824 Colford Ave has been lovingly maintained by its original owners since its construction in 1955 by the Rudderow family, renowned for building many of the neighborhood’s beautifully crafted homes. This brick exterior 4 bedroom, 2 full bathroom property is full of character, starting at the lovely covered front porch. Step inside the Dutch front door to discover original wood flooring, including hardwood downstairs and hidden hardwood beneath the upstairs carpet, waiting to be revealed to its new owners. The home's warm atmosphere is highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, which features a large front window flooding the space with natural light. A coat closet is also conveniently located at the entry. The cozy dining room, which can easily accommodate seating for six, leads into the eat-in kitchen, with a side access door to the backyard. The current primary bedroom is located on the main floor, with a ceiling fan, double closets, and room for a king-sized bed. The second bedroom, a full bathroom with classic 4x4 tile, and two large storage closets complete this level. Upstairs is home to the 3rd bedroom with built-in shelves and hardwood flooring. Walk through a den space with its own closet to reach the 4th bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet, single closet, and ensuite bathroom. As the den space was previously used as a 5th bedroom, this offers a great opportunity to create a spacious upstairs primary suite. The basement has room for plenty of storage, and includes a french drain and sump pump system providing peace of mind. This home also has a hardwired security system. Outside, the front yard includes a sprinkler system. The long driveway featuring an exterior drain leads to a large detached garage and a flat backyard. The backyard backs up to the middle school and high school ball fields, and is a great viewing spot for 4th of July fireworks! Nestled between the walking paths and playgrounds of Newton Lake, and the baseball fields of Knight Park, the walkability of this location can’t be beat! Enjoy all that downtown Collingswood has to offer, with eclectic shops and restaurants, as well as the PATCO train station making commuting a breeze. Visit the Saturday morning farmer’s market, and enjoy the dozens of events and festivals organized by the town throughout the year. Some local favorites include Haddon Culinary, the Pop Shop, Sabrina’s Cafe, Ocassionette, Villa Barone, and so much more. As a Collingswood gem that has been treasured by the Rudderow family, this home is waiting for its new owners to create lifelong memories and make it their own! |
