Welcome to one of Merchantville's most beautiful and unique homes!
Named “Nethusa” for the combination of Dutch and American design, it was custom-built in 1909 with state-of-the-art amenities for a top executive of the Victor Victrola Company. This 5 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath residence has been lovingly and meticulously maintained over the last century plus and the pride of ownership shines throughout.
The tiled center foyer entry with closets and half bath leads into the expansive and impressive formal living room with large brick fireplace, built-in shelving and bench, exposed beams and a dining alcove with built-in seating and table. The formal dining room features a fireplace, built-in sideboard and double china closets, and a warming cabinet connected to the Eat-In Kitchen. The kitchen features a granite countertop, built-in hutch, pantry closet, dumbwaiter to the basement and an alcove. The Family Room has been enlarged and has a corner gas fireplace and overlooks the brick patio and lovely yard and gardens.
The second floor features a huge Master Bedroom with sitting area, private bath, 3 closets, a nursery room and an enclosed porch. A second bedroom, used as a sitting room, features a fireplace and balcony overlooking the yard. A full bathroom and an additional bedroom complete this floor.
The third floor has two ample bedrooms, an abundance of closet space and a “hidden” children's playroom.
A huge basement and attached garage provide additional storage space to the numerous closets (23!) in this home.
Located on a tree-lined street, the property is conveniently located within walking distance to downtown shopping and dining, schools, parks and churches; and just minutes driving to the Philadelphia bridges.
Property is being sold in as-is, but excellent condition.
This truly is a one-of-a-kind home and was once featured in “Country Life In America” magazine! It needs to be toured in person to appreciate all of the amenities, too numerous to list, that this property boasts.
