Do you know that buying a home directly from the owners can save buyers tens of thousands of dollars in real estate commissions? For about $1,000 each, an experienced real estate attorney and a competent home inspector can guide you through the entire direct sale process with confidence. We've bought and sold several homes over the years directly and actually prefer the openess of face-to-face interaction with the owners and buyers. Talk to us about how the process works.

Moorestown was named "America's Best Town" by Money Magazine 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 safest, quietest, most convenient and most family-friendly streets.

The outstanding curbside appeal of this home 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 most valuable lots on the block and surrounded by larger, more expensive Victorian homes. As you may know, houses really don't appreciate much, if at all, but the large lot this house is on is worth aprox. 8 times more than when we bought it in 1982. Also, this home is very expandable on both sides and to the back without zoning restrictions (unlike many other homes on the sreet). You can always change the house, but you can't change the location or size  of the lot! The added bonus is that the property taxes are relatively low for the neighborhood ($6582)

222 Linden Street is conveniently located to all of Moorestown's nationally-renowned public and private schools, and is a short pleasant walk to Moorestown's bus stop, churches, restaurants, Starbucks, shops, galleries, community house, tennis courts, golf course, sledding hill, playgrounds, indoor pool and professional services. As such, this home is an excellent choice for down-sizing empty-nesters who love convenience, gardening and lower taxes, as well as for young families who want to invest in the Moorestown dream in a very appealing, economical home on a valuable piece of land with lots of playmates for their kids and lots of allowable future expansion, investment-return potential, safety for their young children and lower taxes

Inside: 4 bedrooms. The hi-velocity central air, half bath and cozy cast-iron gas stove all were new in 2007. All old wiring and plumbing have been updated. 1.5 modern baths. Beautiful, original "pumpkin pine" restored flooring. Sunny, eat-in kitchen with island, Elkay Harmony high-end gourmet sink and all new or newer appliances. The full bath has Victorian-style ceramic tile and restoration fixtures. Genuine hand-made oriental stair carpet. The first-floor laundry room has newer washer/dryer. Ample attic and basement storage. Dry basement with workshop bench, shop lights and newer food freezer

This home is cozy and energy efficient with hot water radiators, insulation, gas hot water heater (with automatic leak protection) and hi-velocity central air conditioning, and has used only 275 to 400 gallons of heating oil in each of the last three winters for a working couple

Outdoors, meet your neighbors on the elegant, shaded Victorian front porch 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, 20-amp outlets for hobbies and plenty of extra storage. Rear deck for outdoor dining overlooking your gardens. Low-maintenance permanent gardens are awash with spring and summer blooms on the dozens of flowering shrubs and trees and hundreds of flowering bulbs. Full-coverage automatic outdoor security lighting and 20-amp outdoor outlets for gardening equipment. All roof decking was replaced to the rafters in 1997. Gutter guards. And last but certainly not least: the surrounding neighbors take great pride in maintaining their Victorian homes and gardens, which gives this end of Linden St. a rare and enviable "Victorian village" flavor. Kind of like Cape May in Moorestown!

In the 29 years we've been restoring and enjoying this fine antique home, we have always strove to retain and maintain all the interior and exterior details of the original structure to enhance the historical integrity, beauty and value. But we've also corrected all the major plumbing, electrical, drainage and plaster restoration problems that plague so many antique homes. If we didn't have to leave Moorestown, we would certainly stay and continue to enjoy this fine home.

So call or e-mail us anytime! We'd be happy to open the house for a relaxed private tour at your convenience and welcome you to this special neighborhood.
