Spacious, artist-designed apartment in 1890s chocolate factory. DOG FRIENDLY! | Condo in Hopewell
1 Bedroom Condo in Hopewell
(Newish to VRBO, but I’ve been hosting for three years. Many reviews available online.) Private entrance through garden leads to peaceful patio and 1300-square-foot apartment. Enter through sun-filled study. Tall, glass-paned double doors open to huge living and dining room. From living room, two more sets of French doors lead to a bedroom at one corner and kitchen/laundry room at another. Full bathroom with tub/shower. Furnished entirely in genuine mid-century modern, craftsman, art deco, and art nouveau pieces. No particle board. The furniture is real. The art is real. The host is real, living on the premises and providing any help you need.
The building is a local landmark known as the Chocolate Factory. Built in the 1890s it housed chocolatier Hopewell Dainties in the 1920s. During the Great Depression the WPA repurposed it to make shirts and employ Hopewell’s women. Later the factory made what were delicately termed “personal massage devices”. Hmmm. In the 1980s Seward Johnson, founder of Grounds for Sculpture, used the building for his international school of sculpture. Artists-in-residence beautifully redesigned it as live-work space. Your apartment has aesthetic interest throughout: high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and tall original windows, all refurbished to open easily. Warm in winter. Cool in summer. You will be comfortable.
Excellent WiFi service throughout the apartment. Kitchen has refrigerator, stove, sink, microwave, toaster oven, Nespresso machine, and electric kettle. Also included are copper-clad stainless pans, cooking utensils, antique crystal, linen napkins, vintage silverware, and dishes by Poole Pottery and Seagrove potters. Host provides avocado oil, salt, pepper, coffee, teas, sweeteners, half & half, spring water, and, of course, chocolate. (Please note there is no full-size oven.) Family-size clothes washer, dryer, detergent, and bleach are all within the apartment. Bedroom has top-quality queen-size bed. (Guests often comment on how comfortable it is.) All linens are white and 100% cotton.
Location is near the center of famously friendly Hopewell Borough. The New York Times dubbed Hopewell “Vermont in New Jersey”. The town is ringed by preserved fields, forest, and wetlands, including the Watershed Institute, Sourland Preserve, Sourland Reserve, Lawrence-Hopewell Trail, and the Quarry swimming hole. Walk to restaurants, galleries, boutiques, antique stores, and multiple parks and hiking trails. Princeton, its university, and trains to New York City and Philadelphia are just seven miles away. Lambertville and New Hope are just a ten-mile drive. TCNJ is also ten miles away. Guests enjoy on-site parking for one large vehicle or two small. Street parking directly in front of the building is unlimited except during heavy snowfall. On-site Tesla charging available.
