“The exterior of the residence is a classic design, visually streamlined, and complemented by a meticulously landscaped entry courtyard.”
It’s even made its way onto the social media, where a video of the home drew admirers on Instagram.
“Note to self: Win Powerball. Make offer on this house,” one person said in the comment section on Instagram.
“Just put in a bid...its less expensive than paying for ice time here in NJ and its a write off,” another noted.
