Description

A landmark Moorestown Victorian, restored and restructured to reveal its architectural character while introducing a more open and livable design. Three-story living with ten-foot ceilings on the main level, original moldings, grand pocket doors, and a handcrafted staircase anchor the home’s character. Structural reconfiguration creates brighter interiors with improved flow throughout, including a finished lower level.The main level is introduced through a foyer that reads as a room of its own, where restored inlaid wood floors, original millwork, and a handcrafted staircase establish the architectural tone carried throughout the home. The layout was restructured to create uninterrupted sightlines, allowing each room to connect while maintaining a clear sense of scale and purpose. The family room functions as a more continuous living space, with preserved fireplace detail that anchors the room. A private study with custom millwork and built-ins offers a more focused setting. A newly constructed dining room addition extends from the kitchen, scaled for both everyday use and entertaining.The kitchen features handcrafted inset cabinetry in a soft ivory finish with polished nickel hardware and a 10-foot walnut island. Bianco Rhino marble extends across countertops and a full-height backsplash, complemented by 18 x 18 marble tile flooring. Appliances include a 48” Wolf range, integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and a panel-ready dishwasher, maintaining a clean, furniture-like aesthetic. A butler’s pantry continues the material palette with inset cabinetry and marble surfaces, supporting the adjacent dining room.A private primary wing is accessed through newly added double doors. A balcony, accessible from both the bedroom and bath, extends the suite outward and brings natural light into the space. The spa bath includes custom cabinetry, Rohl fixtures, a steam shower with seating, and marble mosaic detailing. Secondary baths are finished with Newport Brass fixtures. Lighting selections include fixtures by Hudson Valley, Visual Comfort, and Currey & Company. A second-floor laundry room is located on the bedroom level, supporting everyday function.A private suite positioned above the garage introduces additional flexibility, designed to function as a second primary, guest quarters, or an expansive recreation space. Measuring approximately 25' x 14'6", the room is complemented by a full bath and two custom-outfitted walk-in closets (each approximately 5'10" x 5'3"). The scale and layout also lend themselves to a shared suite configuration. Originally conceived as two bedrooms, the space was intentionally left open to allow future owners to tailor it to their needs.The third level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large bonus room suited for media, fitness, or workspace, along with walk-in attic storage. The finished lower level provides additional flexible living space, a powder room, and newly poured concrete flooring in portions of the level.Additional improvements include a mudroom with garage entry, new roof, Andersen Energy Star-rated windows, updated mechanical systems, three-zone HVAC, two tankless water heaters, upgraded electrical service, and Lutron Caseta smart lighting. Exterior updates include a new asphalt driveway, bluestone walkways, and landscape improvements.Originally built in 1886, this home has been restored and restructured to preserve its architectural integrity while offering a more functional and refined living experience.
