20 E Welling Ave

A meticulously restored and maintained 3-story Craftsman-style home built in 1925, with cherry woodwork, 8-over-1 windows, solid cherry wood doors with glass doorknobs, hardwood floors and a full studio apartment, is now available on a broad tree-lined road in Pennington. The attention to detail inside and out must be seen to be believed. From the brick paver walkway, step onto a mahogany porch that spans the width of the home and is deep enough for two seating areas with table and chairs. Scarlet trumpet vine and blue hydrangea provide pops of summertime color. A French door with sidelights opens into a spacious foyer. Extra-wide doorways lead into the dining room on the left and the living room on the right, where a wood-burning fireplace stands at the ready for cozy winter evenings. At the back of the home, a den with checkered floor looks out on landscaped backyard and small koi pond; nearby, an eat-in kitchen with granite-topped island shares space with a family room. Abundant cherry cabinets, granite countertops and a spacious pantry provide all the prep and storage space you need, with stainless steel appliances rounding out the space. A powder room with pedestal sink is conveniently near all the first-floor rooms. On the second floor, a spacious laundry room with cabinets (upper and lower) and utility sink is easily accessed by all of the bedrooms. The master suite enjoys the privacy of a spa bath with sunken soaking tub and glass-walled shower with a built-in bench. French doors open to a balcony that spans that back of the home. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath with a charming vintage flair to it. The renovated attic space, currently in use as an office but also suitable for a playroom or bedroom, has a full bath with clawfoot tub, twin skylights and plenty of closet space. A 750 square foot, fully equipped studio apartment with kitchen, washer and dryer, and full bath is above the detached 2-car garage, offering income potential or private dwelling for au pair, college student, home office or yoga studio. Completing the garage is a workspace at the back, and an attached shed at the side with access from inside and out. Location wise, the home is within strolling distance of Pennington’s quaint downtown and Tollgate Grammar School. It also offers an easy commute to Lambertville, Hopewell and Princeton, as well as quick access to major commuter routes and train stations with service to Philadelphia and New York City.
