About This Home

As of November 2022

On a classic tree-lined street, just one block from Swarthmore town center, a spacious Victorian twin awaits. Step inside for a taste of the high ceilings, classic bullseye molding and refinished hardwood floors found throughout the first floor. The living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. A spacious and sunny family room with an exposed stone wall and more charming built-ins will be the setting for so many happy memories. French doors from the family room lead out to the secluded side patio, overlooking the lawn. The formal dining room offers plenty of space for entertaining and even more built-ins under a bank of picturesque lattice windows. The kitchen is sunny and spacious with granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, as well as a quintessential triple window view from the sink. Next to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry with ample shelving for storage. A full hall bath completes the first floor. Built-ins, pretty views, and all the classic nooks and crannies abound upstairs. The second floor includes three bedrooms, and a full hall bath. The primary bedroom offers a roomy, recently installed closet. The third floor boasts two more bedrooms and an unfinished attic storage space. Outside, a just-right sized lawn is home to a handy storage shed. Sit out on the brick patio to sip coffee in the morning and watch the fireflies at night. Sensible upgrades include recent rewiring, as well as dual-zoned Central Air and a recently installed boiler and roof. With character-filled spaces both inside and out, 128 Rutgers Avenue has so much to offer for living, working and studying from the comfort of home. The airport is just twenty minutes away by car. A block from the front door, Swarthmore village shops, library, college campus and the train line to Philadelphia all await your next adventure.
