About This Home

As of April 2025

This captivating home is like stepping into a Victorian-era time capsule, offering a glimpse into the past while inviting you to create a future filled with warmth and character. Sunlight streams through large windows, illuminating intricate woodwork, decorative fireplaces, and exquisite tilework you just can’t find anymore. The spacious kitchen, a modern heart in this historic home, is ready for your recipes, while the formal living and dining rooms are perfectly scaled for entertaining. Upstairs, reached via a striking main staircase or a back pie staircase near the mudroom, four bedrooms boast pumpkin pine flooring and high ceilings. Soaring, angular ceilings in the attic make it a hidden gem, just begging to be transformed into a studio, a home office, or whatever your needs may be. Beyond the home's enchanting interior, Pennington Borough offers a vibrant community with charming shops, delicious restaurants, and a warm sense of local pride. Easy access to Route 31 connects you to the wider world while allowing you to embrace the rhythm of small-town life. This property is being sold in as-is condition.
