Property Description
Inside, a series of major renovations completed in 2025 — exceeding $50,000 — elevate the living experience, including seamless new flooring, an energy-efficient dual-zone HVAC system, upgraded 150-amp electric service, and integrated smart home technology designed for effortless control at your fingertips. The kitchen has been tastefully outfitted with premium LG smart appliances, offering both sleek design and high performance. A beautifully refreshed main-level bath adds a touch of contemporary elegance. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with two spacious walk-in closets and a dedicated sitting area ideal for relaxation or quiet moments.
The lower level adds versatility and peace of mind, featuring a newly installed French drain system and recently updated mechanicals, including a sump pump and hot water heater, both under one year old. Outdoors, the fully enclosed yard — enhanced by the extra space of the triple lot — provides an inviting setting for entertaining or unwinding, complemented by a detached storage shed for added functionality. Additional enhancements include a partial roof replacement completed in 2024 and a smart-enabled garage door, further reflecting the home's modern upgrades.
Ideally located just moments from the Hamilton Train Station and I-295, this home is a natural fit for city commuters seeking easy access into Philadelphia and beyond. The location also carries exciting long-term upside: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has announced plans for a 42-acre regional pediatric health center in Hamilton Township, with groundbreaking targeted for 2027 and the initial phase expected to open by 2030 — a major investment poised to benefit the surrounding community for years to come.
With its rare lot size, extensive 2025 renovations, and unmatched commuter access, 227 Princeton Avenue offers both immediate livability and standout long-term investment appeal.
