"Joe Flacco-the Super Bowl-winning quarterback who currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengals-doesn't just possess an eagle eye when it comes to throwing a football. His prescience for smart buys on the real estate market is also championship worthy. The same way Flacco scans the field for the perfect pass, his eye for opportunity led him and wife Dana to the three-and-a-half-acre plot where their custom-built home now stands."
""I realized that if I didn't jump on it at that moment, in 10 or 15 years the whole area would have already been rebuilt," he says of the homes on a quiet street in Haddonfield, New Jersey, where the lot sizes can be six times the average in the rest of the town. "I knew if we waited too long, we would have to do something we didn't want to do-buy from someone who had already renovated or pay way more money than we wanted to.""
Joe and Dana Flacco purchased a three-and-a-half-acre plot in Haddonfield, New Jersey, and built a custom, ultrafunctional home emphasizing hardworking materials and smart storage. The couple chose the suburb for its large lots and proximity to where they grew up, keeping their families nearby. They valued a traditional, old-school neighborhood where children can run from house to house and walk to school. The Flaccos bought the property 15 years before breaking ground while raising five children now between ages 13 and 7, and they enlisted architecture firm Asher Slaunwhite + Partners.
