this custom-built cape cod reflects years of thoughtful care and enduring craftsmanship. maintained by its original owners, the home exudes warmth and authenticity, with each space feeling solid and established, while at the same time, ready for what comes next. it lives much larger than it looks, with a layout that is both spacious and comfortable. the entry opens into an expansive living room, where hardwood floors and a natural stone fireplace that matches the front façade create a striking focal point. around the corner, the formal dining room looks out onto a deep backyard with a farm-like feel. natural light reinforces the sense of openness in both rooms and in the front-to-back family room, with sliders to a patio. the kitchen has a functional layout with a separate breakfast area and direct access to a trex deck. ample cabinetry, a gas cooktop, a wall oven, tiled backsplash, and generous counter space provide everything needed for daily use, with clear potential to evolve into a more contemporary space with updated finishes and fixtures. the main level includes two bedrooms and a full bath, offering flexibility for a variety of needs. upstairs, two additional bedrooms are very spacious, each with a large walk-in closet, sharing the second full bath. the basement adds substantial storage and utility space, with bilco-style doors providing direct access to the outside. additional features include central air conditioning, multi-zoned gas-fired hot-water baseboard heat, and an oversized attached two-car garage with space for a workbench and storage. laundry is just off the kitchen. this location offers that perfect balance of country living and convenience, surrounded by natural landscapes yet close to lambertville, flemington, and major commuting routes. it is also part of the highly regarded hopewell valley regional school district. move in, refine, and personalize it over time. this home is ready to grow with you
