This three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch with two-stall horse barn offers the best of both worlds: A convenient location near shopping and popular commuter routes, and a peaceful five-acre setting that backs to woods and farmland. Expanded and updated inside and out, the c. 1950 home boasts a semi-open floor plan. Entering through the front door, step into a combined living and dining room with gleaming wood floors and large picture window. The kitchen, to the left, has a center island, L-shaped counter, built-in banquette seating with storage, and egress to the side deck. The garden room, directly across from the front door, is flooded with light from the southern exposure, and showcases a sweeping view of the backyard, barn and stamped concrete patio just outside the door. To the right of the entry, two bedrooms share an updated hall bath with pedestal sink, tile shower and floor; one of the rooms faces the front yard, features a ventless gas fireplace with stone surround, and could also be used as a den, family room or office. The new master suite, situated at the back of the home, feels very private and has a luxurious feel to it with wall-to-wall carpeting, his and her walk-in closets with custom shelving, a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and fan, triple French doors to the backyard, and a spacious sky-lit bathroom with deep jetted soaking tub, shower with seamless glass door and built-in bench seating, and vanity topped with cultured marble. Among the many perks this home offers, perhaps this is the best: You'll need never worry about storm outages again, since the home is connected to a whole-house generator that starts automatically. The septic system is new, the barn has electricity (with water available), and there's a shed and fenced-in dog run. Storage isn't an issue either, with an attic with pull-down stairs and a very large basement with two distinct sections, plus crawl spaces for extra storage. The basement is equipped with two sump pumps with battery backup, and offers three points of entry, two from inside the home and a Bilco door to the backyard. The exterior is freshened up as well, with new siding and stone face. Located in Hopewell Township with a Pennington address, this is a house you'll want to call home. PLEASE NOTE: the seller installed a closet and changed the living room into a 3rd bedroom. You can easily remove the closet and change it back.
