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.
