422 Line StreetHammonton, NJ 08037Price: $409,900

422 Line Street sits on one of the top residential streets in the heart of Hammonton - six or seven blocks from the center of town, which makes downtown and the restaurants a genuine walk rather than a drive. The house is a Cape Cod on a .23 lot, built in 1982, with 1,296 square feet of living space. Three bedrooms and two full baths: two bedrooms on the first floor and a large bedroom upstairs. It was built as a modular - set on its crawl space foundation. It is built to the same state building code as a stick-built house, it sits on a permanent foundation. What you get in exchange is a house assembled indoors under controlled conditions, which is why a 1982 build is still square and tight forty-plus years later. Inside is bright and clean, painted white throughout, and simple. This is not a house with inlaid floors and crown molding. It is a straightforward, sensible floor plan that works. What it does have is a mechanical history most houses in this price range cannot match. Roof shingles replaced in 2016. Central air new in 2023. Heat from 2009. Hot water heater from 2015. Public water and public sewer. Add it up and you are not buying a project - you are buying a house where the expensive things have already been handled and have real life left in them. There is a shed in the rear yard, sold as is. For a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or anyone who wants to be in Hammonton proper without taking on somebody else's deferred maintenance, this one is worth a look.
