About This Home

As of July 2023

Welcome to 720 Valley Forge Avenue, a charming Colonial Cape located in the pleasant Lawrence neighborhood of Colonial Heights. This delightful home offers a perfect blend of comfort and traditional style. As you step inside, you'll immediately notice the inviting ambiance created by gleaming hardwood floors that flow seamlessly through the rooms. The first floor boasts a spacious living room with abundant natural light, perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying cozy evenings at home. The adjacent dining room provides an ideal space for formal meals or casual dinners. The well-appointed kitchen features handsome cabinetry, ample counter space and room for a breakfast table and chairs.
The first-floor bedroom is a real prize, complete with a bay window that fills the room with sunlight. It offers the convenience of an en suite full bath, providing privacy and comfort. This versatile room can be closed off with frosted French doors and could also serve as a home office, study, or guest suite.
As you approach the stairs note the graceful banister and gentle risers to the second floor. There you'll find three additional bedrooms, each with its own unique character. They share an exceptionally large, full hall bathroom.
The exterior of the property is equally impressive, with springtime flowering trees and shrubs in the front and a backyard offering plenty of room for outdoor activities and entertaining. Imagine summer barbecues or simply basking in the sun in this private oasis. Enjoy the screened-in porch with Trex-type, no upkeep flooring!
For all-weather comfort, there is central air conditioning on the first floor and Mitsubishi splits upstairs. No worries about storms or power outages---there is a Standby Generator that powers 2/3 of the house (including the sump pump, kitchen, furnace)!
With easy access to restaurants, shopping and medical centers, libraries, schools, and major transportation, (It's a commuter's heaven!) you're never far from what you need. Just 2.3 miles and 6 min drive to Hamilton station; 3.1 miles and six min drive to Trenton station. This property is sure to please. The house comes with a Home Warranty. And the Seller has the Lawrence Township C of O.
