Lovely Antique Home on Special Moorestown Street -

Moorestown was named "Americas Best Town" by Money Magazine (2005) and 222 Linden Street is that rare, well-cared-for, adorable and economical antique home in the most classic and elegant sector of Moorestown center, and on one of the quietest and most family-friendly streets. The outstanding curbisde appeal is attested to by the countless passersby who have said it is one of the prettiest homes in Moorestown. This home is also an excellent investment value, being on one of the largest (.33-acre) and more valuable lots in the neighborhood and surrounded by larger, more expensive homes, and is very expandable on both sides and to the back without zoning restrictions (unlike many other  homes on the street). The property taxes are relatively low for the  neighborhood ($6481 for 2009) 

222 Linden Street is conveniently located to all of Moorestown's nationally-renowned public and private schools, and is a short walk to Moorestown's churches, restaurants, shops, galleries, community house, tennis, golf, sledding hill, indoor pool and professional services. As such, this home is an excellent choice for down-sizing empty-nesters who love convenience and  gardening, as well as for young families who want to invest in the Moorestown dream in a classically attractive, economical home on a great piece of land with lots of allowable future expansion and investment-return potential.

This home has 4 bedrooms, 1600 sq. ft, 1.5 baths and original "pumpkin pine" restored flooring. The sunny kitchen has an island and all new or newer appliances, and the Victorian bath has authentic restoration Victorian fixtures. The central air, half bath and cast-iron gas stove were new in 2007. All wiring and plumbing has been updated. The first-floor laundry room has newer washer/dryer. Ample attic storage. Basement workshop with bench and work lights.

This home is energy efficient with restored antique hot water radiators, insulation, gas hot water heater and hi-velocity central air conditioning, and has used 325-400 gallons of heating oil in the last two winters for a working couple.

Outdoors, the elegant, shaded Victorian front porch is flanked by stately weeping cherry trees. Victorian paint plan and slate-look roofing. Spacious rear and side yards, 3-car driveway, and 1-to-2 car garage/workshop with shop lights and plenty of extra storage. Rear deck for outdoor dining. Full-coverage outdoor security lighting and 20-amp outdoor outlets. Low maintenance permanent gardens are awash with spring and summer blooms on the dozens of flowering shrubs and trees and hundreds of flowering bulbs.

In the 27 years we've been restoring and caring for  this antique home, we have alway strove to retain and maintain all the interior and exterior details of the original structure to enhance the  historical integrity, as well as the value, of the property.

So call or e-mail us anytime!  We'd be happy to give you a tour at your convenience.
