New to the market is this beautifully maintained Colonial built circa 1828. Located in one of Bridgetons oldest and most charming neighborhoods, this Home features a brand-new kitchen with Stainless Steel appliances. Also, a brand-n ew mudroom/laundry room at the rear entrance. Step back in time through the dining room and adjacent kitchen with original hardwood flooring. From there the spacious open beamed living room can accommodate cozy nights with the Energy Star EPA certified Pellet Stove and East facing bay window. A retractable glass and screen storm door is the exit to the spacious, outdoor sitting porch among the magnificent mature trees and shrubs. Upstairs beyond the 9-light door at the base of the steps is more original hardwood flooring, landing at three spacious bedrooms boasting cedar lined closets, built in shelving and wonderful views with a full bathroom. Attic access is via a drop-down door. A partial full basement houses the updated oil tank, updated oil hot water boiler using the latest controls for peak efficiencies feeding cast iron radiators resulting in very warm nights when needed during the coldest months. A stainless-steel chimney liner adds to the safety of this system. A 2 zone mini split AC/Heatpump allows separate temperatures both upstairs and downstairs during summer and winter months. Custom color matched gutters with guards allowing for zero maintenance of the roof line. Custom built working outdoor shutters also add to the colonial charm of this Home. The 12x20 outdoor cottage/shed can be used as a work shop or general storage, featuring a Woodstove and a 30 amp electrical service also wired for a back up generator. Updated 200-amp electrical service allows plenty of room for any future expansion. A 6-zone alarm system includes coverage of the outdoor building. A 2-zone outdoor low voltage LED lighting system also adds to the curb appeal of this historic property. The Bridgeton Park & Zoo and downtown are within walking distance of this historic neighborhood. A must see for any early home enthusiast!
