About This Home

As of December 2023

Presenting 621 Chester Avenue in Moorestown–a truly exceptional embodiment of timeless elegance and modern convenience. Originally constructed in 1903 by the esteemed Collins family, this architectural masterpiece beautifully blends the Arts and Crafts movement with English design influences from Oswald Milne, Norman Shaw, and Philip Webb. From the moment you step onto the property, you'll be captivated by the historic charm of this three-story Arts and Crafts-style residence. The brick-clad first floor seamlessly transitions into stucco on the upper levels, creating a captivating visual contrast. The entrance, framed by brick pilasters, boasts a segmental-arched design that draws the eye, while a sense of whimsy can be found in every corner. The overall asymmetrical composition of the exterior design exudes character, reflecting the artistic ingenuity of its era. The house proudly features a polygonal bay to the north, spanning two stories and crowned by a spacious gable that hosts a tripartite window, allowing natural light to cascade into the interior. As you explore the property, you'll discover a bungalow-style porch on the side, perfect for leisurely afternoons or a more casual entrance for your guests. The distinctive tiered chimney stack to the south and two interior end chimneys to the north tell a story of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Step inside the home and prepare to be amazed by over 9,400 square feet of living space spanning from the basement to the 3rd floor. This home features 6 to 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and a half bathroom. The 1st floor exudes elegance with a formal dining room, grand foyer, stately library/den, and a versatile gathering room. The gathering room, complete with a large gas fireplace and elegant coffered ceiling, is the perfect space to entertain your evening guests. The formal dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, boasts inlaid wooden floors, a double-sided fireplace, and beautiful crown molding. A well designed kitchen, equipped with premium appliances and counters, two sinks and dishwashers, a stainless steel Viking double oven and a six-burner gas stove with griddle, breakfast bar, and Sub-Zero appliances. A butler's pantry, adjacent to the kitchen offers a wine refrigerator, beverage drawers, and a coffee/espresso station. An informal breakfast area provides a sunlit spot for morning gatherings. The kitchen, butler's pantry, and eat-in area seamlessly flow into the family room, which is set at the back of the home for privacy and offers exquisite views of the manicured backyard. The family room features three French doors that open to the wrap-around bluestone terrace, complete with an outdoor grill area and multiple seating areas for enjoying time outdoors or al fresco dining. The 2nd floor is home to a primary bedroom with radiant heat, dual bathrooms, dual closets, a changing room, and a large balcony overlooking the backyard. The primary ensuite bathrooms provide personal refuges for relaxation/pampering. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom complete this floor. On the 3rd floor, you'll find 4 generous bedrooms, an additional bathroom, and a walk-in cedar closet. The basement is divided between the original and new sections which features high ceilings, a tile floor, recessed lighting, a full bathroom, a Pool Table, and a 1,200-plus bottle Wine Cellar that will delight connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike. Returning to the main level and stepping off the terrace into the backyard, you'll find abundant privacy and unique areas for enjoyment including a Reflecting Pool, English Gardens, a Pond with a Waterfall. The impressive 4376 SQFT carriage home features a 3-car garage, stables, and an open 2nd-floor area. Additional property features include Electric Perimeter Fencing, Irrigation System, and Golf Course Views. Arrange a showing today! This is your invitation to indulge in a lifestyle where history and modernity seamlessly coalesce.
