Property Description

Come experience the timeless charm and elegance of this stately three-story brick home, built in 1916 and gracefully perched atop a hill in Trenton’s prestigious Cadwalader Heights neighborhood—an area masterfully designed in the 1880s by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, creator of New York’s Central Park. At approximately 4,400 square feet of living space, this grand residence features six bedrooms and four beautifully appointed bathrooms providing the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort for family living and entertaining. From the front steps take note of the finer details: arched doorway with opposing columns and leaded glass windows, large eight-over-eight windows with historic shutters and keystones, arched gabled dormers, original slate roof, and brick quoins on the outer corners, all forming a symmetrical and appealing presentation. Upon entry, you'll find yourself in the grand 23-foot-long foyer. Notice the intricate millwork, wide trim baseboards, and deep crown moldings, which set off a striking staircase. This exceptional woodwork continues through to the dining room with two built-in china cabinets and a window seat, as well as to the living room with its built-ins, mantel, and detailed fireplace surround. The adjoining sunroom with quarry tiled floor, accessible from the living room via two sets of double doors, is airy and bathed in light from three walls of windows and another double door opening to the courtyard. Hardwood floors are notable throughout. The kitchen combines beauty and function, showcasing porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, a new professional-grade six-burner dual-fuel range, a spacious 26+ cu. ft. refrigerator, new high-end dishwasher, and abundant counter space, cabinetry, and drawers. There is also a nine-foot walk-through butler’s pantry with built-ins and an additional refrigerator, adding both charm and convenience. Winding your way back to the foyer, you'll pass the first-floor powder room conveniently tucked under the staircase. Ascend the stairs to see custom leaded windows on the interior library wall where a corner wood-burning fireplace and two walls of built-in bookcases create a warm and inviting retreat. The curved open foyer at the top of the stairs leads to four bedrooms and two full baths. The current owners have transformed one set of Jack-and-Jill bedrooms, connected by a full bath, into a comfortable and spacious primary suite with three closets. On the finished third floor there are two more bedrooms off the center hall, a sizable flex room, and a full bath with soaking tub and heated floor. The full basement contains the laundry, utilities and an outside entrance. This property also comprises a 19-foot enclosed back porch with jalousie windows, new screens, and custom wood shades; a courtyard; and a detached 2 1/2 car brick garage with mechanic’s pit and automatic door openers. Both the house and garage have the same copper-lined interior gutter system and Vermont green slate roofing known for having up to a 175-year life expectancy. The home is situated directly across the street from Trenton's famed nearly-100-acre Cadwalader Park where residents can enjoy picturesque views and easy access to lush green spaces, walking and running paths, a picnic pavilion, boating on the canal, tennis, baseball, and more. This prime location offers a perfect balance of tranquility and neighborhood community, making it an ideal place to call home. Additionally, it is conveniently close to public schools, within 30 minutes to multiple, highly regarded private schools, and less than 10 minutes from train stations to NYC, Philadelphia, and beyond, as well as the Trenton Mercer Airport, and access to major roadways. Don't miss this opportunity to own this piece of history in one of Trenton’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Schedule your private tour today; you won’t be disappointed.
