407 2nd street

Welcome to 407 N 2nd Street, one of the finest homes available in Camden. This meticulously maintained pre–Civil War residence blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates and offers rare views of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The property features a sizable rear yard, an Amish-built shed, low maintenance landscaping, and careful stewardship throughout the years. Inside, the home offers 4 bedrooms plus a small bonus room that can function as an additional bedroom, nursery, studio, or flex space. A standout feature is the beautiful office with ample natural light from its single skylight and surrounding windows. The third floor includes two additional solar-powered skylights along with a multi-unit high-efficiency mini split system that provides powerful heating and cooling for that level. Additional main level highlights include a back porch mudroom and a walk in food pantry. Original architectural details have been tastefully preserved throughout the home, while updates have been integrated to improve comfort and efficiency. These include central air conditioning, a high-efficiency on-demand tankless water heater, a new roof, and upgraded systems. The property sits on one of the nicest blocks in the city and is within short distance to Rutgers Community Fields, several parks, PATCO, the Riverline, and the way across the Ben Franklin Bridge. Cooper Grant is a rapidly growing neighborhood with new housing developments planned in the coming years. Ample resident-permitted street parking is available (the resident have never had trouble finding parking on their block.) Residents benefit from access to the Rutgers LEAP school system from preschool through high school, an active neighborhood association (CGNA), and proximity to the recently refurbished Rutgers tennis courts. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained and tastefully updated home in one of Camden’s most desirable historic neighborhoods.
