair of closets, including a walk in, and a private bath with double vanity and spacious shower, complete the suite. The second bedroom, across the hall, has a tub/shower combo in the bathroom, and can also be used as a home office, nursery or guest room. Two closets in the entry hall offer ample storage for clothes, while the third conceals utilities and offers additional storage. The laundry room is spacious, and is equipped with upper cabinets installed by the homeowner. The community club house features a workout area and pool, and for outdoor enthusiasts, there is bocce ball court, a private tot lot and walking/biking trails nearby. Location-wise, this home offers the easiest access imaginable to major commuter routes (295, 95 and 1) and shopping centers, Capital Health Hopewell, and quick drive times to Princeton, Pennington and Trenton. It’s also close enough to Hamilton and West Trenton stations to make commuting by train to New York City and Philadelphia convenient. And, it offers fast access to a trio of college campuses (Rider, Princeton and The College of New Jersey), plus TCNJ’s new College Town featuring popular shops and eateries.
