55 elm st

Tucked on a quiet side street in historic Lambertville, this meticulously maintained half-duplex greets you with timeless grace, a deep backyard, and off-street parking. Steps from the towpath, restaurants, and shops, the home is a turn-key invitation to savor a vibrant riverside community where history and everyday life entwine. A handsome front door with transom opens to sunlit rooms and pumpkin pine floors. The living room, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, flows to a formal dining room with a elegant bay and a glass-paned door to a side porch with retractable awning and alley access. An arched opening reveals a gorgeous kitchen renovation with exposed brick, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an expansive center island with breakfast bar. Custom cabinetry extends into a flexible breakfast nook, den, or office with a lovely powder room. Glass doors create an effortless transition to the enchanting backyard, where a slate patio sits under the canopy of Japanese maples, and a stone path lined with perennial beds leads to a potting shed and off-street parking. Upstairs, two sun-filled bedrooms share an updated full bath with laundry. A third-floor bedroom, with skylights and custom built-ins, offers a quiet nook for reading or creative work. Dry basement, newer systems including zoned heat & AC. Spend weekends exploring Lambertville and New Hope, biking the D&R Canal towpath, or unwinding in the tranquil backyard of this refined and lovingly preserved home.
