85 N Evergreen Ave, Woodbury, NJ 08096

CIRCA 1880 Prominent 3-story Colonial set back on a private drive off one of Woodbury's prettiest streets ? one of the few South Jersey properties where you can enjoy history both inside and out! Part of the Green Era Historic District, this home sits on a beautiful landscaped lot with old-growth Rhododendrons and towering Evergreens, Magnolia, Dogwood and Japanese maple trees. A vintage cast iron gas street lamp (now electric) from Penna Globe Gas Light Co of Philadelphia, the oldest manufacturer in the U.S., illuminates your path along the slate front walkway toward a covered solid mahogany porch. There, the original front door, with intricate cast bronze knocker, opens onto a massive foyer with original hardwood flooring and inlaid mahogany border that extends throughout the main AND 2nd levels! The front parlor features crown molding, a 3-bay window seat with storage and 2 double plantation doors overlooking the front porch and yard. The adjacent den, with ceiling fan, recessed lighting and extra closets, has 2 doors opening onto the screened-in side porch that overlooks a mahogany deck and Saratoga Spa hot tub. The dining and kitchen area does not disappoint, with wood burning fireplace, timeless cobblestone hearth, random width pine flooring and a state-of-the-art kitchen that mindfully blends into this historic beauty! Granite counters and a rustic tile back splash surround the extra deep stainless steel sink and new Frigidaire Galley gas range with convection oven and continuous cook surface. The large pantry closet and solid cherry Heritage cabinets with vintage bubble glass doors and pull out shelves offer plenty of storage. Ascend the rear service stairs to the 2nd floor master retreat with porcelain barn wood tile flooring, double farm sink and claw foot tub, where you can overlook the Japanese maple and take in the Zen. The Master bedroom cathedral ceiling with exposed beams gives an airy feeling. The 2nd level offers 2 more massive bedrooms and another full bathroom with glass-enclosed shower. Finished walk-up 3rd level has 2 more rooms for your imagination! Back outdoors, pass through an iron gate to find stone and brick pathways meandering around the fenced-in backyard's wildflower garden, rose bushes, quaint potting shed and raised plant bed ready for your vegetable garden. With an easy commute to Philadelphia, Wilmington and Cherry Hill, this former country home has it all, combining the best of suburban and city life! 2018-10-19
