About This Home

As of December 2019

AMAZING NEW PRICE!!!! This STUNNING Turner-built classic Swarthmore home is now at a sensible price! This 6+ BR/3.5 BA home was built like a fortress with thick walls, high ceilings and large rooms. There are porches in both front and back, patios and balconies - allowing for great outdoor dining and taking in the fresh air! There are an abundance of architectural details throughout marking it's early period - pocket doors, Mercer tile, charming fireplaces, hardwood floors (some covered by carpet), built-ins and many more! The house has been lovingly maintained even in it's dated state - newer windows throughout, newer Heater, skylights, and more! It's proximity to downtown Swarthmore, commerce and the train, can't be beat and wonderful to be on a corner property to easily stroll the lovely tree-lined neighborhood! Offers will be accepted starting Sept 16th!
