About This Home

As of August 2021

Sweet and cozy attached house available immediately in the heart of Bordentown City, with dedicated off-street parking! Cheaper than a condo and no HOA fees! This charming two bedroom one bath semi (built circa 1900) has Pergo floors in the living room, tile in the kitchen and bath, and newer carpeting on the stairs and in the bedrooms. Gas heat and cooking, window air conditioners (included). Refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer (in basement) also included. Bathroom located upstairs for your convenience. An unfinished basement and an unfinished attic (with heat and electric) are suitable for storage, not living space. There's also a large fully fenced, low-maintenance and private backyard. Please note the small size of the second bedroom. Bordentown is a small city on the Delaware that features historic architecture, casual and fine dining establishments, live music and comedy venues, art galleries, street fairs, a weekly farmers market, a marina and yacht club, and a River Line light rail station for quick connections to New York and Philadelphia. Employment centers Trenton and Princeton are just minutes away, and many Jersey shore destinations are less than an hour by car. Great house for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors (easy to rent out at $1400/month). Vacant, quick closing possible. Note: Parking is directly behind house, accessed by car through alley off West Street, use gate at back of yard to see.
