There is no other home in Merchantville quite like it - and once you know its story, you will understand why.

Built in 1863, before Merchantville was even an incorporated borough, this building has lived many remarkable lives. It was later acquired by the Merchantville Women's Club, who used it as their expansive gathering place for decades. The women who met here founded the Merchantville Public Library and the Visiting Nurse Association and organized the first ever home tour in Merchantville's history.

In the mid 1980s the building was purchased and converted into the extraordinary single family home it is today. A freestanding grand staircase was added to the center of what was once one uninterrupted room, creating a natural and flowing division between the living and dining rooms, not quite separate, but beautifully defined and perfect for entertaining. An original marble fireplace anchors the space. The original two stall bathroom has been thoughtfully updated to include a charming freestanding tub nestled in a custom tiled alcove. A huge kitchen addition with a skylight was added to the first floor, featuring a large island with seating, a dedicated coffee bar area, a full appliance package, hardwood floors, and granite countertops. French doors open to a huge first floor deck overlooking a newly fenced oversized yard, a true outdoor retreat. A shed, plenty of raised garden beds, and dedicated gardening areas make this a dream for anyone with a green thumb.

The second floor is anchored by an expansive primary bedroom with soaring 27 foot ceilings, two closets, and a separate entrance to the first floor. A spacious hallway, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a bonus room perfect for a home office or play room, and a laundry area complete this remarkable level.

The third floor offers a large bedroom and a loft area, providing flexible space for whatever your lifestyle demands.

Additional updates include a 5 year old roof, all new electrical throughout, an EV charging station, and driveway parking.
Now vacant and being sold as-is and in good condition. Borough Certificate of Occupancy already in hand and ready for a quick closing.

Just steps to the Merchantville walking path leading into the heart of downtown, with its local shops, restaurants, brewery, and more. Walk to schools, churches, and the library. A short commute to the city with easy access to the bridges. Truly one of South Jersey's most walkable communities.
