Property Description
Own a piece of history along with this stunning 1930 Tudor Revival situated in Morris Heights at Graystones, what is now the northeast corner at Crown Street and Highland Avenue, and be apart of where William Penn met with members of the Lenape Indian tribe under a white oak tree in 1682 to negotiate the first land-purchase survey in Pennsylvania. The white oak tree is no longer there however, large rocks that stood nearby remain within six-acres of woods. They are the only remaining landmark showing where Penn made the purchase. The site is said to be named after the extraordinary outcropping of gray bedrock which protrudes from the ground at the northwest end of the site. 840 Highland Ave is flanked by this gray rock on either front side of the property. The gated portico leads way to the entrance of this home. The open foyer features hardwood floors, double closets, and leads to the wide open stairway to the upper levels. An updated half bath is also located off the foyer. To the left of the foyer is a formal living room with a fireplace and built-ins. Adjacent to the living room is a sunroom/family room area which leads to the wrap around deck. The formal dining room offering a fireplace is to the right of the foyer and adjacent to the breakfast room and kitchen. The updated kitchen features marble counter-tops, a Bertazzoni 6 burner range, Viking DW, SubZero Refrig and much more. The upper level of this home features a master bedroom with full bath, and four additional bedrooms. The remodeled common bath features an over sized, tumbled marble, walk-in shower. The third floor offers unfinished attic space available for your imagination. A bonus room/sutdio has it's own stairway off the kitchen to the upper level. Other fine features include: attached 2 car garage with newer barn style wood doors, Belgian block double wide driveway, basement laundry area, walk out basement, wrap around deck, beautiful landscaped and natural landscaped yards. DO NOT MISS your opportunity to purchase this home and enjoy the surrounding landscape and easy access to major highways, NJTrain, Delaware Canal Path, and so much more.
