Welcome to a home that captures so much of what people love about Haddonfield. Tucked away on a rare and picturesque lane, this property offers direct, unobstructed views of Hopkins Pond, one of the town’s true natural treasures and part of an 8-mile network of scenic trails and green space.
With only a handful of homes on this unique street, you’ll enjoy a peaceful setting while still being within walking distance of downtown, schools, and the train station. For nature lovers, the outdoors truly begins at your doorstep.
The home has been recently renovated and features an open-concept layout that blends modern living with classic charm. The living room is filled with natural light thanks to a large picture window that frames the pond beautifully. In the colder months, the fireplace creates a cozy setting, while warmer days invite fishing, exploring, and time outside.
The first floor includes a stylish powder room and French doors that lead to a screened-in porch, perfect for relaxing evenings, casual gatherings, or game nights. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms, including an en suite in the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the partially finished basement offers flexible space for a playroom, media room, or teen hangout.
With recent updates to major mechanical systems and the benefit of low taxes, this home is truly move-in ready.
Offered at $799,000

Buyer Tip of the Week
Understand Future Costs Before You Buy
When evaluating a home, it’s important to look beyond the purchase price and monthly payment, especially with older homes or properties that haven’t been recently updated.
As you tour homes, take note of:
- Roof, siding, or exterior condition
- Age and condition of HVAC systems
- Kitchens or bathrooms you may want to update over time
Having a clearer picture of potential future costs can help you make a more informed offer and avoid surprises later.
If you want help thinking through what’s worth prioritizing, let’s talk about your strategy.

Home Tip of the Week
Upgrade Window and Door Seals Before It Gets Chilly
Small gaps around windows and doors can let cold air in and reduce heating efficiency. Early fall is a great time to:
- Check and replace worn weather stripping
- Re-caulk or seal around frames
- Add door sweeps or draft blockers
These updates are relatively low cost and can noticeably improve comfort and energy use.
