28 Titus Ave, Lawrence Township, NJ 08648

Prepare to be smitten upon arrival at this in-town, artist-owned property full of special details impossible to find anywhere else. A tour of the fenced yard with spectacular flowering trees and a wraparound deck will only deepen the adoration. It’s no wonder the house, grounds and separate studio were once featured in a book about design and outdoor entertaining! A stone walkway leads to the charming front door and formal entry. The living room, anchored by a traditional fireplace, welcomes a crowd, while an office through a glass-paned door is an out-of-the-way refuge for quiet tasks. During a smart renovation that added counter seating, cleverly designed shelving and an apron sink, the kitchen was opened up to the light-filled dining room. A nearby full bath that accommodates the laundry was another well-planned change that increased the vintage home’s functionality. Upstairs, a second large bath serves 3 bedrooms. Almost all of the windows in the main house, including period casements, were replaced a year ago for maximum energy efficiency. A full service studio above the detached garage features an array of stained glass windows that cast colorful splashes of light across the lofty cathedral space. A kitchenette and a clawfoot tub allow this invaluable separate space to serve multiple uses, from a home office, to an artist’s studio, to a guest house for loved ones or an au pair. Favorite Village destinations, like The Gingered Peach, are mere blocks away!
