Pennington, NJ 08534 26 Morningside

Picturesquely set back on .69 acres of lush, park-like grounds, this distinctive three-bedroom, two-bath home makes a memorable first impression. Its handsome faade, expansive green lawn and quiet double cul-de-sac setting create a rare sense of privacy, while its place within an established neighborhood offers connection and community. Step inside and the view takes center stage. Generously sized Andersen windows fill the gracious living room with natural light and frame the sweeping lawn beyond. Hardwood floors continue into the adjoining dining area, creating an effortless flow for entertaining. The virtually staged images reveal the dramatic possibilities: lighter furnishings, a fresh palette and thoughtful styling could transform these connected rooms into a sophisticated, cutting-edge showpiece. A classic butlers door opens to the updated kitchen, where crisp white cabinetry and granite countertops provide a timeless foundation. For an even brighter aesthetic, envision white quartz counters completing the picture-perfect setting. Just beyond, the welcoming family room centers its fireplace between two large windows overlooking the green lawn, creating a comfortable retreat in every season. A private hallway leads to the primary suite, complete with its own bath and peaceful views of the same picturesque grounds. Two additional bedrooms share the hall bath, including one with an exceptionally spacious closet. A convenient planning area and laundry room provide access to the deck and garage, both the laundry room and garage having been freshly painted. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with a bar area and workshop. Even more exciting, an existing staircase leads to an expansive framed upper level ready for sheetrock and completion. Imagine a luxurious primary retreat, additional bedrooms, a home office, a sitting room or a combination designed entirely around your lifestyle. The before-and-after potential is remarkable. Outdoors, the private deck offers an idyllic setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails and effortless entertaining. With nearly seven-tenths of an acre, there may even be room to envision a swimming pool, creating a resort-like oasis surrounded by mature greenery. Perhaps the greatest surprise is the exceptional convenience. Although the home feels peacefully removed, it is just .03 miles from highly regarded Hopewell Valley Central High School and close to McCaffreys Market, popular dining, shopping, Starbucks and downtown Pennington. It is a rare combination: an expansive private setting, a welcoming neighborhood and everyday destinations remarkably close at hand. Additional highlights include an above-ground oil tank and a newer septic system that has seen very limited use. Select images have been virtually staged and are presented for conceptual inspiration.
