About This Home
Discover a rare opportunity to own an original 1946 log cabin in the heart of Medford Lakes, beautifully updated while preserving its authentic charm. Set on a rare two and half lot, this 4-bedroom, 1 full and 2 half bath home offers approximately 1,600 sq ft of character-rich living space, just a short walk to the lakes, beaches, and clubhouse. The renovated kitchen blends history and function with original cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and brick flooring that continues through the back hallway and powder/laundry room. A sealed gas stove sits in the original fireplace opening, creating cozy ambiance in the lodge room. A wall of custom-made French doors opens to the den, featuring a stunning wall of windows and natural light throughout. Enjoy year-round comfort with central air conditioning, gas heat, and a humidifier. The home also features new insulated E-glass windows, six new skylights, a newer well pump, water softener with iron buster, and a new sewer line from house to street. Outdoors, the property impresses with professional landscaping, an antique metal fence, sprinkler system, sod, and a large driveway for ample off-street parking. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence or a weekend getaway, this original log cabin offers timeless appeal and modern convenience in one of South Jersey’s most desirable lake communities.
