Every once in a while, a great home with an amazing location comes available~Welcome to 1 East Prospect Ave! This gracious home has been thoughtfully updated while keeping the dignity of its original roots with all the charm of yesteryear! William Matlack~s ~Small House~ was built in 1912 as noted in the book ~Tricentennial Reflections on Moorestown, 1880-1912~ which shows the beautiful home looking as it does today. The prime corner lot is one block from Main street and features abundant curb appeal including a sweeping front lawn, original shutters, 50 ft wrap around mahogany welcoming porch, private fenced side yard and detached two car garage. The grand foyer welcomes you into the home where the gracious staircase can be viewed all the way to the third floor. The first-floor features include wood floors throughout, 9~ ceilings and custom trim. The formal living room boasts a corner fireplace and custom built-in corner cabinet in addition to built-in bookcases that flank the front window. The generous dining room, with corner cupboard, is a great place for those special meals with family and friends. The kitchen has 2 distinct areas, the butlers pantry (8x7) and the larger kitchen area (14x9) that offers an abundance of counter space, stainless steel appliances, and views of the fenced-in backyard. A back staircase is located close to the kitchen. Close by is the family room and office with original wood floors under the carpeting. A very large laundry/mudroom allows direct access to the charming screen porch that offers beautiful, custom, glass window panels for the colder seasons. The second floor is home to the master bedroom with en-suite bath and three additional bedrooms that share a hall bath. All the rooms are ample in size and feature wood flooring beneath the carpeting.
