With its inviting wraparound porch, mature landscaping, deep backyard, and versatile detached outbuilding, this property offers an appealing combination of indoor and outdoor living. Inside, the comfortable living spaces feature engineered wood flooring, recessed lighting, and decorative moulding.

Mature landscaping, established hardscaping, and an irrigation system for the front and side yards enhance the setting. The detached former garage, converted into an insulated workshop with electricity, provides valuable bonus space for hobbies, creative pursuits, or storage. Two separate off-street parking areas add further convenience. For buyers with an eye toward the future, the generous lot also invites exploration of potential improvements or expansion, subject to independent buyer verification of zoning requirements, permitted uses, and municipal approvals. The location completes the picture! Situated within the Hopewell Valley Regional School District and within walking distance of Hopewell Elementary School, 88 Columbia Avenue offers the charm and convenience of Borough living. Enjoy tree-lined streets and neighborhood sidewalks, with Hopewell Borough Park, local cafés, restaurants, shops, and Hopewell Fare Market all nearby.
