Property Description

Presenting the Painted Lady on Grand. Built towards the end of the 19th century, this lovingly maintained home has been lived in by the same family for nearly 40 years. As you walk around this corner property take note of the period details highlighted by the recently painted exterior. Step onto the expansive front porch which wraps around to the side of the house, just the place to enjoy a beverage and read a book. Enter through the front door into the welcoming foyer which hints at what you will see as you tour the rest of the home. Note the natural wood finishes, hardwood floors, and the stained-glass windows casting light on the curved stairway to the second floor. To your left is the formal living room with beautifully detailed original mantel/hearth and bay windows. Continue straight through the foyer and you will find a nice sized sitting room with bay windows and window seating, another distinguished fireplace with original mantel and a gas fired insert, perfect for winding down on a chilly evening. Next is the formal dining room with built in China closet and swinging door to the butler's pantry and kitchen. The original cupboards in the eat-in kitchen have tastefully updated counter tops and provide plenty of storage. Off the kitchen is the laundry and powder room, tucked just inside the back door. Entry to the basement and the back stairs to the second floor are also off the kitchen. Take the main stairs up to the landing on the second floor, with its many possibilities. Four bedrooms, two with private baths, and a third full bath complete this floor. The third floor is like a private oasis providing two more finished rooms currently set up as bedrooms but use your imagination to see how the space might best work for you; an office, studio or craft room. The additional unfinished attic area provides room for storage or could be converted to additional living space or an additional bathroom. The large ornate windows throughout the home provide loads of natural lighting. Around back is the detached garage with driveway offering additional parking and a private fenced yard with mature plantings and garden shed/playhouse. Conveniently located within a short distance to major roadways, the West Trenton Airport, and the train lines to Philadelphia and New York. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping choices nearby as well. This home is a must see, too many architectural features to list. Schedule your tour today. The chair lift on the main stairway is included, but seller will have it removed if buyer does not want it.
