HGTV says this NJ home deserves to be saved
For renovators who love a challenge, this house is a dream. Because this dream needs a LOT of T.L.C.
This house, located at 369 Kings Highway in Salem, was built in 1865 and is currently listed on Realtor.com for $350,000.

Once upon a time, this 6 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom structure was a farmhouse and dairy house, and it sits on a pretty, green plot of 5.5 acres.
According to NJ.com, it has so much potential that it's caught the attention of HGTV's Cheap Old Houses.
From the outside, you can definitely tell that it once was a grand, stately house... but wait until you look inside. You only just begin to get the idea of how much this house needs saving. Most of the features of this house are original, which would make them over 150 years old.

It's always a shame when you see an old house that you can tell was beautiful in its heyday go into disrepair and face the danger of demolition. So it's nice to see that this one has hope of survival.
Whoever buys this Cinderella house will have to have a love for old things, a desire for a long-term passion project... and a lot of money! The good news is that there may be grants available for some of the work to have the house historically restored, according to the real estate agent.
