About This Home
Step into timeless elegance at this extraordinary Moorestown estate, where Great Gatsby-level glamour meets modern comfort and functionality. Originally built in 1924 and gracefully situated on just over an acre in the heart of town, this stately residence is more than just a home—it’s a legacy. With walkable access to Main Street, top-tier schools, and easy proximity to Philadelphia and the shore points, it offers a rare blend of prestige and convenience.
Unlike many homes of its era, which leaned into Art Deco or Neo-Gothic styles, this residence draws from the more refined Federal style. Its classic architecture—double-hung windows, covered entry, and symmetry—exudes grace, while the scale and layout feel warm, welcoming, and entirely livable for today's lifestyle.
From the moment you step into the grand center hall, you're met with impeccable craftsmanship: floor-to-ceiling windows topped with fanlights, layered custom millwork, and original detailing that whispers of the home’s rich heritage. The traditional living and dining rooms provide formal entertaining space, while a cozy screened-in porch invites easy conversation and quiet morning coffees.
For the modern entertainer and culinary enthusiast, the kitchen wing is a dream. Anchored by a massive island and hand-painted Italian-tile pizza oven, this space also features a walk-in pantry, catering kitchen, and beautiful wood floors throughout the butler’s pantry. A thoughtful addition by a previous owner expanded this area to include a casual dining space, den, drop zone, and even a fitness room above—plus a full basement below with soaring ceilings. Throughout the home, you'll find worldly touches—from imported French mantels and lighting to the Andalusian-style gathering room with a custom bar and terracotta floors overlooking the pool. A rich mahogany library with coffered ceilings and fireplace is perfect for work or winding down.
Downstairs, the finished basement offers surprises at every turn: a wine tasting room, craft space, theater stage, full kitchen, billiards area, and more—ideal for both creative escape and large-scale entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with dual bathrooms, custom closets, and a tucked-away office space. Three additional bedroom suites grace the second floor, with even more flexible rooms on the third—perfect for guests, teens, or staff quarters.
Outside, the resort-style backyard is built to impress: a sparkling pool and spa, a full outdoor kitchen with multiple grills and warming drawers, a wood-burning fireplace, and a striking bluestone patio with brick inlay. The restored three-level barn has been converted into a two-car garage and awaits your personal finishing touches—think studio, office, or guest suite.
This one-of-a-kind home offers the rare combination of historical significance, architectural artistry, luxurious living, and a location that truly has it all. Schedule your private tour and experience what it feels like to live in a home that’s as rich in story as it is in style.
