Description

Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial nestled on 6.62 private acres in Franklin Township. Built in 2004 and thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this 2,868 sq ft home (not including the finished basement!) blends modern design with the space and lifestyle that South Jersey acreage living is all about.

From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal sets the tone — fresh landscaping, a covered wraparound front porch with wood post columns, and a bold gray exterior with black trim give this home a farmhouse-modern edge that’s hard to miss. Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by soaring ceiling heights, freshly painted interiors throughout, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main level.

Enter into a spacious sitting room with amazing ceiling height and wonderful natural light. It flows effortlessly into the formal dining room — which is open and airy with abundant natural light and an easy flow into the main living areas, ideal for entertaining. The heart of the home is the second living space or family room — featuring a full-wall custom shiplap entertainment surround with a built-in electric fireplace — a true conversation piece and the kind of detail you just don’t find in every home. This detail adds a designer touch that carries through to the primary suite upstairs.

The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a large center island with dark granite countertops, white raised-panel cabinetry with crown molding, subway tile backsplash, and a sleek stainless chimney range hood as the focal point. Stainless steel appliances include a gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. A sliding glass door off the kitchen leads directly to the rear deck — making outdoor entertaining effortless. Additional bedrooms are generously sized with great closet space. Main floor laundry and a half bath round out the first level.

Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true retreat — spacious enough for a king bed with room to spare, a walk-in closet with dual hanging rods, and a fully renovated en suite bath featuring a double vanity with marble-look countertops, frameless sliding glass shower with subway tile surround, large format tile floors, and a relaxing jacuzzi soaking tub.

The fully finished basement adds substantial bonus living space with new LVP flooring, painted walls, and recessed lighting — perfect for a home gym, rec room, playroom, or home office. Direct exterior access leads to the rear yard.

Out back, a large deck overlooks expansive open acreage with a wooded backdrop — perfect for entertaining, storing equipment, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that 6+ acres in Franklin Township provides. The property boasts 560 feet of street frontage and an impressive 5,000 sq ft of newly finished blacktop — complete with a second driveway access point — offering endless potential for additional parking, a commercial lot (with approval), equipment storage, or staging for the pole barn to come. The zoning here allows for a pole barn up to 3,000 sq ft, and the sellers have already done the legwork — a deposit is down and plans are drawn for a 30x40x14 (1,200 sq ft) pole barn, fully transferable to the new owners at closing. Use the existing plans or go bigger — the groundwork is already laid.

Attached garage, paved driveway, new septic disposal field installed 2020, Delsea Regional school district. Space, style, and serious upside — this one checks every box.
