A Hopewell Valley Classic With Farmhouse Flair

Set well back from the road, this home enjoys an unusual degree of privacy without sacrificing convenience. Hopewell High School, the middle school, the library, and the all-new McCaffrey’s Food Market are all just about a mile away, placing daily necessities within easy reach. The backyard is the home’s defining feature. A freeform swimming pool and spa introduce a relaxed, almost vacation-like atmosphere. Nearby, a screened porch serves as an outdoor room for much of the year. It’s easy to picture gatherings that move effortlessly between the pool and porch. Inside, the house reflects many of the qualities that have long made Hopewell Township homes appealing. Peg floors and exposed beams lend a touch of farmhouse character, providing texture and warmth without feeling overly rustic. The rooms are comfortably scaled, with living and dining spaces that accommodate both everyday use and larger occasions. The kitchen opens directly to the family room, creating a layout that supports contemporary living. A fireplace anchors the space surrounded by bookshelves and cabinetry, making it just as inviting in January as the pool is in July. A laundry room and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private bath, along with a hall bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. The two-car garage is positioned so that it doesn’t face the street and instead faces the backyard, there’s a new roof (2025) and a new water heater. This one oozes with character!
