The main living area is bathed in natural light, thanks in part to a large walk-in bay window in the living room, complete with built-in bookcases for your literary collection. The dining room has yet another expansive bay window, this one with a long bench seat under another expansive bay window and a built-in breakfront for displaying cherished items or serving pieces. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, equipped with granite counter tops, a full suite of Samsung stainless steel appliances, and pristine white cabinetry. A butler’s pantry and a conveniently located updated powder room enhance the practicality of this space. Upstairs, the living quarters include a primary suite and four additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath.

Recent updates also include two new air conditioning units and a new roof, ensuring comfort and peace of mind. This property is ideally located near Cadwalader Park and Arthur J. Holland Middle School. While it captures the essence of historical elegance, it remains a canvas ready for your personal touch to create a home that truly feels like your own. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Trenton's history at 940 Berkeley Ave, where historic charm meets modern living.
