Presenting a true Mill Hill treasure! While tidy townhouses along red brick sidewalks are the norm throughout the history-steeped pocket neighborhood that is Trentons pride and joy, this well-maintained and wonderfully preserved 1857 residence is one of just a handful of free-standing homes. The Italianate frame house feels special from the start with an ornately bracketed entry opening to original wide plank floors, ceiling medallions and a beautifully preserved cherry handrail anchored by a turned newel post guarding stairs to the second floor. Decorative mantels and a warm working insert are focal points of the living, dining and family rooms. The stainless-equipped kitchen is large and sunny with a granite-topped island and charming built-in hutch beneath a broad skylight. A Williamsburg-inspired formal garden designed by Garden Makers Landscapers and a covered side porch invite a calm interlude after a busy day, as well as being captivating spots to host friends in the open air. Upstairs, the biggest and brightest of 3 sizable bedrooms is just a step away from the larger of 2 full baths, making it the natural choice for an owners retreat. Surpassing all expectations, the basement boasts a long speakeasy-style bar stretching toward the stone fireplace of a game room. Its the coolest hangout around, even though local dining options are plentiful and the trains of Trentons Transit Hub, mere steps away, can whisk you off to Philly or NYC. Annual Mill Hill home and garden tours are popular events that let proud homeowners - artisans, intellectuals, professionals and political leaders - showcase the vibrant enclave they happily call home.
