6 EGE AVE Hopewell, NJ 08525

What happens when you take the charm of a 1920’s bungalow-style home and update it with a gorgeous new kitchen that pays homage to that bygone era? You get a home that you simply must see.

Feel immediately welcome the moment you step onto the deep front porch, where a classic porch swing invites relaxation and brings to mind pleasant evenings spent outdoors with a home-brewed iced tea in hand.

At the front of the home, a large room stretches from side to side. Straight ahead on the right, a dining room leads into the kitchen, which was gutted and expertly redone by Baxter Construction of Hopewell.

White cabinets stretch nearly to the ceiling, where they are topped with a simple yet elegant crown molding. White subway tiles and a double farm sink contrast nicely against charcoal soapstone. Underfoot, eco-friendly linoleum flooring in white and pale gray is accented with squares of black. At the back, a window seat frames a view of a nicely sized fenced yard with paver patio for al fresco dining.

Cooks will enjoy the flat-top induction stove top and the full suite of Bosch stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator with freezer drawer flanked by pantry cabinets and a microwave built into the coffee bar. Overhead, vintage-styled pendant and flush-mount lighting from Schoolhouse is the perfect finishing touch.

The adjoining room is currently in use as a playroom/family room with washer and dryer tucked into a closet, but could easily be converted to a first-floor bedroom with a full bath steps away.

Upstairs, two bedrooms share a hall bath; the bedroom currently used as the master is slightly larger and features a cedar-lined storage closet.

Some of the home’s windows are newer but most are one-over-one windows with the original wavy glass still in place, lending a welcome vintage touch. Additionally, polished wood floors and neutral wall colors throughout mean that the home is ready for your personal stamp.

A French drain keeps dry the unfinished basement, which houses a reverse osmosis water filtration system and water softener. A Bilco door provides ease of access to the side yard.

Location is key with this home. Nestled on a quiet side street, the new homeowners will enjoy easy strolling access to Hopewell Boroughs’ quaint downtown filled with unique shops, eateries, an art gallery and a children’s book shop, while commuters will be pleased with the convenient access to 31 and 95., 10 minutes to Princeton and convenient to local hiking trails, playgrounds and grammar school.
