This rare Mill Hill townhome offers a front-row seat overlooking the Assunpink Creek in one of Trenton’s most beloved enclaves. Behind its classic brick exterior, this three-level home unfolds with architectural grace. On the ground level, an up-to-date kitchen anchors the home with granite-topped island seating, a bow window framing the water’s edge, and a Dutch door that opens to a private patio with water views. A cozy guest room with a fireplace, laundry nook, bath, and mudroom complete this floor. Upstairs, the main level entertains with ease with a large living room showcasing soaring ceilings, hardwoods, and custom built-ins and an adjacent dining room opening through twin sets of French doors to a sprawling deck perched above the creek. The top floor includes the primary bedroom with its own fireplace for winter nesting, while a second bedroom, bright and generous, offers flexibility for guests or creative pursuits. A two-room bathroom sits between with a skylight above, infusing it with sunlight. Often compared to Georgetown for its historic allure and urban sophistication, Mill Hill is lined with 19th-century row houses, many restored, and is home to garden tours, concerts, and an annual holiday house tour with an active civic group championing community engagement throughout the year. The Trenton Transit Center with service to NYC and Philly is less than a half a mile away.
