Tabula rasa. Blank slate. Introducing 211 Fern, a solidly-built home in a coveted neighborhood ready for you to make it your own. The owners purchased this home in 2005, but never got around to updating the kitchen and baths. The paint and some floors could also use a refresh. The HVAC (heating and cooling) was redone in 2013, however, and the owners are offering a one-year home warranty. This is your chance to get a brick home with steel beam construction and original hardwood floors, but still have the fun of choosing your colors, your kitchen layout, your taste. The bones are great, the room sizes suitable. There’s an amazing outdoor living room in the form of a screened-in rear deck. This 3-season space with room for sitting and dining areas was the owners’ happy place. Walk downtown frequently for dinner, shopping or brunch. Exercise at the Cooper River or walk to the PATCO Speedline for the 12-16-minute commute to Philly. The train runs 24 hours and comes every 6 minutes during rush hours. About the home: The living room has original wood floors and a wood-burning fireplace with built-in shelving. The dining room is central to the home. The den-cum-home office has wraparound walls of 11 Anderson wood windows, exposed brick and half-cathedral ceilings. The kitchen needs a full remodel -- let’s be honest, but there’s a type of mortgage for that! FHA 203k or conventional rehab -- just ask your lender or agent! There is a powder room area with exposed brick and skylight and a skinny pantry area. Two back doors allow for circular flow when entertaining. There is an uncovered portion of the deck for your BBQ grill and an amazing rear lawn and an awesome shed. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a bath. Like the kitchen, the bath needs your designer eye to bring it into 2022. The attic has been converted to a proper fourth bedroom with full-size window, extra air conditioning and storage galore. The owner used this as his reading nook. The basement is large, but should really be waterproofed as we live in an area known for having a high water table. About Fern Avenue: This neighborhood is believed to have been built circa 1942 by Earl Lippincott, who also developed Erlton, Cherry Hill. While not a part of the Bluebird Community Club, this Bluebird-adjacent neighborhood is nonetheless commonly included as part of the desirable Bluebird neighborhood of Haddon Township by Realtors and townspeople alike. 211 Fern is the larger model that was built and features a large and lush green front lawn with sycamore tree. New steps and landscaping were installed in 2020. The garage is small, but the double-wide driveway fits 4 cars easily. Get to the backyard from either side. About Haddon Township: The Haddon Township-Collingswood area (08108 zip code) has become the hottest zip code in South Jersey for real estate. The restaurants are to die for. What the owners have to say: We have loved living here. This block is amazing and the neighbors become your family.
