Property Description
This home features multiple inviting entrances. Follow the curved stone paver path to the front foyer—an ideal spot for pausing after a day at the Swarthmore Swim Club or kicking off your shoes after enjoying Don Henderson Field. Prefer a more casual entry? The covered side veranda leads into a charming mudroom-style area complete with a built-in bench, shoe storage, and ample hooks for coats. Just off this entry, you'll find a stylish powder room with classic wainscoting and a custom marble countertop.
Step down into the spacious family room featuring vaulted ceilings, a gas (propane) fireplace, ceiling fan, and large windows that frame views of the serene outdoors. Adjacent to this space is a light-filled breakfast room with skylight and sliding glass doors that lead to a composite deck—perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the fenced backyard.
The kitchen is a chef's dream, offering high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous soapstone countertops for all your culinary creations. The formal dining room, with its built-in shelving and access to the side veranda, provides an elegant setting for gatherings and meals.
At the front of the home, behind a beautiful glass pocket door, is a versatile sitting room or formal living room with built-in bookshelves—an ideal retreat to read or unwind while enjoying the view of open green space and the fragrance of the lilac bushes.
Upstairs, the second level features two bedrooms and a spacious hall bathroom with ceramic tile flooring, tub/shower surround, a large vanity, pantry closet, and convenient stacked laundry with extra storage. The third level is a true retreat—a light-filled bedroom with skylights, ample storage, and its own mini-split system for year-round comfort.
The lower basement level houses the home's mechanicals and additional storage space.
And there's more—step outside to discover a unique bonus: a converted garage that now serves as a flexible accessory building, perfect for a home office, gym, studio, or creative space. It features LVP flooring, electric baseboard heat, and window A/C.
The fully fenced backyard offers space for play and relaxation with a playset, geo dome, and a dedicated garden area with gardening beds—ideal for growing your own fruits and vegetables.
Location-wise, it doesn't get better than this. Swarthmore is known for its vibrant community, access to regional rail, and proximity to both Philadelphia and Wilmington. Enjoy local dining, charming shops, and a calendar full of community events including fairs, parades, and markets.
