This property is a real estate trifecta, offering a relaxed setting in the Sourland Mountains; proximity to the quaint Hopewell downtown bustling with boutiques, antique shops, eateries and theater/cinema; and easy access to Princeton, Hillsborough and Lambertville.Set back from the road and shaded in the front by majestic trees, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod hits the style points sought by today s buyer. The mud/laundry room connect the two-car garage to the home; the leaded stained glass front door opens to a spacious foyer; the living room, hall and kitchen sport gleaming hardwood floors; and the oversized kitchen looks as though it were plucked from the pages of a decorator s portfolio.Contrasting colors and textures define this spectacular space: slate gray custom cabinetry by Brookhaven, top stainless steel appliances (including a Wolf induction cook top and vent hood), black Cambria quartz on the 4x9-foot island with apron sink and seating for four, and white Cambria quartz countertops flanking the stove and cozying up nicely to the beveled white subway tile backsplash. At one end of the kitchen, a dining area opens to the living room; at the other, a built-in refrigerator with obsidian interior features French doors and freezer drawer, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry meets a variety of storage needs. And, the cherry on the sundae is the perfectly centered view, through the trio of sliding French doors, of the 20x40 foot built-in pool (seven feet deep at the far end) expertly surrounded by paver stones. The kitchen/patio layout is ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.A full bath and an adjacent flexible room (e.g., au pair, guests, in-laws, study, home office) complete the first level.Upstairs, plush wall-to-wall carpeting warms your toes in the three bedrooms, which share a recently remodeled full bath with glass sliding shower doors, a black vanity topped with gleaming white sink, and wall and tile in a soothing scheme of white, pale gray and black, trimmed with a basket weave accent.Storage abounds in this home, with generous closets, crawl spaces, and easy-to-access loft storage in the garage. And, when the power s out, a generator automatically powers the essentials, including the fridge, well pump, heat and septic pump. Recent upgrades include the septic pump and water softener (replaced in 2017), the second-floor bath (remodeled in 2015), and the pool (installed in 2010).
