About This Home

On one of Mill Hill's prettiest tree-lined streets, this beautifully presented freestanding Victorian is the kind of home that reminds you why historic neighborhoods never go out of style. Rich with original character yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, it feels both timeless and refreshingly move-in ready. A welcoming front porch sets the tone before a big bay window in the living room provides beautiful natural light. A full size dining room is around the corner. The renovated kitchen pairs classic style with everyday practicality thanks to stainless steel appliances, a low-maintenance floor, and tile backsplash. Three bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient powder room provide comfortable accommodation for all. Out back, a spacious deck creates a peaceful summer escape and there is plenty of storage in the basement. Life here extends beyond the front door. Charming Mill Hill traces its roots to the late 1600s and played an important role during the American Revolution. Today, beautifully preserved homes line the streets, while annual garden tours, summer Jazz on the Park, galleries, restaurants, and other neighborhood events foster a strong sense of community. Commuters will appreciate being just minutes from the Trenton Transit Center, with direct rail service to New York City and Philadelphia. Whether you're drawn by the architecture, the history, or the neighborhood itself, this is a home that offers authentic character in a truly special setting!
