141 Chestnut Street

Description

On a beautiful, quiet street close to wonderful downtown Moorestown sits 141 Chestnut St, a home offering the charm, location, and character many buyers look for. Sitting on over a half-acre a short walk from downtown, this lovely home was built in the early 1900 by renowned builder Steward Maines. A brick walkway leads you around the corner to the front of the home where a beautiful covered front porch greets you before you enter the main foyer. Take a minute to admire the outside where your will find double think brick walls, slate roof, and copper gutters. From the foyer are views of the beautiful staircase, the sun-drenched living room with beautiful fireplace, deep windowsill, and an abundance of windows and to the other side of the foyer sits the large dining room that offers 2 beautiful leaded glass corner cabinets. A wonderful room to host holiday gatherings or intimate dinner parties. From the dining room you have access to the butler's pantry and kitchen on one side and the Conservatory addition from the other sides. Such a great flow when entertaining! Thoughtfully planned, the custom Conservatory was designed by Tanglewood Conservatories in conjunction with architect Neil Johnson and builder Craig Lord. The Conservatory offers heights from 12 to 17 feet and was constructed of 1-inch thick glass and Honduras Teak wood with a tinted glass roof. Beautiful slate radiant heat floors warm this space while double glass doors lead outside to a large bluestone patio and connecting walkway. Truly an amazing one-of-a-kind room that offers incredible views of the wonderful deep yard. The back foyer/mudroom was added at the same time as the Conservatory and offers a beautiful space to enter from the back of the house keeping the same radiant heat floors as well as including a built-in bench, brick wall, floor to ceiling windows with transoms, double glass doors to the outside, and open staircase to the finished basement. Easy access is provided from the back foyer into the kitchen. The eating area was a great addition surrounded by large windows offering tons of natural light. A beautiful copper roof was added over the eating area and back foyer. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous center island and access to the butler's pantry are some of the items this kitchen offers. In the back of the home beyond the main staircase is a lovely office with built-in bookcases. The first-floor powder room is also tucked away in this area. The second level offers 3 of the 4 bedrooms which includes the master bedroom with a large master bath renovation done by Craig Lord that offers radiant heat floors, seam shower, double vanity, and tumbled marble floor. 2 very generous guest rooms share a very large bath that is charming. Going up you will find and additional bedroom and full bath as well as a huge laundry room that was once the 5th bedroom. This can easily be converted back to the 5th bedroom and relocate the laundry to its original location. The finished lower level renovation was done by Craig Lord which included removing the old floor, adding radiant heat, new concrete with tile flooring and a half bath. There is a large unfinished area for additional storage. The outdoor space is lovely and deep offering a 2-car detached garage, beautiful bluestone patio, large landscaped yard, and fenced in 25x90 dog run with tons of trees for shade! Builder, Craig Lord has won the highly coveted National Chrysalis Award for both the Conservatory and the Master Bath. This is a home were great memories are made and shared
