43 Franklin Dr,Bridgeton NJ - Active

This stately Bridgeton home, built in 1925, has been thoughtfully updated over the past 20 years. Park in the circular driveway and notice that this home is perfect for all of your gatherings with plenty of parking and entertaining space both inside and out. Step into the oversized foyer and take note of the beautiful staircase to the upper levels. Turn right into the Formal Dining Room with hardwood flooring and room enough for all of your formal dinners. The butler's pantry with wine bar separates the dining room from the kitchen, which has been expanded and renovated! The kitchen features cherry cabinets, granite counters, a center island with sink, and plenty of cabinet space! You have room to cook and visit at the same time! As you proceed through the first floor you will find an office with built in shelving--perfect for working from home. You will also find a recreation room overlooking the back patio (more on that later!). As you return to the front of the home, enter the formal living room with hardwood flooring and a fireplace with a gas insert (formerly wood burning). This room is large enough for your furnishings and a piano! Upstairs you will find that one side of the 2nd floor contains the main bedroom with attached bathroom and a walk in closet that was formerly the nursery. In addition, there are two more bedrooms plus a full bath as well as a storage closet to complete the second floor. Ascend the staircase to the 3rd floor and find a private retreat with a bedroom, sitting area, bathroom and a cedar closet. In addition, there is storage space on the 3rd level. Return downstairs to the basement that houses the utilities and the laundry area, yet still leaves room for an exercise or hobby area. The basement has both inside and outside entrances. Last but certainly not least, head out back to the EP Henry Patio and enjoy a view not seen by many! The patio provides space for outside entertainment with seating areas, a grill area, and both an upper and lower patio overlooking the Raceway. You will enjoy a park-like atmosphere while having the convenience of public water, sewer and natural gas! Prequalified buyers--schedule your tour today!
