Property Description
What began as a traditional two-bedroom townhouse has been reinvented into a gracious four-bedroom, 2.5 bath showpiece in historic Mill Hill, expertly reconfigured while preserving the soul of its 19th-century roots. The pumpkin pine floors, the tall ceilings, and period craftsmanship all remain, but are now paired with a layout and style that feels unmistakably modern. The home opens into classic living and dining rooms, both sporting gorgeous woodwork, ceiling medallions, and eye-catching lighting. Move deeper in, and the vibe shifts to a spacious cherry kitchen, a half bath, a laundry room, and a den that spills out onto a private patio. That patio doubles as a rare off-street parking option, a true find in this historic neighborhood. The second floor offers a two-room suite, a full bath, and a generous primary bedroom up front, framed by tree-top views of Mercer Street. The third floor features yet a second option for use as a primary bedroom with an all new bathroom, and the fourth bedroom which could flex as a home office or whatever life demands. Natural light pours through every level through oversized windows, highlighting the blend of old-world charm and crisp, modern updates. The result is a home that feels refined yet effortlessly livable, rooted in history but undeniably current. And with the State Capitol buildings and Trenton Transit Center just blocks away, it's as connected as it is beautiful.
