This home's award-winning historic style (Landmarks Comm. for Historic Preservation, 1994) plus functional modern upgrades make it an exceptional move-in-ready property. Built around 1857 in Italianate style, this freestanding clapboard-over-brick house has a wider footprint than is typical in Mill Hill, providing generous living spaces inside and out. Historic features include wide plank pine floors, decorative mantels, and ceiling medallions. Recent improvements include two sets of hand-built floor-to-ceiling bookcases and an EPA-certified clean-burning fireplace insert. The kitchen has been remodeled, using restored vintage cupboards salvaged from area homes and locally milled, up-cycled wood flooring, along with subway tiles and granite countertops. High-quality stainless steel appliances (including a new, pro style, five-burner gas range) and a large island create a cook's kitchen with room for friends, just steps from an expansive garden ? great for entertaining! Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms, one of which could serve as a marvelous study, with terrific morning light and a built-in bookcase. With the addition of a wardrobe (or by reorienting the adjoining bedroom's second large closet), this room could have its own closet. The Master is huge: with a king size bed it still has ample room for other furniture and great light from windows on both sides. An updated vintage tile bathroom is next to the Master; a wide hallway and landing provide privacy between front and rear bedrooms. In the tall finished basement, there is a game room (pool table and vintage lamp included in sale) with a stone fireplace as well as a large bar just waiting for a party. A modern energy-efficient furnace, water heater and stacked laundry are also included. Less than a block from Mill Hill Park and a convenient walk to the Trenton Transit Center?with direct access to New York and Philadelphia?this house has all of Mill Hill's benefits, along with a uniquely beautiful look and feel.
