701 STOKES AVENUE

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ 08108

There are homes that quietly blend into a street, and then there are the ones that define it. Set behind a classic picket fence, 701 Stokes Avenue is one of those rare Collingswood residences that has long captured attention, a historic home originally designed and built by a British sea captain in the late 1800s, rich with preserved character and thoughtful updates. The approach sets the tone, with a welcoming front porch framed by detailed Victorian woodwork, double entry doors with beveled glass, and original brass hardware that speaks to the home’s heritage. Inside, a grand foyer unfolds with a striking black-and-white marble floor and an elegant staircase that immediately anchors the space. To the right, the living room is filled with natural light from a bay window and features oak flooring and a gas fireplace. To the left, a generously sized dining room mirrors that same architectural charm, with its own bay window and an arched transition into the kitchen. The kitchen blends old and new with ease, offering marble countertops, a white farmhouse sink, refreshed cabinetry, and a distinctive copper ceiling that adds warmth and texture, alongside preserved period details. A side door leads to a deck, backyard access, and convenient off-street parking, while a subtle interior opening draws your eye toward the rear of the home. Back through the main hall, a built-in bar tucked beneath the staircase adds a functional and inviting touch for entertaining. This level also includes a full bathroom, access to the unfinished basement, and a cozy rear living space (which we are affectionately calling "the snug") along with a spacious mudroom and laundry area that provide everyday practicality with direct outdoor access. Upstairs, original flooring continues throughout the second level, where two bedrooms sit at the front of the home, and a family bathroom at the rear. The second floor landing has access to a small balcony that brings in natural light and offers a quiet outdoor moment. The primary suite is set privately on one wing of the home; featuring a large bedroom, a large walk-through closet, and an adjoining flex space well-suited for a home office, library, or sitting room, leading into an updated ensuite bath with a floating vanity and classic white tile. The third floor expands the home even further, offering an additional living area, a fourth bedroom, and access to attic storage. With its layered living spaces, preserved architectural detail, and a setting in one of Collingswood’s most established neighborhoods, this is a home that offers both presence and flexibility in equal measure. Schedule your private tour to experience it in person.
