About this home
Unbelievably gorgeous, one-of-a-kind custom colonial situated on almost a full acre of land in desirable Pitman, NJ! This sprawling estate offers fabulous curb appeal with its enormous front porch, premium vinyl siding, brand-new storm door, and vinyl tilt-in windows. The roof is only 5 years young with premium GAF Timberline shingles. A paved walkway welcomes you to this exceptional home.
Step inside to beautiful hardwood oak flooring throughout the main level. The welcoming foyer features a coat closet. The spacious living room/dining room combo boasts two ceiling fans, a charming bay window, two corner cabinets, and dimmable lighting. The eat-in kitchen is a cook’s dream with a gas stove (including griddle), built-in microwave, dishwasher, double sink, garbage disposal, 42-inch solid wood cabinets with pullouts, under-cabinet lighting, and recessed LED lights. There’s a convenient breakfast nook and a full bath just off the kitchen with chair rail and oak trim.
French pocket doors open to the sunken family room, featuring carpet, a ceiling fan, triple windows, and elegant crown molding.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is truly impressive with vaulted ceilings, two ceiling fans, triple windows, recessed and LED lighting, and a large walk-in closet with shelving and storage that stays. The en-suite main bath includes a shower stall, tub, recessed lighting, and new waterproof laminate plank flooring. A gas line is prepped in the main bedroom for a future fireplace, with electrical already set for dimmable candles.
The second floor also includes a full bath with waterproof laminate flooring, three additional generously sized bedrooms (each with laminate flooring and ceiling fans), a hallway laundry area, and a pulldown attic with a recently installed vent and fan.
The basement has been freshly painted with a block foundation and features two separate areas. The first section is a standard area that includes the mechanicals. The second part is sunken with extra high ceilings (currently used as a gym), along with one other room that has a built-in workshop and storage shelving that stays. A freezer remains with the home. Mechanicals include a 4-year-old gas heater, 10-year-old hot water heater, 200-amp service, and 5-year-old central air. An abandoned oil tank is also present.
Outside, enjoy the 16x28 screened-in back porch with two ceiling fans and a changing room, perfect for convenience near the high-end above-ground saltwater pool. The custom deck offers a covered area with built-in bar and gas grill, plus ample space for sunbathing or relaxing. A patio with fire pit below provides wonderful 3-season enjoyment.
Additional highlights include a massive 24x35 detached garage/pole barn with a 16x12 insulated overhead door and side entry, plus a 12x16 storage shed. The asphalt driveway provides multiple parking spaces (or room for basketball). The expansive, open backyard completes this rare Pitman property on almost a full acre.
Pitman is a charming, tight-knit community known for its small-town feel and big personality. Enjoy the historic Broadway Theatre (est. 1926), fantastic local restaurants and shopping in the Uptown area, annual parades, Friday night football, and excellent schools enthusiastically supported by residents. The owners have true pride of ownership. Their hearts desire is to sell this home to someone who loves it as much as they have….. surely you will want to make this house your home!...
