About This Home
Nestled in the heart of the historic Hiltonia neighborhood, this timeless Colonial beautifully blends classic architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates. Surrounded by one of Trenton’s most distinguished, friendly, and close-knit communities, this exceptional home offers character, craftsmanship, and elegance rarely found today.
Step into the stunning living room featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling with rich wood paneling, exposed beams, a marble fireplace with custom mantle, and an oversized picture window overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds — creating a warm and inviting space that feels both grand and timeless.
The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a new refrigerator, a double stainless steel sink, updated cabinet hardware, and finishes that perfectly complement the home’s historic character. A versatile first-floor den provides the flexibility to serve as a home office, library, or potential third bedroom.
Throughout the home, beautiful original details remain thoughtfully preserved, including ceramic tile baths, cedar-lined closets, and generously sized bedrooms highlighted by an expansive primary suite. A screened rear porch and partially finished basement offer additional space for relaxing, entertaining, or everyday living.
Modern improvements including a newer roof, gutter guards, hot water heater, washer, dryer, and refrigerator provide peace of mind while maintaining the home’s enduring charm and character.
Outdoor living is equally inviting with a newly concreted patio creating the perfect setting for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The former slate patio has been thoughtfully relocated to a walkable side area of the home, adding both charm and functionality to the exterior spaces.
Adding to the home’s exceptional functionality is an attached double-car garage along with a spacious detached shed offering abundant storage for tools, hobbies, seasonal items, or workshop space. Together, these spaces provide outstanding convenience, flexibility, and storage rarely found in homes of this era.
The beautifully maintained grounds are enhanced by an abundance of mature plantings, established trees, and lush landscaping that elevate the home’s timeless curb appeal. Thoughtfully designed gardens and vibrant greenery create a peaceful, picturesque setting with beauty throughout every season. From the inviting outdoor entertaining areas to the serene yard spaces, the landscaping provides the perfect backdrop for relaxing and enjoying the charm of this exceptional property.
Rich in history, architectural character, and timeless appeal, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Trenton’s most admired and distinguished neighborhoods.
