Set within the leafy and picturesque Hillwood Lakes neighborhood, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom classic practically declares it is loaded with character before you even step through the front door! But once you do, you’ll find French doors and hardwoods usher you into light-filled spaces, where formal rooms recall an era of elegance and informal spaces invite you to curl up with a good book from one of the many built-ins you’ll find throughout. A brick surround gas fireplace anchors the living room while dual glass cupboards show off life’s treasures in the dining room. The kitchen strikes the perfect balance between old and new offering stainless steel appliances and sleek updates that are softened by warm country-style tilework, anchoring the space in cozy familiarity. A first-floor flex room with a closet and accompanying bath offer options for a home office, an aging-in-place situation, or whatever your needs may require. A cozy sunroom and beautiful library with built-in bookcases along with a proper laundry room with a utility sink allows you to tackle chores with ease, completing the main level. Two staircases lead to the upstairs where five bedrooms share two bathrooms providing room for all. The family room with a cozy gas fireplace opens onto a large covered patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The big sunny yard offers plenty of space for gardening, play, or relaxing afternoons. A two-car garage provides ample storage and convenience, rounding out the property’s many thoughtful amenities. Location, of course, seals the deal here. Surrounded by well-kept Craftsman, Cape Cod, and Colonial homes with manicured lawns and just minutes from the verdant fairways of Mountainview Golf Course, The College of NJ, Trenton-Mercer Airport, major transit hubs, shopping and services, this neighborhood lives up to its reputation for serene suburban living. In an age when cookie-cutter construction dominates, this jewel proves that thoughtful design, rooted in character, never goes out of style!
