About this home

Rare Pennington property within the Hopewell Valley Regional school system where you can be close to everything yet retreat to your own nature wonderland. This updated ranch sits on two lots totaling 4 acres. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths as well as a bonus room with its own entrance. You can make this your primary suite, a guest area, office, playroom or another living area. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertop, tile backsplash, newer appliances and an oversized sliding door leading out to a large maintenance-free deck. Freshly painted throughout and large windows in every room to view the park like setting and abundant wildlife. The full basement offers many opportunities for additional storage, hobbies, or other rooms with interior and exterior stair access. Outside you'll enjoy a fire pit, a fenced-in-raised bed garden, mature trees, trails for recreation or ATVs as well as numerous other opportunities. The detached barn offers two large entrances as well as stairs leading to storage above. New septic, roof, and electric panel in 2025.
