Property Details

Welcome to Seven Stars Tavern x2014; a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of New Jerseyx2019;s colonial history. Built in 1762 and rich with Revolutionary-era significance, this extraordinary residence blends timeless architectural character with the warmth and charm of a true historic home. Once a landmark tavern along the Kingx2019;s Highway, the property has gracefully evolved into a private residence whilepreserving its original craftsmanship, story, and enduring presence.Sprawling across approximately 1.73 acres, this two and one half-story, brick dwelling offers just under 3,000 square feet of living space. The three bedroom home is rich in character and warmth, featuring three traditional wood-burning fireplaces and three propane gas-burning fireplaces, creating inviting gathering spaces throughout. Generous proportions and a sense of scale make this residence feel both substantial and welcoming, ideal for comfortable everyday living and entertaining alike. The expansive grounds further enhance the propertyx2019;s appeal, featuring a three-car detached garage, a spacious exterior patio for outdoor gatherings, and an in-ground swimming pool that anchors the landscape as a private retreat. Together, the home and grounds present a rare blend of comfort, charm, and resort-style amenities.Built in 1762, the historic Seven Stars Tavern is one of Salem Countyx2019;s most notable examples of 18th-century colonial architecture. Constructed by Peter and Elizabeth Louderback along the former Kingx2019;s Highway, the brick structure replaced an earlier log tavern and was identified by the iconic x201c;Sign of the Seven Stars,x201d; a celestial emblem used to guide travelers in the colonial era. The Louderbacksx2019; initials and the original construction date remain visible in the brickwork, offering a rare and authentic connection to the propertyx2019;s origins and craftsmanship. During the colonial and Revolutionary periods, Seven Stars Tavern served as a vital roadside stop and community gathering place, providing lodging and hospitality to travelers and locals alike. The property is closely tied to Revolutionary War history through the Louderback familyx2019;s patriot support, including a documented British raid in 1778 while searching for their son, John Louderback. He is believed to have supplied Continental (American) troops with food which resulted in the British putting a price on his head. By the early 1800s, the building transitioned into a private residence and farmhouse, a role it has maintained for generations. Today, listed on the National and New Jersey Register of Historic Places, Seven Stars Tavern stands as a remarkably preserved historic homex2014;rich in character, heritage, and timeless appealx2014;offering a rare opportunity to own a true piece of New Jersey history.
