About This Home
This enchanting 19th-century Pennington Boro cottage underwent a transformative expansion in 2009, redefining it as "deceptively large”, blending historic charm with flexible living options by way of a versatile front-to-back floor plan. Numerous possibilities include potential for a Mother-Daughter conversion, or configurations such as an au pair, in-law, or guest suite, facilitated by two entrances, dual staircases, and distinct yet cohesive living spaces. Enter through the main door from the sweet front porch adorned with gingerbread cutout railings, to a flexible space for use as an office, studio or den, with a cozy fireplace, powder room and stairway leading to the 2nd floor. The secondary main floor entrance on the side of the home, complete with mudroom, leads to the open-concept kitchen and main living area, which boasts a 2nd fireplace, another stairway to the upper level, and a back door to the deck. The 2nd floor hosts 3 beds, including two connected by a Jack and Jill bath, a main hall bath, and a generously sized primary bed featuring an exceptionally large walk-in closet. The finished basement offers additional living space, ideal for recreation, exercise, or movie nights. The property's deep lot, detached one-car garage with a stairway to a storage loft and deck off of the main living space are additional perks. Recent cosmetic upgrades include new paint and carpet, updated lighting fixtures, modernized bathrooms, an electric car charger, TWO new sets of washer/dryers, and many more. This home is a special find and presents a unique opportunity for those who are aesthetically inclined, value layout versatility, and proximity to the area’s vibrant eateries, independent shops and arts and culture.
