New on the market, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome at the Villages of Twin Pines offers a premium location backing to open space, a long list of recent upgrades and improvements, and a new roof and second-story deck courtesy of the Brandon Farms HOA. On the lower level, wood floors and crown moldings add an understated elegance, while natural light from the wall of windows in the two-story family room flood the space with natural light. Custom plantation shutters on all windows throughout give the rooms a polished look. The kitchen offers an abundance of storage space with an l-shaped area of upper and lower cabinets, a near floor-to-ceiling pantry, and a movable center island fashioned from an Anthropology cart and topped with pre-engineered quartzite. A suite of new stainless steel Jenn Air appliances, including a 30-inch professional gas range with convection oven and Wi-Fi, complete the look. Sliders lead into a fenced courtyard with a patio shaded by the deck, plus a space large enough for dining and grilling. The dining room is set slightly apart with an angled half-wall dividing it from the foyer, from which you can also access the attached and insulated two-car garage (the floor was recently coated with polyurethane), the laundry room, a spacious walk-in closet that hugs the staircase, and a powder room with pedestal sink. A turned staircase leads to the second-floor landing overlooking the family room. A peaked ceiling draws the eye upward in the master suite, which features two spacious walk-in closets, a door leading to the deck, and an ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, glass-doored shower, twin sinks atop vanities, and a private toilet. The home’s second bedroom has access to a bath in the hallway, from which you can access pull-down stairs to the attic. Among the recent improvements made by the homeowner are the freshly painted interior, a new air conditioning system, a whole-house surge protector, sheetrock on the garage walls, a new eight-blade ceiling fan, recessed lights and light fixtures, and new hardware in the bathrooms. Location wise, the property is convenient to popular commuter routes and train stations with service to NYC and Philadelphia. Princeton, Hopewell and Lambertville are nearby, as are plentiful parks and walking/biking paths. Stoney Brook Elementary School is a short walk.
