Charming Ranch with Flexible Living and Storybook Acreage in Hopewell Valley...Welcome to 161 Bull Run Road—an inviting 4 bed/3 bath ranch set on a picturesque 1-acre lot in the heart of the desirable Hopewell Valley School District with In-Law Suite. Built in 1955 with enduring craftsmanship and lovingly maintained, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates—creating a space that’s as functional as it is warm and welcoming. The main level features beautifully preserved white oak hardwood floors and a spacious, flowing layout that includes a light-filled living room, dining room, and a cozy family room with a stone fireplace. The oversized eat-in kitchen is lined with walls of cabinetry, offering abundant storage and space for gathering. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full baths complete the main level, providing comfort and flexibility. The lower level offers an incredibly versatile space: in-law suite, au pair quarters, or private work-from-home needs. With its own private entrance, this level includes a sunlit bedroom with a wall-length closet, a full bath with tub, a large second kitchen, living room with fireplace, den, oversized pantry, dedicated laundry room, and a spacious unfinished area ideal for storage. Extensive closets throughout, including multiple cedar-lined ones, ensure smart organization across both floors. Outdoor living shines with a covered front porch featuring stone flooring and skylights, and a backyard that feels like a retreat. A steel-reinforced bridge crosses a tranquil creek—protected by a sturdy gabion wall—leading to a peaceful picnic area and space for a tire swing. A circular driveway offers easy access and ample parking. Modern updates ensure peace of mind: Roof redone in 2015, a generator transfer switch that powers much of the home during storms, and a comprehensive drainage system beneath the lower level with multiple sump pumps to keep the space reliably dry year-round. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to support comfort, security, and today’s lifestyle demands. Perfectly positioned near I-295 for convenient commuting, and just minutes from Hopewell Crossing and Downtown Pennington, this one-of-a-kind property offers space, flexibility, and enduring value in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
