142 E Oak Ave, Moorestown, NJ 08057

Built in 1865, this distinctive Victorian home is situated on arguably one of the most sought-after tree-lined streets in town. Rich in history and architectural character, the home features original wood floors, large oversized windows, stately millwork, original plaster moldings, stained-glass windows, high-end chandeliers, and seven fireplaces—five of which are currently working. The entrance room welcomes you with a stone fireplace, graceful staircase, and beautiful stained glass. The living room features an Eastlake mantel adorned with special Mercer tile. The original owner of the home owned the Trenton Tile Works, adding an especially meaningful connection to the property’s history. The large kitchen offers excellent flexibility, with an eat-in area, homework space, sitting area, and cozy seating nook. The kitchen also provides access to the remodeled screened-in back porch, which features its own fireplace. The remodeled mudroom and laundry area offer practical everyday convenience. The dining room includes a newly added dry bar and additional molding, creating an inviting space for entertaining. The second floor includes generously sized bedrooms, along with a completely remodeled primary bathroom. High-velocity central air conditioning has been added to both the second and third floors. The home has also undergone important infrastructure improvements, including replacement of plumbing behind the walls where needed, replacement of the water line to the street, removal of all knob-and-tube electrical wiring, resurfacing of the flat roofs, and repairs to the slate roof. The spacious third floor offers significant versatility and has the potential to function as a private apartment-style living area, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, full bathroom, living room, and utility room. This arrangement could be ideal for extended family, guests, a home office setup, or other flexible living needs, subject to any required approvals. A large unfinished basement provides excellent storage and utility space and includes Bilco doors opening directly to the driveway for convenient access. Additional special features include a historic old-school phone booth and an abundance of distinctive lighting fixtures and period details throughout the home. The detached two-car garage was completely rebuilt within the past year. The former in-ground pool has been removed, creating additional flexibility for the property’s outdoor space. This is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant Victorian home with exceptional character, meaningful updates, and a highly desirable location. The home still offers opportunities for further modernization and upgrades and is priced accordingly, allowing the next owner to continue enhancing this one-of-a-kind property while preserving its remarkable architectural legacy.
