Welcome to this stately post-Victorian home in historic Collingswood. Centrally located within minutes of the Philadelphia bridges, walking distance to Patco High Speedline and just under 50 minutes to the Jersey shore, this home, with a view of Newton Lake on an enormous lot, has been totally renovated from top to bottom, yet keeps its original charm. The house has wonderful curb appeal, with brand new sod, fresh landscaping, and newly installed shutters on the second floor. There is also a full open front porch with a seating area where you can relax at the end of the day. Or if you prefer, sit out back on the large concrete patio while enjoying the view of Newton Creek Lake from the yard. The over-sized lot may also be sub-divided if you choose to in the future, as other homes in the neighborhood have been able to do so in recent years. The front door opens to the enormous living room that features a sitting area, a family gathering area, and 9' ceilings. Most striking are the original hardwood floors with mahogany inlays and the wood burning fireplace with a stone hearth and original mantle. There are also floor to ceiling bookshelves with storage. French doors lead to the enclosed 3 season room. The dining room is perfect for large family gatherings. No expense was spared in the total renovation of the kitchen. Brand new cabinets with soft close door and drawers, granite counter tops, and a glass and tile back splash are just a few of the improvements. New stainless steel appliances have been installed and the kitchen has both a storage pantry and a butler's pantry with a built in wine rack. There is also a remodeled powder room on the first floor. Stairs lead to the full basement with an attached greenhouse and walk out access to the backyard. The second floor also has original hardwood floors in the four bedrooms and hall. The master bedroom is grand with lots of natural light. The upstairs bathroom has also been freshly updated with all new fixtures, new toilet and sink, and a brand new linen cabinet.
