Property Description

REINTRODUCING THIS CLASSIC COLLINGSWOOD COLONIAL — NOW WITH A FRESH OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN! Ideally positioned just steps from the best of Collingswood and Haddon Township, this charming home combines the character buyers love with the peace of mind that comes from having many of the major improvements already completed. With updates to the roof, windows, HVAC, water heater, and electrical system, the next owner can focus less on big-ticket projects and more on personalizing the home to fit their style. From the moment you arrive, timeless curb appeal sets the tone. A welcoming covered front porch offers the perfect place for morning coffee, an evening drink, or simply enjoying the neighborhood. Exterior improvements include a newer roof (2023), approximately $42,000 in replacement windows (2025–2026), low-maintenance aluminum siding, mature landscaping, and a private driveway leading to a fully fenced backyard with storage shed. Solar panels with a low monthly lease of just $137 provide additional energy efficiency. Step inside and discover the warmth and character that are difficult to replicate in newer construction. High ceilings, oversized baseboards, abundant natural light, and classic architectural details create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, providing an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The bright white kitchen features butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, exposed brick accents, and a convenient pantry. Just beyond the kitchen, a large rear deck extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the fenced backyard. Summer dinners, gardening, pets, entertaining, or simply relaxing outside—the space offers plenty of possibilities. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with surprisingly ample closet space along with a full bathroom. A pull-down staircase provides access to a floored attic for additional storage. The dry basement offers excellent ceiling height, laundry facilities, a workshop area, and even more storage. There is also potential to add a first-floor powder room to further enhance the home's functionality. As appealing as the home itself is, the location may be its greatest amenity. Leave the car in the driveway and experience the walkable lifestyle that makes this pocket of Collingswood so desirable. Downtown Collingswood and Haddon Township's restaurants, cafés, boutiques, breweries, farmers markets, and community events are all within easy reach. The PATCO High-Speed Line is just a short walk away, making trips into Center City Philadelphia exceptionally convenient, while nearby Cooper River Park offers miles of scenic trails, rowing, sailing, and recreation. When it's time to venture farther, major highways and bridges provide convenient access to Philadelphia International Airport, the Jersey Shore, and beyond. Best of all, many of the improvements buyers typically worry about have already been addressed: HVAC (2021), water heater (2021), roof (2023), extensive replacement windows (2025–2026), and full remediation of the home's knob-and-tube wiring with complete electrical rewiring. With major capital improvements completed, exceptional walkability, classic character, private outdoor space, and convenient access to Philadelphia, this refreshed opportunity offers the chance to move in today and continue making it your own over time. Come experience the home—and the lifestyle—for yourself.
