About This Home
As of October 2025Charming Colonial Southern Style Home loaded with character galore located in a very private cul-de-sac neighborhood. Featuring 6 Bedrooms and an office, 2 Full Bathrooms and 3 Half Baths (1/2 Baths are located in the Detached Garage by the In-Ground Pool, the Basement and the First Floor) with approximately 4800 square feet of living space. The Master Bedroom has an office that leads to a Balcony that overlooks the pool, a Grand Walk-In Closet measuring 10 x 19, a sitting area and Bathroom Ensuite with a Double Shower stall with 3 heads. This breathtaking lot location sits on an elevated hill overlooking Bridgeton Park and is walking distance to the Cohanzick Zoo (The First Zoo in New Jersey), Bridgeton Splash Water Park, Chief Mahoppany Walking Trail and Sunset Lake. If you want to take a stroll to see the Tigers in this Free Access Zoo (New Jerseys First Zoo) you can just walk to your back yard to your private descending landscape stairway that leads directly to the entrance of the Zoo, the Park, the Lake, the Splash Park and walking trail. It's the ONLY home that has that direct foot access. The Heated Salt Water In-Ground Pool with fountains is a perfect place to entertain Family and Friends for that Summer Outdoor Barbeque. There is a large Fully Screened-In Porch that measures approximately 27 x 12 feet and is equipped with Two Ceiling Fans and there is also an added Four-Season Sunroom (Approximately 10x20) with travertine flooring and a Pine Wood Ceiling and double doors that lead to the pool deck area. You will not see a house with this type of Charm and at this price in all of Southern New Jersey. The home location is an easy commute to Pennsylvania and Delaware.
