On a street where antique homes stand shoulder-to-shoulder, this Victorian draws you in with its breezy lemonade porch. In bustling Hopewell Borough and just a stone’s throw from Princeton, this gracious home embodies both times gone by and modern creature comforts. Renovated by Baxter Construction, the updates honor the home’s rich craftsmanship while adding contemporary touches that make it a standout. One of the first details to catch your eye will be the deep ebony window frames striking against the soft hues of tastefully painted walls. Charming arched doorways lend a dash of whimsy, and a delightful barn-style door adds a cozy, rustic touch, separating the living room and family room, where a fireplace promises warm gatherings. For book lovers, a vestibule lined with glass bookshelves is a serene nook to display your treasures. A large dining room awaits your holiday traditions. The show-stopping kitchen is a culinary work of art, festooned with high-end appliances and sparkling countertops. Around the corner, find a powder room and the laundry, and there’s a door out to a minimal maintenance backyard. Upstairs, five bedrooms radiate old-world charm with loads of natural light, served by an up-to-date bathroom. This one will require a USE and OCCUPANCY until September.
