truly one of a kind. nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end street in hopewell, 2411 james street offers something you simply can′t find anywhere else — the warmth of a neighborhood in the front and complete seclusion in the back. nearly an acre of tree-covered, private grounds that feel like your own personal forest.
this custom four-bedroom, two-bath home is built with a rare level of craftsmanship that is genuinely hard to find. step through the front door into a spacious foyer where beautiful hardwood floors and exposed wood beam ceilings set the tone immediately. the expansive living room and dining room flow together as one generous, open space — anchored by a full stone wall with a fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves, wood beam ceilings, and windows looking out into the woods. the kind of room you walk into and immediately exhale. pocket doors connect the dining room to the kitchen, keeping the home open and airy while giving you the option for separation when you want it. the four-season sunroom sits just beyond — wrapped entirely in windows on every side, drenched in natural light, with unobstructed views of the forest that change with every season. the thoughtful layout of this home makes everyday living feel effortless. a large galley kitchen flows naturally to the dining room and connects through its own pocket door to a private office — ideal for working from home without sacrificing peace. two spacious main-floor bedrooms with built-ins and a full bath make single-level living not just possible but genuinely comfortable. multiple exits from the main floor lead directly to the outdoor living space, and the two-car garage connects straight to the kitchen and laundry.
upstairs, two additional oversized bedrooms and a full bath offer room for a large family, long-term guests, or simply the kind of space that gives everyone room to breathe.
step outside to your own private oasis. the serpentine deck wraps the entire back of the home across multiple levels — each one its own destination. dine al fresco, lounge in the sun, or settle into the hot tub as the trees close in around you and the rest of the world disappears. complete privacy at every turn. a tranquil koi pond nestled into the deck, a fire pit in the yard, and mature gardens bursting with color make this outdoor space feel less like a backyard and more like somewhere you drove a long way to reach. the large detached workshop with electric and a wood-burning stove is a rare find — whether you envision a woodshop, a she-shed, a studio, or simply a place to get away and create, this space has a soul of its own. this is a home that wraps around you. one that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and remember what it feels like to truly be at home. properties like this don′t come along often — and when they do, they don′t last.
