About This Home

As of August 2016

This is classic Eastown Real Estate. The character starts as you walk into the beautiful foyer brandishing early 1900's hexagon and square detailed tiling. Hardwood floors flow throughout the home and much of the architectural character from 1916 still exists. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace, the formal dining room or the second floor sun porch. The kitchen has been recently remodeled. The basement is very clean, great for storage. You will surprisingly find an elevator from the first floor to the second . Generous sized bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Travel to the attic and you will be pleasantly surprised to see the possibilities of an exclusive master suite! Hard to find a better location, a couple blocks from all Eastown has to offer, very close EGR, Cherry Hill, and minutes from downtown
