Property Hopewell (United-States)

Step back in time with this remarkable Italianate Farmstead, its history tracing to the 18th and 19th centuries. On a sprawling ten-acre plot carved from the original expanse of a 100-acre peach farm, this property embodies a rich tapestry of heritage. Outbuildings dot the landscape, including a quaint wagon house, a rustic hog barn with three stalls, an eight-stall stable, and a picturesque corn crib. Three ample fenced paddocks, updated with new fencing, border a sprawling fenced grazing meadow, providing ample space for the equestrian. Majestic trees, spanning a variety of species, form a lush canopy, adding to the idyllic feel of the grounds. Traces of the past emerge within the foundations of the home. Evidence suggests a tavern license was applied for at the address in the 1700s, with remnants to that regard found in the basement, where a beehive oven and slate floors harken to a bygone era. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home boasts generously proportioned rooms with rich moldings and paneling, lofty ceilings, and long, deep-set windows. Enter through an inviting enclosed porch to find a modern kitchen equipped with a large Thermador range, two sinks, a newer refrigerator, and even a stainless-steel counter dedicated to pastry-making. The spacious dining room, complete with a fireplace and custom doors that conceal it when not in use, can host the most opulent of dinner parties, with a side porch that provides gorgeous sunset views. Two front parlors, including a gracious living room and a music room, offer versatile spaces ripe for customization to suit individual preferences and lifestyle needs. Upstairs, the main suite was renovated to perfection, featuring a luminous bedroom and a versatile dressing room that doubles as a serene workspace. A renovated bathroom with heated marble floors and fixtures from Kohler and Restoration Hardware offers a luxurious retreat. Four additional bedrooms complete the second floor. The allure of this historic homestead is further accentuated by its picturesque location along what was once the Trenton Sussex Turnpike but is now flanked by cul-de-sac neighborhoods that show off grand and elegant estate homes. Curb appeal abounds, with the farmhouse exuding timeless elegance, highlighted by a double-columned front porch and a striking finial peaked roof. Here’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hopewell history and bring your horses too!
