Imagine a time when horse drawn carriages would carry your guests from miles around and you would entertain with tea in the front parlor, while the youngsters explored the natural setting and acres of land. Those are the kinds of images evoked when you pull up the wrap around drive of this historic Colonial, circa the late 1800's, that is situated on 7 fine rural acres in South Jersey. The true character of this estate shines through in the authentic period features: original red Pine hardwood flooring, etched and leaded glass doors with antique pulls and solid limestone foundation. In such a home, it would be common to find a wood-stove in the kitchen, and that is exactly what you have here! Grab you guests for a candle-lit dinner in the formal dining room. Then move your friends or family into the formal living room with crown molding for coffee and dessert. On a late afternoon, take your favorite book into the front parlor to relax. There is a full bathroom with tile and convenient laundry/mud room with separate entry. All this living space nestled between front and back porches, where you can enjoy scenic views of the property. Upstairs, the bedrooms are good in size and there is even an additional room that would be great as a dressing room or nursery. The half bathroom on this level was recently remodeled. A walk-up attic and full basement allow for plenty of storage. Outside you will find 4 out buildings including a 3-vehicle carport with separate storage area, large barn with garage door opener, tool shed and workshop. This is an ideal set up for any hobbyist, from cars to woodworking (or whatever your favorite craft is!), or if you are interested in having farm animals. Just passed the barn, enter into a clearing that leads to the rest of your wooded acres, perfect for hunting or enjoying all the wildlife. There are even trails to enjoy nature at its very best. The genuine authenticity of this historic property will take your breath away. Take in the charm that this home boasts for years to come. It's best to see these fine details in person, so schedule your tour today! Just minutes from the quaint downtown of Elmer, and major roadways like Route 40 and Route 55.
