There’s a lot to love about townhouse living when the rooms are this generous, the light is this good, and the garden is entirely your own. In Brandon Farm’s Twin Pines neighborhood, this three-bedroom Laurelwood model has all the space of a traditional home, with a floor plan that makes particularly good use of it. A soaring two-story foyer is the first hint of what’s to come. Beyond it, beautifully maintained rooms unfold with hardwood floors, oversized windows, and an easy connection from one space to the next. The living and family rooms share a double-sided gas fireplace, a wonderful architectural detail that gives both rooms a little extra character. The dining room is comfortably proportioned for a full-size table, with none of the compromises sometimes associated with townhouse living. The white kitchen has a clean, timeless look, with granite countertops, subway tile, and an entire wall devoted to pantry storage. A sunny breakfast room sits alongside it, while the family room opens through glass doors to a fenced patio and garden. It’s a lovely little piece of outdoors, private enough to enjoy a quiet afternoon without feeling obliged to entertain the neighbors. A powder room and access to the two-car garage complete the first floor. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue into all three bedrooms. The primary suite comes with a cathedral ceiling that adds to its already generous proportions, a walk-in closet, a second double closet, and a bathroom with a whirlpool tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and second-floor laundry make excellent use of the remaining space. The Twin Pines swimming pool is just around the corner, and Pennington’s shops, restaurants, and community events are all close by. Stony Brook Elementary School and the wider Hopewell Valley Regional School District serve the area while trains to both New York and Philadelphia are within easy reach.
