The Moses Baldwin House...Feel the warmth on a cold day as you enter this historic home, ca 1780, originally the local cordwainer's home. It's located just minutes from the center of historic Pennington Borough. Nestled on almost half an acre of ground, this 2-story, 4 bedroom, 2.1 bath colonial home enjoys outlying privacy as well as convenience to the many specialty shops. Historic details include wide pumpkin pine floors, 2 working fireplaces (1 gas, one wood-burning), wood ceiling beams, latch cabinet hardware and built-in cabinetry. Start the day in the bright, updated eat-in kitchen, around the large island, the center of kitchen activity. The kitchen features upscale stainless-steel appliances (Italian Bertazonni stove, Asko dishwasher, Kitchen Aid refrigerator) marble countertops and backsplash, painted contrasting cabinetry and a white porcelain farm sink. Warm yourself by either of the 1st floor fireplaces, located in the spacious family room and the office. The dining room makes a perfect back drop for entertaining and special dinners. Four bedrooms, 2 full baths, laundry and a study or TV room occupy the second floor. The full sized, floored attic is easily accessible by stairs and provides plenty of storage space. Among newer improvements are a seamed metal roof, vinyl siding, windows in several locations and conversion from oil to gas fuel. This is a perfect main or weekend home. It's a great respite after a day of work whether work involves commuting to New York, Philadelphia or Princeton or is based at home. Parks, hiking trails, cultural venues, river recreation, horseback riding, upscale restaurants, vineyards, Hamilton Sculpture Gardens and Princeton University are just some of the nearby interests.
