About This Home

As of December 2012

Well located in the Cherry Hill Historic District just a half block from the bakery, restaurants and fun shops on Wealthy, this home was well built in 1900 and lovingly restored in 1993. The character has been tastefully preserved with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and pocket doors which provide an open flow from the large living room, through to the family room with fireplace and formal dining room. A master bath was added recently, a modern two car garage built in 1999 and a new roof in 2010. In addition to the three bedrooms there is finished space on the third floor which currently serves as an office. There is a vintage wrap around front porch, open lot to the north and plenty of room out back for a garden. Make this your home for a happy holiday!
