96 W Broad Street

Hopewell, NJ 08525

For lovers of homes with older charm, life doesn't get much better than this elegant Victorian perched proudly on West Broad Street in the heart of Hopewell Borough. Offered for the first time in twenty-five years, this home has a long and lovely lineage. It was built by the Fedder family, who owned one of the longest-running family-owned sawmills in the United States. Their son patented a stopwatch that was sold to Timex. And at one time, the garage served as an upholstery shop where Albert Einstein had the furniture upholstered for his home in Princeton. A harmonious blend of comfort and splendor, it begins with a corner wraparound porch, and a big, fenced garden with a bluestone patio and fire pit, providing the perfect amount of privacy. Inside, every room of this casually elegant home makes a statement: original stained-glass windows; three corner decorative fireplaces all with original mantels (two with original tiles); hardwood oak floors; three sets of bay windows; and original molding and hardware throughout are just some of what you'll find. A fabulous, fully-integrated kitchen will delight the cook with Woodmode cabinetry, Renaissance skylights in the 20-foot ceiling, custom beveled glass panels, a La Cornue stove in French blue, and custom granite counters. A wet bar around the corner has a sink, second fridge, and plenty of extra storage to complement the built-in china cabinet in the dining room. The daylight, walk-out lower level includes a family room, full bathroom, home gym, and the laundry - although there is plumbing on the second floor if moving the laundry there is preferred. On the second floor, find three spacious bedrooms with wood floors and a home office with street views. Straight stairs climb to the windowed attic that only awaits your ideas for finishing. The two-car garage keeps the cars off the street. Preserved with all its original beauty with a renovated kitchen and baths, this home is a standout in every way! Don't miss it!
