About This Home

As of July 2015

Charming bungalow that offers lifestyle, space, upgrades and more. Close to all that Swarthmore has to offer - pool, library, train, shopping, grocery and dining - yet with a fraction of the taxes! So pretty, with an open floor plan and great flow. Covered front porch leads to an open living room with fireplace, connecting to the large dining room. Beautiful hardwood floors and trim throughout. Kitchen has great work space and leads to the family room. In the back of the first floor are the mud room and adjoining laundry room. Completing the first floor is a newly renovated full bath and a 4th bedroom that has a multitude of uses: bedroom, office, playroom... whatever suits your needs. Upstairs is a renovated master bedroom with dressing suite. Also upstairs are two more generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The basement with outdoor access has been finished. Outside you are in for a real treat - a large deck with ample seating and a hot tub, all overlooking a gorgeous back yard, with grassy lawn and garden areas, a new play set and storage shed and a one car garage. The electrical system has been updated, the roof has been replaced, the dual zone HVAC is new and the property is oh so lovely. You are home!
