Property Description
Bring your vision and capitalize on the potential! This approximately 1,900 sq. ft. 3 BR 1 bath property offers an exceptional opportunity for investors, builders, and rehab buyers looking for a project in a highly desirable Hopewell Valley location. The home requires a complete renovation, but a major step has already been completed: the framing is in place, providing a head start for the next owner to bring the property to its full potential. The planned layout features 3 bedrooms, with the potential to create a 4th bedroom, 1 bath, an eat-in kitchen, and a large living room. A detached garage adds additional value and flexibility. The location is a major highlight because it backs to Washington Crossing State Park, offering a beautiful natural setting and easy access to outdoor recreation. It is also conveniently located near the charming and highly sought-after destination towns of Lambertville, NJ, and New Hope, PA, known for their restaurants, shops, galleries, entertainment, and tourism. For commuters and investors alike, access to major transportation routes is convenient, with I-295 nearby and Mercer Trenton Airport within easy reach. The property is also located within the Hopewell Valley school district. Excellent opportunity to create significant value through a new renovation.
