UPDATE! Hopewell Township has inspected and approved for sale just-completed septic-system upgrades, and 2019 property taxes are a low $15,477. Nestled among upscale homes surrounding Honey Lake in Elm Ridge Park, this bargain beauty has it all four bedrooms and three full baths packaged in a charming English cottage on a 1.48-acre lot with a babbling brook. A two-story cathedral entrance and three stone fireplaces catch the eye, while an unfinished second-floor bonus room and full basement inspire the imagination. A cedar-shake roof with copper flashing crowns the half-timbered exterior, while the interior boasts a large eat-in kitchen, gracious living room, formal dining room, second-floor studio, and a large, attached two-car garage. Sellers have recently spent $50,000 on the exterior of the house, replacing all half timbers and power washing and staining the siding. To give buyers the flexibility to upgrade the interior appointments to their taste, sellers have priced the house well below market value. The property is in the sought-after Hopewell Valley Regional School District and is convenient to Princeton, I 95, Routes 1 and 206, rail transit to NYC and Philly, airports, Capital Health, Merrill Lynch, ETS, parks and trails.
