Property Description
Some homes simply offer a place to live. This one offers a story to become part of. Welcome to 1469 Old Black Horse Pike, an 1841 Colonial farmhouse offering 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, approximately 2,770 square feet of living space and an extraordinary 1.53-acre setting in Blackwood. A long approach, expansive front lawn and classic white faade immediately set this home apart. Step inside and nearly two centuries of character meet bright, updated living spaces designed for the way people live today. Tall windows, distinctive millwork, restored details and multiple gathering spaces give the home personality at every turn. The roof was replaced in 2024. The updated eat-in kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous workspace, a farmhouse sink, custom backsplash and unique barnwood accents. The main level continues with inviting living and dining spaces, a parlor with an electric fireplace, a sun-filled solarium offering an ideal home-office setting, a powder room and first-floor laundry. Two staircases provide access to the upper level, where generously sized bedrooms and full baths offer plenty of flexibility, including ensuite accommodations and additional laundry. Two more bedrooms on the third floor create even more possibilities for guests, work, hobbies or personal space. Outside is where this property becomes especially difficult to duplicate. Approximately 1.53 acres provide a remarkable amount of usable outdoor space, with mature trees, broad lawns, privacy fencing, a dedicated fire-pit patio and multiple areas to entertain, play, garden or simply enjoy the setting. Commuters will appreciate convenient access to Route 42, I-295, the Atlantic City Expressway and the New Jersey Turnpike, creating straightforward connections throughout South Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding employment centers. For those who prefer rail, nearby Lindenwold PATCO provides direct service into Center City Philadelphia, with the train ride from Lindenwold to 15th/16th & Locust averaging approximately 28 minutes. Weekend and travel options extend well beyond the immediate area, with Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, Atlantic City, King of Prussia and Delaware all within reach, along with Philadelphia International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport. Families can also enjoy nearby attractions such as Diggerland USA, while Christiana Mall and Delaware shopping provide another easy day-trip option. So much practicality to a house filled with Character, Historic Charm, and Modern Comfort. One remarkable place to call home
