Franklinville, NJ 08322

Nestled in the peaceful landscapes of Franklinville, this custom-built sanctuary is unlike any other. Designed with comfort, character, and craftsmanship in mind, this home is a true labor of love—crafted from the ground up with intentional details and timeless charm. Before construction even began, the homeowner hand-cleared nearly 90 trees, transforming this land into the tranquil retreat it is today. Set on a serene, private lot, this property offers a rare sense of seclusion, where nature and wildlife surround you, creating a space that feels miles away from the world, yet conveniently located. At the heart of it all stands a grand, one-of-a-kind fireplace—more than just a statement piece, this master mason-designed work of art was built to not only warm the home but to cook in, adding old-world charm and a truly unique experience. The thoughtful design continues throughout, with widened doorways for an open and airy feel, and a heightened basement ceiling, making the lower level full of potential for finishing into additional living space, a workshop, or a home office. This home is full of possibilities and its story is not yet finished. The original blueprints, still in the owner's possession, reveal a vision that included a wraparound porch and a garage—features waiting for the right owner to bring to life. Whether you choose to honor this vision or make it your own, this home is ready for its next chapter. Come experience the peace, charm, and unmatched potential of this extraordinary home. Could you be the one to complete its story?
