Paradise Found! Just imagine relaxing on the deck or a lawn chair after a hard day's work to this charming home where you can simply relax on the newly renovated deck or in a lawn chair creekside enjoying the incredible wildlife of heron, ducks and ducklings, egrets or get in a canoe and fish--you will find there are bass and carp along with sunnies! Wow, this setting is soooooo serene! Rarely do these historic homes come on the market and even rarer in this condition, this prime location and on such a beautiful home site! Situated on 2.149 acres of lush grounds overlooking the Rancocas Creek, this home allows you to step back in time to a rural setting yet you are a stone's throw away from Route 70 and Medford Shopping centers. First built in 1766 (over 250 years ago)and then expanded in 1899 by John Mickle, this incredibly charming historic home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths,a detached pole barn/2 car garage/workshop with water and electric! As you step into the foyer, you will note there are original wide plank floors in the foyer, dining room & kitchen. There are 3 fireplaces(dining room, Kitchen & 2nd floorbedroom) these add such ambiance. To the left of the foyer is the dining room and there is a passage door to the lovely kitchen (a full appliance package is included). To the right of the foyer, there is a living room and family room (cherry floors under the carpeting), kitchenette and a side porch - this first floor space which can be PERFECT as an in-law or teen suite as it is complete with kitchen, full bath and separate entrance. Ascend to the 2nd floor where there are four additional bedrooms along with a full bath. Ascend to the third level where there is the possibility of a master bedroom suite with a full Bath or a really neat game room. Walls & trim on the third floor were constructed using the wood from a barn that was once on the property. Note as you ascend the stairs, John Mickle signed that this part of the home was built in 1899! The laundry is in the basement. This incredible home features 3 zone oil hot water baseboard heat (the tank is above ground), Mitsubishi Air Conditioning with four heads is 4 years new and efficiently cools this home in the hot summer months, NEW ROOF, 4 zone sprinkler system, newer thermopane windows throughout, front and rear staircase, abundant exterior lighting, pole barn, well water and Public sewer. Amazingly, this home has had only 5 owners in over 250 years-you could be the 6th but hurry this is such a rare opportunity and this home is priced to sell quickly! It is a joy to market and show this beautiful historic home! Buy a piece of history!If only the walls could talk...such wonderful stories they would tell! Homes of this caliber, on home sites of this size (over 2 acres), in this condition, with such old world charm, with these updates (newer thermopane windows, A/C, etc.) rarely come on the market! Put this on your list to tour - it is truly EXCEPTIONAL!
