Property Description
Just a one-minute walk from the beach in Lake Pine, one of Medford's premier private lake communities, this cedar-shake ranch home was renovated down to the studs and expanded in 2016, offering over 2,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed one-floor living.
Set on a beautiful corner lot of nearly half an acre, the home makes a timeless first impression. A stone walkway lined with sculpted boxwoods leads to an arched portico with a warm wood-plank ceiling, lantern-lit entry, and rustic wood front door. Copper-tone gutters and rain chains, reclaimed wood shutters, and a stone-faced front porch with room for rocking chairs complete the classic curb appeal.
Inside, wide-plank solid white oak floors flow beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and rooms are flooded with natural light.
The living room centers on a fireplace set against a warm, knotty pine plank wall and opens to the dining room, where grasscloth wall panels create a tailored backdrop. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, with brand-new white oak cabinetry, a professional-style gas range, and custom white quartz countertops. You'll be the very first to prepare a meal here! The space is completed with a shimmering mother-of-pearl and white Thassos marble backsplash, brass light fixtures, and a generous center island made for gathering.
Beyond the kitchen, the family room is a light-filled space for living and entertaining, with a bonus craft area or playroom. A second gas fireplace wrapped in scalloped marble tile, flanked by a pair of cozy benches, invites you to settle in, while a built-in workstation for two offers a stylish home office nook.
The primary suite is a serene retreat with another vaulted ceiling, a modern brass chandelier, a full wall of European-style wardrobes, and doors opening directly to the backyard for your morning coffee. The spa-inspired bath features floor-to-ceiling marble, his and hers showers, a frameless glass enclosure with curbless entry, a double vanity, and herringbone floors.
Three additional bedrooms each have their own personality, including one with a whimsical mural wrapping the walls and another with a window seat flanked by built-in storage. A hall bath with a marble-topped double vanity, a charming powder room with wood wainscoting, and a mudroom/laundry with a bench and quartz folding counter off the attached garage complete the home and make everyday living easy.
The backyard is a true retreat, framed by fencing and lush greenery for privacy. A stone patio with a built-in gas grill sets the stage for outdoor living, and a majestic oak tree offers shade, while a flagstone path winds to a stone fire pit beneath a pergola strung with caf lights. Beyond, a sweeping lawn, rare for a lake community, offers space for volleyball, lawn games, and gatherings of every size.
Established in 1924, Lake Pine offers a mile-long lake for swimming, paddling, fishing, and ice skating, three private beaches, a clubhouse, courts for tennis, basketball, and pickleball, and a year-round calendar of events that earned it the nickname "The Year-Round Vacation Paradise."
Medford isn't just another suburban town. It's a return to a somewhat forgotten way of life, where neighbors gather at the beach, evenings end around the fire pit, and community still comes first. Enjoy exceptional schools, Pinelands trails, and historic Medford Village's shops, breweries, and restaurants, all about 30 minutes from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from the Jersey Shore. Come for the showing, stay for the lake life!
