123 W Broad St, Hopewell, NJ 08525

Who HASN'T wanted to live here? This quintessential farmhouse set on 1.38 acres within the borough boundaries has been admired by so many fellow townspeople through the years. There is a wonderful feeling of privacy due to the large setback from the street with the extra large side yard and the overall size of the property as well as its location within town overlooking the pastoral farmland beyond its borders. Spend summer nights unwinding on the back porch overlooking the garden and winter nights unwinding in the living room with a fire in the wood stove. In spring enjoy working in the garden with the raised flower beds which the owners have lovingly nurtured for over 30 years and then store all your tools and supplies in the inside shed, and afterwards dine under the covered outdoor shed on warm evenings. These owners loved hosting celebrations on the front lawn to watch the Memorial Day parade followed by a barbecue around back while their kids and friends played elaborate games around the property and in June the gardens and side lawn were the go-to place for prom photos for many high schoolers in town. Winter season they would decorate for the holidays and host many gatherings of extended family and friends including their popular new year's eve bash! The farmhouse offers the preservation of architectural features including the double hung windows, wood molding, wood floors and a back staircase that give a sense of the history of the place. And a big highlight of the property is the two story barn with 1640 square feet which over the years has been a “clubhouse” for the kids, a music studio, an acting studio, an art studio, and extra storage. There is so much that makes this property special. Mornings choose to sit on your front porch, sipping your coffee and feeling a part of town while waving to friends as they stroll by and in the evening, lounge with your choice of beverage on the back porch and enjoy the peace and quiet of your private "country" home. The owners are so sad to leave, but they recognize it is time for some lucky new owners to continue the stewardship of this amazing and unique in-town yet out-of-town property.
