Description

Built in 1858, before Merchantville was even incorporated as a borough, this one-of-a-kind home offers a wonderful blend of history, character, and an incredibly unique location! Having outlived its original main house and witnessed a railroad once passing by its front door, this property has quite a story to tell. Today, that same entrance faces Merchantville's walking trail, just one block from the heart of downtown!

One of the most special features of this property is its setting, with two inviting entrances and a completely different view from either side! The walking trail side welcomes you with mature trees and beautiful landscaping, while the opposite side offers
an expansive stretch of lawn extending all the way to Park Avenue. Here you'll find a driveway with plenty of off-street parking, a brick patio, and a storage shed. It's a rare arrangement that gives this historic property a setting unlike most others in town!

Inside, the home has been restored over the years, blending modern conveniences with much of its original charm. Hardwood floors welcome you into the living and dining area, while an eat-in kitchen and an additional sitting room provide comfortable spaces for everyday living. The first floor also includes a bedroom, full bathroom, and convenient laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, including a primary bedroom with generous closet space.

And the location? Just steps from everything that makes Merchantville such a special place to call home! Enjoy easy access to downtown shops, restaurants, parks, festivals, parades, and community events, all while having the walking trail practically at your doorstep.

A little history, a lot of character, and a location that truly sets this home apart. Here's your opportunity to own a piece of Merchantville's past and make it part of your future!
