About This Home

As of November 2024

Every once in a while the perfect blend of modern functionality and old world charm unites in an ideal setting. Such is the case in this expanded, classic Four-square in the heart of Pennington Borough. Just a stroll to the pool club and within easy reach of shops, schools, and restaurants, savor the magic of a home that embodies the best of both worlds. Visitors will surely comment on the enclosed front porch that invitingly welcomes guests with wood floors and a ceiling fan, overlooking a quiet, tree-lined street. The interior is equally alluring showcasing large windows, nicely-proportioned entertaining rooms, and a sizeable and captivating kitchen/great room. Counter seating for four friends and a raised hearth fireplace creates and ideal atmosphere for weekend entertaining. Outside, within the deep backyard, there is a peaceful deck. The main floor bath is brand new and adjacent a first floor bedroom. Upstairs find four more, including a step down master with multiple closets.
