9 WALKING PURCHASE DR Pennington, NJ 08534

A Classic Grand Colonial on a Quiet Cul-de-Sac in much sought-after Pennington Boro, just blocks away from adorable and energetic downtown with boutiques, restaurants, library and Kunkel Park. This traditionally styled center-hall Colonial on a large lot offers plenty of space in each grandly scaled room. On the lower level, painted wainscot paneling and dentil crown molding add an elegant touch to the formal dining room, foyer and turned stairwell, which begins with a curved banister at the bottom. Sunlight and one of the home's three wood-burning fireplaces warm the formal living room. A sky-lit great room with wet bar at one end and fireplace at the other is the perfect place to relax and entertain. The expansive kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, solid wood cabinets and granite counters offers ample space for dining, storage and prep work. Completing this level, a sky lit playroom or exercise room, a home office/ guest bedroom with nearby full bath, a mudroom entry/laundry room off tucked between the kitchen and the garage and a spacious screened-in porch with Trex deck. The upper level features a loft with sitting area that overlooks the beam-ceilinged great room; a master suite at one end, with custom wood plantation blinds, fireplace, sitting area and a spacious bath with sunken Jacuzzi and separate shower; and a princess suite (perfect for a teen, in-laws or au pair) with private bath at the other end. In between are three nicely sized bedrooms sharing a hall bath. During the warmer months, the fully fenced and gorgeously hardscaped backyard is the place to unwind with two stone patios, a fire pit and a built-in barbecue. Ideally located near popular commuter routes, including Route 1, Interstate 95 and train stations, and a plethora of hiking and biking trails (Baldpate Mountain, Lawrence Hopewell Trail, Rosedale and Washington Crossing parks), this home offers convenient access to shopping and schools, as well as outdoor pursuits. ***Note*** An appeal of the taxes has resulted in a new assessed value of $734,100 (over 100K reduction)!
