Property Description

Quintessential Pennington Colonial! In the heart of The Boro, within walking distance to schools, shops, and dining & directly across from Sked Street Park, is where you will find this stately residence. Built by William P. Howe in 1918, and originally used as a summer getaway by affluent families from neighboring states, this 4000+ sq. foot property blends the charm and character of yesteryear with the desired amenities of today. Immediately upon entering, you will not only appreciate the open layout, but you will sense a warm and inviting feeling. Whether you choose to gather with friends and enjoy the woodburning fireplace (newly installed liner) in the living room, to sit & read or listen to music in the library, or to have a cup of coffee in the heated sunroom, there is such an ease of transition from room to room - and the newly installed hardwood floors ensures a seamless flow. The large dining room provides access to the brand-new kitchen, complete with magnificent cabinetry, high end stainless appliances and quartz countertops. To the right is a massive mudroom, which not only connects the home to the 2-car garage but provides the best place to hang jackets and backpacks after school or leave wet clothes after playing in the snow! To the rear of the kitchen, with a completely unobstructed view, is the family room, which leads to an enclosed solarium - the perfect area to enjoy the beauty of the park like yard. With almost three quarters of an acre of space, this yard is meant for entertaining. Whether hosting a dinner party on the beautiful patio, enjoying the inground pool, or relaxing in the hot tub, it's all here - including his/her dressing cabanas! You will also find something unique - a standalone, converted garage providing flexible space that can be used as an art/yoga studio, exercise room or office. Upstairs there are 5 generously sized bedrooms, a completely remodeled main hall bath, in addition to a master bedroom with vaulted ceilings. Completing the master suite is a 2-room master bath, with a standalone shower and spa like tub, surrounded by elegant marble. The partially finished basement has multiple rooms, a reading nook, and half bath. There is also a special feature for your dog - don't forget to look for it! Living in Pennington feels like you are a world away from everything, but you're not! Located in the highly rated Hopewell Valley Regional School District, close to Princeton, Hopewell, Lambertville and New Hope, with easy access to Rts. 31, 29 & 95, Hamilton, Princeton, and Trenton train stations & the Mercer County Airport, once you tour this property and town, you will understand why Pennington had been voted as the Best NJ Town to Live!
