The Story Behind the Name
July 4th, 1776. The Continental Congress has just approved the Declaration of Independence. The words are agreed upon, but someone needs to write them out by hand — perfectly, ceremoniously, for all of history to read. They chose Timothy Matlack.
A Burlington County brewer, soldier, and statesman, Matlack held the extraordinary honor of penning the official parchment copy of our nation’s founding document. His elegant script declaring “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” was not just beautiful penmanship. It was the perfect execution of democracy’s most important message.
Matlack mastered what many of us still strive for: balance. He ran a brewery, served in the Continental Army, held political office, and managed a household — all without losing the steady hand that wrote history. That legacy of balance is the inspiration behind The Matlack, Pearl Apartments’ most popular residence.
Why The Matlack Is Our Most Requested Floor Plan
Of the 17 heritage-named floor plans in The Pearl Collection, The Matlack has earned its position as the community’s volume leader with 50 residences. The reason is clear: 1,096 square feet designed around how people actually live and work today.
The defining feature is the dedicated study with French doors. This is not a nook carved into a hallway or a desk tucked into a bedroom corner. It is a real room with a door, a window, and a closet — a proper home office that also converts to a guest room when family visits, a nursery when life changes, or a creative studio when inspiration strikes.
Where Creative Energy Converges
The Matlack’s dedicated study supports the creative professionals, remote workers, and entrepreneurs who call Pearl home. Video podcast rooms, coworking lounges, and a connected community await just beyond your front door.
For remote workers especially, this distinction matters. When your clients video-call, they see a professional backdrop rather than an unmade bed. When 5 PM arrives, you close the French doors and walk into a living space that is designed for living — not a bedroom that doubles as everything.
Designed for How Life Actually Works
Study with French Doors
100 sq ft of dedicated workspace. Real room, real door, real closet. Professional home office by day, guest room when family visits.
Walk-In Master Closet
35-square-foot walk-in with dual hanging rods and upper shelving. The kind of organized luxury you would expect in residences well above this price point.
Two Full Bathrooms
No more morning scheduling conflicts. Semi-frameless glass doors, Speakman high-pressure showerheads, recessed medicine cabinets, and Hollywood-style LED lighting.
Seven Closets, 100 cu ft Storage
Master walk-in, bedroom 2 closet, study closet, linen closet, coat closet, kitchen pantry, plus bathroom storage. More storage than most houses.
Premium Finishes, Standard in Every Matlack
Every Matlack residence comes finished to the same elevated standard. There are no upgrade tiers or finish packages to agonize over. What you tour is what you get.
The kitchen features white shaker cabinetry with grooved handles, Heartland Calcutta Gold ceramic backsplash, an undermount sink with Pfister pull-down faucet, InSinkErator disposal, and pendant lighting above a breakfast bar that seats three. Both bathrooms include glossy white ceramic tile surrounds, Delta chrome fixtures, and above-toilet storage cabinetry. Throughout the home, 9-foot ceilings create an airy, open feel while Sherwin-Williams Alabaster walls provide a warm, modern backdrop.
Moorestown’s scenic trails and green spaces give pet owners a built-in daily routine just minutes from Pearl’s front door.
A Home That Evolves With You
One of the most compelling aspects of The Matlack is how its study adapts to every stage of life. The room does not lock you into a single use case. Instead, it grows with you.
Your Study, Reimagined Over Time
The flexibility of The Matlack means it works at every stage of your life.
CAREER BUILDING
Home office 250 days a year. Guest room for visiting friends 10 to 15 nights. Professional workspace with a real door you can close.
FAMILY PLANNING
Nursery full-time while baby is small. Office work shifts to the living room or community coworking lounge downstairs.
NEXT CHAPTER
Playroom by day, reading room by evening. Or convert back to a consulting office as the kids grow. Your space, your rules.

Location and Lifestyle
Pearl Apartments is located in Historic Moorestown, New Jersey, consistently ranked among the best places to live in the state. The community sits minutes from Cooper Health, Virtua Health, and Lockheed Martin, making The Matlack a natural fit for healthcare professionals, defense industry workers, and corporate executives who need reliable proximity to major employers without the stress of a long commute.
Live Well Beyond Your Front Door
Pearl’s resort-style amenity collection includes a fitness center, yoga studio, game room, coworking lounge, pet spa and bark park, and monthly Gallery Walk cultural events. The Pearl Privileges program offers exclusive savings at 50+ local businesses, including the adjacent Rizzieri Salon and Spa.
Your Pets Are Part of the Family
Pearl welcomes up to two pets per apartment and backs it up with amenities most communities only talk about: a dedicated pet spa for grooming day and an enclosed bark park for off-leash play.
The Matlack’s 1,096 square feet gives your furry family members room to roam, and the study door means you can keep them out of your workspace when it is time to focus.
Why Fifty Families Will Choose The Matlack
With 50 residences, The Matlack gives you something many popular floor plans do not: choice. Multiple building locations, different floors, varying orientations, and balcony availability mean you are not settling for the last unit available. You are selecting the specific Matlack that fits your lifestyle best.
At the same time, 50 is not unlimited. Pearl Apartments opens its first building in October 2026 with phased deliveries through September 2027. As the most requested layout in the collection, The Matlack’s best locations and floor positions will go to those who reserve early through the Pearl Priority Access program.
Timothy Matlack risked everything for the principle that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness should be accessible to all. His steady hand wrote the words that founded a nation. His legacy proves that perfect execution matters more than excessive scale.
The Matlack residence honors that legacy. A dedicated study at this price point is exceptional design. A walk-in master closet is uncommon luxury. Seven closets providing 100 cubic feet of storage is thoughtful planning that makes day-to-day living simply work better.
