Imagination, Vision, and a willing desire to Completely Renovate are must for this Queen Anne Victorian! This will be no easy task, but the Reward can be Amazing!! This historic corner property, offers the epitome of downtown Merchantville living. Facing a landmark 1800's train station - now housing a coffee shop and arts center, and catty-corner from the bustling Blue Monkey Tavern, you'll enjoy front porch views of the center of town events including the town's famous car show, birthday celebrations, seasonal farmers market, spring and fall beer festivals, live music, and so much more! Originally Constructed in 1888, this home has once been a duplex, now back to a single family with residential/business zoning (zoned B2 called Neighborhood business, buyer responsible for verification of use). Lots of original details still exist including 9+ foot ceilings, pocket doors, vestibule entryway, and gingerbread trim. Needs a complete makeover, being sold strictly as-is. Lots of visible knob and tube, may need complete rewire. Basement has dirt floor, 3rd floor has partitioned rooms but no electric! Off-street parking, rear porch, 2nd floor balcony off of bedroom, separate stairwell to kitchen still in existence but closed off at 2nd floor hallway, main floor laundry, main floor den has non-functioning gas fireplace, massive original windows, decorative exterior fencing, stained and leaded glass and so much more to discover! Use caution when touring home.
