Discover this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Bordentown City, where modern upgrades blend seamlessly with old-world charm. The current owners have thoughtfully renovated and restored every inch, combining stylish updates with custom carpentry that honors the home’s historical character. Step into the sunlit living room featuring refinished wide plank pumpkin pine floors and neutral paint throughout. Attention to detail is evident, from the custom baseboard heat covers to the black walnut beams and accents on the exposed staircase. Designed for entertaining, the main level flows effortlessly from the cozy sitting room—complete with a gas fireplace, quartzite surrounded, and built-in shelving—to the open dining area and kitchen. The hardwood floors continue here, complementing a chic half bath and adding warmth to the space. The kitchen is a showstopper, outfitted with custom white shaker cabinetry by Cabinets by Amy and Lauren of Bordentown City, gorgeous quartzite countertops, a cast iron farmhouse sink, a tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island with seating for four. From here, step outside to a private deck, lattice pergola, and a stone patio—perfect for warm-weather gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, each equipped with mini splits for both air conditioning and heat comfort. The full bathroom has been updated with a new tub and Bath Fitter surround, and the second-floor laundry adds convenience. Refinished original pumpkin pine floors continue throughout this entire level, preserving the home’s timeless appeal. Outside, the freshly painted exterior is complemented by brand new brick entry steps with a cast iron railing to match the historical design of the home and new storm door. The backyard feels like a secret garden, beautifully landscaped, filled with flowers during Spring, Summer, and Fall and enclosed with a new 6-foot fence and privacy lattice. A private driveway with space for three cars—a rare find in Bordentown City—adds even more value. Centrally located in the heart of Bordentown City just steps from shops, restaurants, and community events, this turnkey home is ready for you to move in and enjoy.
