Located in Bridgeton’s Historic District, this solid brick 1865 Victorian offers the best of both worlds: vintage character and modern amenities. Walk through the stately front door and step back in time to an era of unmatched craftsmanship. Original Historic Features Include: Slate roof & Yankee gutters, 10+ foot ceilings & 9-foot oak 6-panel interior doors, pattern-inlaid oak floors & ceiling medallions, brass & crystal light fixtures, period wallpaper accents, built-in bookshelves & glass-front curio cabinets, crown & shadowbox molding, chair rails & wainscoting, wood-burning fireplaces & ornate cast-iron radiators, transom windows, and interior wooden storm shutters.
 Modern Updates & Infrastructure: 200 amp electrical service, 2 yr old water heater, 2-zone gas boilers, detached 2 car garage with electricity (as-is condition). Spacious Three-Story Layout! First Floor: A foyer with a grand staircase leads to a formal parlor, featuring a working wood-burning fireplace and crystal chandelier. The library/sitting room boasts a decorative electric fireplace and built-ins. The formal dining room includes a "secret" pass-through to the functional kitchen (equipped with a double sink, dishwasher, and pantry and access to back door, basement, and back staircase). A bright breakfast room, a full bath with tub/shower, and a tiled half-bath complete this level. Second Floor: Highly versatile layout featuring a second full kitchen, a half-bath, and 3 large rooms, any of which could be used as bedrooms. These include the "Butterfly" room with rear staircase access, the "Plaid" room with the home's second working wood-burning fireplace, and the massive "Yellow" room. Perfect set-up for multi-generational living. Third Floor: A more private level offering 2 nicely sized bedrooms with window A/C units and built in storage & closets, a shared full bath with a stall shower, and access to the finished (unheated) attic space. Basement & Grounds: The full, brick-floored basement houses utilities and laundry, ample shelving, multiple “rooms��, and outside Bilco door access. Outside, the tranquil backyard offers hardscape areas & pathways, mature landscaping, a water feature, and driveway access with plenty of parking. Unbeatable Location & Bonus Land: Walk to Historic Downtown Bridgeton, NJ Transit, and GBAT bus lines. You are just a 5-minute drive from the 1,100-acre Bridgeton City Park along the Cohansey River - home to walking trails & outdoor exercise areas, 4 picnic areas, playing fields, basketball & tennis courts, Sunset Lake swimming beach & Amphitheater, the New Jersey All Sports Museum & Hall of Fame, and a 7,500 square-foot Splash Park next to the Cohanzick Zoo. Best of all, this property is being conveyed with two additional lots. Currently zoned residential, but previously housed a doctor's office, so has the potential for multi-use zoning. The extraordinary "Shoemaker House" is chock-full of potential and is awaiting a savvy buyer eager to continue restoring it to its original glory!
