Brick patios and walkways weave through the gardens, connecting the house and cottage in a series of inviting outdoor spaces. The scene is quintessential Hopewell Valley: historic, peaceful, and surrounded by bucolic countryside. Inside, the main house retains the craftsmanship and character of the 19th century. Random-width wood floors glow with age and patina, while generously proportioned rooms are detailed with original doors and hardware, and window sills nearly a foot deep. A wide foyer welcomes visitors from the front entrance. The kitchen sits opposite the dining room, creating a natural gathering hub. Down the hall, a study with built-in bookcases offers a quiet retreat, while the living room features its own built-in shelving. Two deep storage closets and a half bath sit conveniently near the kitchen. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a hall bath, while a fourth bedroom has its own private bath. Closets, both in the bedrooms and along the hallway, provide storage uncommon in homes of this vintage. A walk-up attic offers additional potential, and the walk-out basement houses a laundry room, a gym, and a half bath. The guest cottage adds flexibility to the property. With its own kitchen, fireplace (as-is), and bath, it makes an ideal space for long-term visitors or even a creative studio. This offering carries a remarkable piece of local history. In the 19th century, it served as the Pennington area’s poor farm, part of a municipal system that provided housing and work for residents who had fallen on hard times. Established in 1843, it operated for more than a century, reflecting an early form of community social support long before modern public assistance programs. Today, the property’s peaceful setting tells an entirely different story. Located in the highly regarded Hopewell Valley School District and roughly midway between New York City and Philadelphia, it offers easy access to vibrant dining, shopping, culture, and mass transit. With its layered history, classic architecture, and idyllic surroundings, this home stands as both a reminder of Hopewell’s past and a serene country retreat for modern life! This home has solar panels on the roof, owned by the seller. All highest and best offers are due march 26th @ 5:00 pm. Please email your offer to linda twining
