    Welcome to 72 Poor Farm Road, a beautifully restored circa-1894 farmhouse set on a picturesque one-acre lot in the heart of Hopewell Township. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 2,861 square feet of inviting living space, just minutes from Pennington Borough and located within the highly regarded Hopewell Valley School District. From the moment you arrive, the home’s charm is undeniable. Inside, authentic white pine flooring, sun-filled windows, and preserved architectural details reflect its historic roots, while an open and airy layout creates a seamless flow for modern living. The heart of the home is the updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, all thoughtfully designed for both everyday use and entertaining. The kitchen opens effortlessly into a bright sunroom and out onto an expansive deck, offering the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor living. The main living areas are warm and welcoming, ideal for both quiet evenings and gatherings with family and friends. A pellet stove adds a cozy focal point, enhancing the home’s charm and comfort throughout the seasons. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and access to a beautifully renovated spa-like bathroom. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, home office space, or growing households, while an updated hall bath and convenient laundry area add to the home’s functionality. Outside and experience a true private oasis. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped and offer a peaceful, natural setting with a koi pond, fire pit area, and scenic views perfect for enjoying both sunrise and sunset. The expansive deck invites outdoor dining and entertaining, while the surrounding greenery provides a sense of privacy and tranquility rarely found. A converted barn with attached carport offers additional versatility for storage, hobbies, or creative use, complemented by a two-car garage and additional outbuildings. Significant system upgrades—including the roof, septic system, siding, windows, HVAC, and deck (all approximately 2016)—provide peace of mind and enhance the home’s overall efficiency and value. Situated along one of Hopewell’s most scenic roads, this property offers the ideal balance of rural charm and everyday convenience, with close proximity to Pennington, Princeton, Route 31, and I-295. Whether you are drawn to its historic character, modern updates, or serene setting, 72 Poor Farm Road presents a rare opportunity to own a truly special home.
