Street View

Completely reimagined from top to bottom, this Old Elm Ridge Park Cape delivers a striking modern feel while still holding onto its warmth and personality. From the moment you arrive, the expansive new front porch and refreshed landscaping make a bold first impression, hinting at the level of detail and transformation found throughout the home. The kitchen has been renovated with a clean, tailored design. Soapstone counters, top-tier built-in appliances, a coffee bar with a beverage fridge, and a handcrafted peninsula make it a real showstopper. A custom pantry adds smart storage, while new lighting throughout the home highlights each space with care. Everyday living is easier with a newly built mudroom featuring heated floors, cubbies, and a sink, along with a nearby half bath. The laundry area has been relocated just outside the bedrooms and now features brand-new machines. The main level includes a private primary suite with generous closets and a 2025 bathroom with heated floors. Two additional bedrooms share another newly renovated bathroom (2026). Upstairs, you will find two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a dressing alcove. The finished basement adds flexible space for staying active, with room for both entertainment and a gym. Behind the scenes, major upgrades bring peace of mind. The home includes a new roof, windows, siding, upgraded electric service, a natural gas conversion, and a new A/C system with individual room splits for personalized comfort. A full-house generator and hard-wired security cameras add an extra layer of ease. Outside, the pool has been resurfaced and has a new heater. A pool house offers space for changing and relaxing, while landscape lighting on custom timers creates a warm glow in the evenings. The grounds also include a sauna, chicken coop, garden shed, and raised beds for growing your own herbs and vegetables. A new driveway and Andersen A-Series windows complete the long list of improvements. All of this comes together in a home that feels complete, cared for, and ready for what comes next, with easy access to Princeton, Pennington, Hopewell, and key commuting routes.
