Cherished yesterdays, but gracious tomorrows, this Grand Old Lady is rich in history. Featured in the book “Down A Country Lane”, it describes the original owner and how the property was once used. Lovingly restored to its original beauty by the current owners, from the handcrafted oak and chestnut moldings and shelving to the stunning tiger oak fireplace mantle. From the minute you approach this historical home, the 75 foot wrap around porch grabs your attention. Built when quality wasn’t an option, with details such as 5 original stained glass windows, full leaded glass sidelights, solid masonry construction, 8 foot pocket doors, and 10 foot ceilings. The kitchen is modernized with shaker styled cabinets and granite counters. All 3 full Bathrooms are also updated to meet today’s lifestyles. Front and back staircases lead to the upstairs where you will find 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and the third floor has a master suite including a room currently repurposed as a large walk-in closet. The almost half acre lot is such a wonderful entertaining area with a 1000sf EP Henry patio and fireplace bar/grill, horseshoe pits and walkways. Some of the many upgrades include: newer windows, waterproofed dry basement, off street parking plentiful enough for 6 plus vehicles, 1 car detached garage and the dreaded knob and tube wiring has been removed. The home can be accessed from two streets, Merrick and Mansion. Just a short walk to Newton Creek Park and Patco, or a 15 min drive to Philly Airport, 2 hours to NY and 3 hours to DC. You can also enjoy a stroll into downtown Collingswood. Own a bit of the area’s history!
