Property Description

Location, lifestyle, and peace of mind come together in this charming Colonial just steps from the best of Collingswood and Haddon Township. Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a single-family home in such a walkable location where the major improvements have already been completed, allowing the next owner to focus primarily on cosmetic personalization and making the home their own. Showcasing timeless curb appeal, this classic Colonial features a welcoming covered front porch, perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere. The exterior has been thoughtfully updated with a newer roof (2023), approximately $42,000 in replacement windows (2025-2026), low-maintenance aluminum siding, mature landscaping, and a private driveway leading to a fenced backyard with storage shed. Solar panels, paired with a low monthly lease of just $137, help keep utility costs affordable while improving energy efficiency. Inside, you'll appreciate the warmth and character that define this home. High ceilings, oversized baseboards, and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and continues into the bright white kitchen featuring recessed lighting, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, exposed brick accents, and a convenient pantry. Just beyond the kitchen, a large rear deck overlooks the fully fenced backyard, providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or relaxing in the afternoon sun. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, each with closet space that is uncommon for homes of this era, along with a full bathroom. A pull-down staircase provides access to a floored attic for additional storage, while the dry basement offers excellent ceiling height, laundry facilities, a workshop area, and storage. There is also potential to add a first-floor powder room, further enhancing the home's functionality. The true luxury of this property is its unbeatable location. Leave the car at home and enjoy a lifestyle centered around convenience and community. Stroll to the award-winning restaurants, cafés, boutiques, breweries, and farmers markets of Downtown Collingswood and Haddon Township. The PATCO High-Speed Line is just a short walk away, providing direct access to Center City Philadelphia in minutes. Cooper River Park, with its scenic walking and biking trails, rowing, sailing, and recreational amenities, is nearby, while major highways, bridges, Philadelphia International Airport, shore destinations, and the Pocono Mountains are all easily accessible. Significant recent capital improvements provide tremendous value and peace of mind, including a newer HVAC system (2021), water heater (2021), full remediation of knob-and-tube wiring with complete electrical rewiring, replacement windows, and a newer roof. With the costly mechanical and structural updates already completed, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained home in one of South Jersey's most desirable communities while adding your own cosmetic vision over time. Whether you're purchasing your first home, rightsizing, or seeking a walkable lifestyle close to Philadelphia, this exceptional Collingswood Colonial offers the perfect combination of location, character, and long-term value.
