About This Home
As of June 2014You know it as "Swarthmore Hills" however this home was one of the first homes built on "Riverview Farm" in 1941. The drive shows on the attached plot plan as Wellesley Road, but was referred to, years ago, as "Dairy Lane" because it led to the dairy barn on Riverview Road. The winding slate walkway leads to this stately stone colonial circa 1941 with 5-6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Spacious living room with fireplace, deep window sills, chair rails, crown molding and hardwood floors all speak to a time when homes were built as homes not as production line McMansions? A large picture window in the formal dining room ensures copious amounts of natural light as well as the picture window and skylights in the fam room which is open into the eat-in kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen is the gathering place and a breakfast bar at the center island accommodates the crowd. Cherry wood cabinets, Corian countertops, recessed lights, built in Sub-Zero refrigerator, and breakfast room. The en suite master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and fireplace make this an oasis. Third floor is a delight with an ample bedroom and full bath. The surprise of the magnificent home is the huge bedroom and full bath over the 2 car plus garage! This fantastic room has a vaulted ceiling, palladium windows which allow light to come streaming in and would make for a great studio space also?
