Brand-new construction on 3.2 acres in Winslow Township - and that combination is the whole story. Most new homes in South Jersey at this price sit on a fraction of an acre. This one doesn't. The Middleman I offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,128± square feet, with a 422± square foot attached garage, on a 3.2-acre homesite on the northern edge of the township with a Berlin post office address. Complete and ready to show. Nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, starting at the front foyer. The kitchen is the centerpiece: upgraded countertops, full LG stainless steel appliance package, 42-inch cabinets with dovetail-jointed drawers and soft-close throughout. It opens into a light-filled dinette and then the family room, which has built-in bookshelves, a framed flat-screen mount, and a gas fireplace. A flex room measuring 13 by 12 works as an office, dining room, recreation room, or media retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and a bath with a furniture-grade vanity, corner deep tub, 2x4 tile, and linen storage. Three additional bedrooms share a full hall bath, and the laundry room is on the bedroom level where it belongs. Mechanically it was done right, and this is where new construction is often cut short. Natural gas heat. Dual-zone central air - two zones, so the second floor isn't fighting the first. 200-amp electrical service. Public water and private septic. Asphalt driveway and a covered front approach. Everything new, everything permitted, everything under warranty. At $686,000, this home offers what the nearby developments cannot: land. Room to garden, room for a shop, room for kids to actually run. You cannot buy three acres in Winslow and put a new house on them for anywhere near this number. New construction without the postage-stamp lot. Showings available now.
