Welcome to The Godfrey House on West Walnut Avenue, one of Merchantville’s most coveted streets, nestled in the heart of their historic Cattell Tract district. This remarkable Folk Victorian, built in 1891, is ready for just its sixth owner and offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern updates. This home has four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, which provide comfort and functionality alongside its historic charm. With its original clapboard siding, a durable asphalt roof installed in 2009, and a stunning mahogany wrap-around porch rebuilt in 2013, this home exudes character and strong craftsmanship. Passing through the front gate, step onto the inviting front porch and enter through the classic wooden French doors into the foyer, where you'll be greeted by the first of two all-natural wooden staircases. This home retains its old-world charm throughout, featuring 9-foot ceilings, custom wooden blinds, rich hardwood floors, and untouched, first-floor natural wood trim. The dining room features suspended stained glass windows that add a touch of color and artistry to the space, while a roomy, yet cozy kitchen and extended living room offer endless possibilities. Recent upgrades include a modern heating and cooling system (about 5 years old), and a professionally waterproofed full basement. The electrical system has been upgraded to 200 amp service and all new PVC plumbing t/o, ensuring reliable plumbing and long-term durability. Conveniently located, Merchantville Elementary is just a ten-minute walk through the center of town, perfect for young families. The bus for Haddon Heights High School picks up at the end of the block, helping make school mornings a breeze! Situated on a generous .34-acre lot, this property offers plenty of outdoor living and enjoyment space. The ivy-covered wrought iron fence frames the front yard, while the spacious, fenced backyard is an ideal setting for relaxation and play. Here, you'll find a charming tree swing, a detached garage, and a brick patio with a fire pit, ideal for evening gatherings. The long driveway offers ample parking and access to the garage, providing both convenience and privacy. Rich in history and brimming with charm, the Godfrey House is a truly special place to call home. Although the property in very good condition, the Seller is selling it in "as-is" condition. Buyer responsible for C/O.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
