About This Home

Completely Renovated Gem in the Heart of Hopewell Borough! Welcome to 87 Columbia Avenue—where timeless small-town charm meets fresh modern living. This fully renovated home blends thoughtful design with quality upgrades, creating a truly move-in-ready opportunity in one of the most cherished neighborhoods in the area. Inside, you’ll find a bright and welcoming layout with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, plush new carpeting, and fresh paint throughout. The remodeled kitchen shines with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a pass-through window to the dining area, creating a light-filled, open-concept flow perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A main level laundry area adds everyday convenience, tucked just off the main living space. Upstairs, two bedrooms and the full bath feature vaulted ceilings, adding architectural interest and a sense of spaciousness rarely found in homes of this size, while the extra bonus room offers flexibility as a home office, playroom, or oversized closet. Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated, while the rest of the home shines with a new roof, new HVAC system, new hot water heater, and a new asphalt driveway—all the major systems already taken care of. Set on a deep lot with public water, sewer, and natural gas, the location couldn’t be more ideal. You’re just a short stroll from Hopewell Elementary School, Hopewell Fare Market for fresh baked goods, brunch and groceries, and Hopewell Borough Park—complete with a gazebo, sports fields, and one of the best playgrounds around. With front porches lining the street, sidewalks encouraging neighborly connection, and a true community feel, this is the kind of neighborhood people dream of calling home. To make it even better, the seller is offering a $5,000 credit to open the wall between Bedroom 2 and the bonus room, creating expanded options for the new owner—and all staging furniture is included in the sale, making this a rare turnkey opportunity in the heart of it all.
