About This Home

As of June 2023

Just one block to Broad Street, it is easy to enjoy all the sights, sounds, and gourmet delights of Hopewell Borough without ever thinking about taking out the car. The whole house was recently painted (2021), carpeting replaced in the upper level (2021)l, and new floors in the lower level (2022). The kitchen includes a skylight, stainless appliances, and a spacious dining area with a modern new light fixture. Down the hall, one of two full bathrooms was tastefully updated with well-chosen fixtures. The master suite boasts a second full bath, generous closets, and views of the backyard.

In addition to the attached one-car garage, the lower level houses a finished room with its own entrance that is currently shown as a home office and could easily be use d a a fourth bedroom. The other part of the recently renovated lower level (2022) is extremely versatile and is currently being shown as a studio apartment with a queen bed and dining area. It has a second entrance from the lower level out to the fenced backyard. The newly installed solar system results in $5.00 monthly electric bills in perpetuity!

And for anyone who appreciates established gardens and growing their own vegetables, this one will be a real paradise offering a yard full of organic vegetables and herb beds and perennial blooms throughout the season. Don't miss this one!
