About this home
Fantastic opportunity in the heart of Hopewell Borough! Welcome to 88 Columbia Avenue—a charming three-bedroom home set on an expansive .40-acre property with the kind of classic wraparound porch that feels right at home in the Borough. Picture quiet mornings with coffee on the porch, watching the neighborhood come to life, or settling in at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the surroundings. With its country-style character, mature landscaping, deep backyard, and detached outbuilding, this is a property that invites you to slow down and enjoy both the house and the space around it.
Step inside to a warm and welcoming main level with engineered wood floors, recessed lighting, decorative moulding, and a comfortable living room centered around a gas fireplace. A large picture window fills the room with natural light while keeping the porch and outdoors in view. The kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinet space, a full pantry, stainless steel appliances, and natural gas cooking, along with the ease of main-level laundry with a stackable front-load washer and dryer. The kitchen flows naturally into the adjoining dining area, where a second door opens directly onto the wraparound porch—an easy transition from dinner inside to an evening outside. Public water, public sewer, and natural gas cooking and heating add to the convenience of Borough living.
Upstairs, three bedrooms create a comfortable and inviting second level, each with its own character and natural light. The full bath features a tub/shower combination, while pull-down stairs provide convenient access to the attic for additional storage. A full unfinished basement provides plenty of additional storage space below.
The outdoor setting is one of the real surprises of 88 Columbia Avenue. The deep .40-acre lot feels remarkably spacious for an in-town property, with mature landscaping, substantial hardscaping, and plenty of room to garden, entertain, play, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Landscaping and a step-zone irrigation system surround the front and side yards, adding to the established feel of the property.
The former detached garage has been converted into an insulated workshop/outbuilding with electric, creating valuable bonus space for an art or hobby studio, fitness area, creative pursuits, or additional storage. Two separate off-street parking areas add everyday convenience.
And then there’s the location. Hopewell Borough is known for its small-town atmosphere, tree-lined residential streets, sidewalks, front porches, and strong sense of community. From Columbia Avenue, you’re close to Hopewell Borough Park and the center of town with its local restaurants, cafés, shops, and Hopewell Fare Market. Spend an afternoon at the park, stop in town for coffee or brunch, browse the local shops, or head out for dinner—all close to home.
With its classic Borough character, inviting wraparound porch, unusually generous property, flexible detached bonus space, off-street parking, and walkable in-town location, 88 Columbia Avenue offers a special opportunity to enjoy the relaxed, small-town lifestyle that makes Hopewell Borough such a wonderful place to call home.
