Franklinville, NJ 08322 27 Lauren Way

The moment you pull into 27 Lauren Way, you understand that something different is happening here. The magnificent exterior with copper roof accent, the manicured grounds, the custom outbuilding that matches the house -- this is not a home that was built and forgotten. This is a home that has been loved for decades by the only family that has ever owned it, and it shows in every corner. Enter through the glass front door into a soaring two-story foyer where warm hardwood floors, a sweeping white balustrade staircase, and a chandelier set the tone immediately. Crown molding, wainscoting, and decorative columns frame the main level where an open sightline carries you straight through the heart of the home. A private first-floor office sits just off the foyer -- ideal for the remote professional who needs separation without leaving the house. The formal living room with its bay window and crown molding flows just down the hall into the family room, where sliding doors with an amazing view make this the room the family actually lives in. The kitchen anchors it all -- center island, rich oak cabinetry, tile backsplash, and a layout designed for cooking and gathering simultaneously. A large pantry, a mudroom with sink and laundry, and interior garage access complete a first floor designed for real life. Upstairs, the primary suite is a genuine retreat. Expansive enough to hold a sitting area under a coffered ceiling, the suite leads to dual walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with soaking tub, separate glass shower, double vanity, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized and the secondary bath with double sinks makes school mornings manageable. The finished basement extends the living area further with high ceilings and an open floor plan ready to become theater, gym, or playroom -- plus a separate unfinished storage and utility room keeping everything organized behind the scenes. The big-ticket items that matter most have been addressed. The roof was replaced just 8 years ago with 50-year architectural shingles. All major appliances are professionally serviced on an annual schedule. Two water softeners protect the plumbing and appliances throughout. And when the power goes out, the whole-house Generac generator means this house keeps running while the neighbors wait in the dark. This is what a meticulously maintained one-owner home looks like. Then there is the backyard. The enclosed breezeway connects the house to an outdoor living experience that most families only dream about: a Trex deck overlooking a custom gunite pool with diving board, surrounding concrete patio, raised deck with gazebo, and a fully fenced yard. A second custom-built structure matching the home's cedar shake exterior serves as a finished outbuilding for storage, workshop, or hobbies. A second storage shed handles the overflow. Two-car garage and ample driveway round out a property that truly has it all. One owner. Meticulously maintained. 27 Lauren Way is the kind of home that comes to market once.
