39 Lafayette Street

Hopewell, NJ 08525

The cutest twin home a block behind Hopewells charming downtown offers two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, gleaming wood floors, and a colorful interior with high-touch accents to appeal to the artist within. From the comfortable front porch deep enough for rocking chairs, step into the combined kitchen and dining room. Honey-toned cabinets and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range with bread proofing setting, play nicely against the travertine marble backsplash accented with sun tiles, and the elegant granite countertops. At the back of the home, the family room is accented with a woodburning fireplace along the back wall, and shelving made of galvanized steel pipes on the facing wall. Sliders lead to the back yard. In between the kitchen and family room, the powder room makes a huge statement with a blood-red glass vessel sink atop the vanity. There are twin coat closets to either side of the half bath. Nearby, the clerestory window at the landing of the turned staircase floods the space with light. Two spacious bedrooms share the upper level and a nicely sized bathroom concealed by a sliding barn door made of reclaimed wood. The extra-wide shower has a built-in bench and two wall cubbies, plus an overhead rain shower head and hand-held nozzle. A granite countertop with Ronbow undermount sink, and a combination toilet/bidet, complete the room. The master bedroom at the front of the home draws the eye upward with a vaulted ceiling. Porthole and arch windows, plus single- and double-hung windows on most of the walls, allow ample natural light. The walls are trimmed with beadboard paneling and chair rail molding. The second bedroom, also spacious, is currently in use as a whimsical nursery for visiting grandchildren, but would also work well as a home office, exercise room, or guest room. The home offers plenty of storage in the attic, with pull-down stairs, and the unfinished basement, which is where you will find the laundry room. Location wise, this home cannot be beat. It is within easy strolling distance of Hopewells charming downtown dotted with eateries, specialty shops, library and historical museum, as well as pocket parks. On a typical morning during the school year, children on scooters and bicycles make their way to the Blue Ribbon elementary school nearby. No HOA fees! Commuters will enjoy the ease of access to Routes 206 and 31, and the short commute times to Princeton, Lawrence and Pennington. New Stainless-Steel chimney liner 2018
