175 Railroad Ave Monroeville, NJ 08343

Slip away from the noise. Bask in tranquility of this quiet hideaway on Railroad Avenue in Elk Township while being only 5 minutes from Route 55, 7 minutes from Rowan University in Glassboro, and 35 minutes from Center City Philadelphia. Bordered by preserved farmland and woodlands, open your windows and enjoy the gentle springtime breeze, breathtaking sunsets and the sounds of nature that are the best of the Garden State. The sky awakes at sunrise with vibrant color in every direction with the promise of a new day. Imagine the new opportunities packaged with this home--planning your vegetable garden in a spacious sunny yard, enjoying grapes picked fresh from the vine (Concords thrive here), jumping onto the Elephant Swamp Nature Trail for a mountain bike adventure, meeting friends for a game of tennis at the nearby Elk Township Recreation Park, enjoying a wine tasting at one of the local wineries, or taking your dog on a scenic stroll in the woods. At dusk, the western sky is a sight to behold as distant cloudbanks ignite with fiery pallets of color. You will have a front row seat at your kitchen table to some of the most breathtaking sunsets in New Jersey. As the sun’s last rays dip over the horizon, you can enjoy spectacular stars of the northern sky from your own front steps. On crisp winter nights, head inside to enjoy a movie in your living room while the high-efficiency woodstove makes the home so cozy that you may never want to leave. Constructed in the 1920s, this home was expanded and renovated in 2003 with an eye toward maximizing natural light and accentuating the beautiful surrounding scenery. A bank of deep windows fills the first-floor bedroom with sunlight. This room has an attached full bathroom and laundry area for easy access to washer/dryer. Thanks to a full wall of windows in the kitchen, every meal is enriched with beautiful scenery. A full bath is shared by the two second floor bedrooms and a 120 square foot walk-in closet provides ample storage. A large bank of windows in one of the two second floor bedrooms affords an expansive view of the preserved farm and woodlands for miles around. The 680 square foot basement includes a French drain and sump pump. This basement is unfinished but comfortable - a perfect place for a workshop, hobbies, and storage. The porch is a perfect place to grill, and you have direct access to your basement hobbies from an exterior Bilco door that opens out to the back yard. The asphalt driveway provides a perfect place for children to ride bikes, roller skate, or draw chalk art masterpieces. As the day winds down, you can look forward to unwinding in your favorite yard chair where the sound of a breeze, the chorus of the birds, and the cadence of the summertime cicadas can be heard rather than road traffic.
