Bellmawr's Million Dollar Home

Where do you find the most expensive homes in Camden County? Haddonfield, Cherry Hill?

Well how about Bellmawr?!

Since the fall of last year, a newer construction home has been on the market in Bellmawr... currently listed at $1,280,000!!

Count the commas and number places. That's ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND!!

Heck.. drop the price a million bucks and its still one of the most expensive homes in town!

Now to be fair, the property is listed as being zoned Business A District, which has changed somewhat recently and apparently has boosted the value significantly. But I know definitely that this building was initially built as a residence, and some time within the last few years the property was rezoned to business. Even the tax records from 2006 list this address as Residential.

Also, it is a monster-sized home, listed at 6900 sq ft, with a full finished basement and huge three car garage. As a comparison, based on square footage this home is almost SEVEN times larger than the ranchers located in the development across from St Mary's Cemetery.
Mertz Commercial Realty is handling the sale, and according to the floor plans available on their website, the home features: A large entry foyer, Living Room, Dining Room, Laundry, Guest Bedroom, a Great room with an open two-story ceiling, a separate Study, a HUGE Kitchen, a three car garage... and all that is just on the FIRST FLOOR!

The second floor has 4 bedrooms (that's 5 total) including a monstrous Master Bedroom with a bathroom the size of most Bellmawr Kitchens and a walk-in closet. Another interesting feature is the Master Bedroom "wing" is separated by what looks to be a bridge... one side of the walkway looks down over the large foyer, and the other side looks over the Great Room!

Plus a finished basement!

The listing is available at the Mertz Site

And a PDF is available that includes the floorplan is available here.

It doesnt seem like anyone ever really lived in the house. I wonder why they had it built?
