Description

Don’t miss this spacious and versatile home offering exceptional size and potential! This 1,600 sq. ft. home features three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a large unfinished attic area that could easily expand the home to approximately 1,900 sq. ft. with a fourth bedroom. The property also includes a full basement, detached garage, and is situated on a deep 150-foot lot. As you arrive, you’ll immediately notice the great curb appeal, highlighted by a roof replaced just two years ago (including new sheathing). The covered front porch with two ceiling fans is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a morning coffee or iced tea on warm spring and summer days. Step inside through the enclosed entry with ceramic tile flooring, which opens to a welcoming foyer featuring the original open staircase and crown molding, found throughout much of the home. The spacious living room offers newer laminate flooring, crown molding, built-in cabinetry with mantel, and a thermostat-controlled gas log fireplace—ideal for cozy winter evenings. The formal dining room is truly a standout, measuring 16’ x 16’ and perfect for hosting large gatherings. It features a bay window bump-out, crown molding, and an original built-in corner hutch—a rare find in today’s homes. The adjoining eat-in kitchen includes upgraded raised-panel cabinetry, ample counter space, ceramic tile flooring, and existing stainless-steel appliances. Just off the kitchen is a 7’ x 6’ mudroom with access to the rear yard. The spacious backyard offers a blank slate with endless possibilities. A detached one-car garage (being sold as-is) provides covered parking or storage for lawn equipment and tools. The first floor includes two of the three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary bedroom (16’ x 15’) features a 9’ x 5’ walk-in closet with custom organizer and a bay window bump-out, along with a private full bath offering ceramic tile flooring, double vanity sinks, and a stall shower. The second bedroom is also generously sized. The second first-floor bath currently houses the washer and dryer where the tub was removed; seller will reinstall the tub or provide a credit at closing, buyer’s choice. Upstairs, you’ll find a large 22’ x 16’ third bedroom. Central air does not service this room; however, a newer portable A/C unit is included. Also on this level is a huge unfinished walk-in attic with an attic fan and full-size window, offering incredible potential to add a fourth bedroom or additional living space.
A major bonus is the full basement with walk-out Bilco door to the rear yard. This space includes a perimeter French drain system with sump pump, 200-amp electric service, oil hot water boiler, gas hot water heater, laundry hookups, utility sink, additional refrigerator, pool table, and a newer water line from the home to the street. The home is located just steps from the Blackwood Railroad Walking Trail, perfect for walking, jogging, or taking the dog out. Conveniently close to shopping centers, restaurants, malls, and major roadways including Black Horse Pike, Route 42, the Atlantic City Expressway, and Route 55—placing you approximately 15 minutes from Philadelphia, 30 minutes from Delaware, and 60 minutes from the Jersey Shore.
