1 Kensington Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08618

Property Description

In one of Trenton’s most architecturally admired neighborhoods, this home offers a graceful blend of charm, character, and pride of place. Set among the winding streets and mature trees of Hiltonia, this 1930s Dutch Colonial captures the timeless appeal the neighborhood is known for. A gambrel roof hints at this home’s history, while inside, original hardwood floors and rich millwork tell the rest of the story. The living room opens to a bright sunroom through two sets of French doors, creating a layout that feels both elegant and inviting. The dining room features a built-in corner cupboard, and the kitchen includes a cozy breakfast nook with built-in benches, equally ideal for quick meals or a slow morning. Upstairs, a wide-landing staircase pauses at a wall of bookshelves, creating a small library moment before reaching two upper bedrooms on the second floor. One is served by the hall bathroom, which also conceals the laundry. The other bedroom has its own intimate bath and multiple closets, including a walk-in with a window and a second connection to the hall bath. On the third floor, a generous loft space offers endless possibilities. Whether used as a guest bedroom, home office, reading retreat, or all of the above, it’s a space that adapts on cue. The assessor currently lists 1 Kensington as a 2 bedroom home but the seller is making a request for an inspection/review to correct this designation. Set within easy distance of the Trenton City Museum and near the open green spaces of Cadwalader Park, the location adds another layer of richness to this delight of a home.
