About This Home

As of September 2023

Built in 1902, this very charming, sun-filled cedar home is situated in one of the best locations in Swarthmore – just one block from town and the train station! This TURN-KEY home has many wonderful features from a gorgeous new kitchen to beautiful landscaping and substantial, smart, high-end updates throughout. As you enter the home via the Sun Room, you will be greeted by the character and thoughtful design of the home. A coat closet and custom window bench with storage allows toys, games, crafts, and books to be tucked away. The spacious Dining Room follows and has lovely built-ins and east facing sun. The Living Room offers a ventless gas fireplace, wiring for TV above the white brick fireplace, and gorgeous floors. The 2021 fully-renovated Kitchen features a Quartz countertop, custom white cabinets, hardwood flooring, and all new stainless steel appliances. A convenient first-floor Laundry Room/Mud Room is tucked off the Kitchen and leads to a simply stunning Full Bath with rain shower head, frameless glass shower door, and skylight. An outside entrance to the fenced in yard offers Deck and Patio space for entertaining as well as full weather-proof storage underneath.Three large Bedrooms with well-sized closets are on the second floor. There is an expanded Hall Bath with double vanity and tub and lovely subway tile on the second floor as well. The Primary Bedroom has a bump-out that is perfect for a home office or exercise bike, and also has a door that leads to a spacious attic space - just waiting for your imagination! The attic can be finished and used for an Office, Play Room or simply additional storage space. Bonus!!! The full Basement allows for plenty of storage, a Play Area, workbench, extra washer/dryer, and even space for an Office. Many wonderful upgrades and improvements throughout, from the adorable Greenroof over the addition to custom window treatments, dual-zone air conditioning and an all new gas furnace (2021). Town, train, and the award-winning Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School/Playground are just steps away. 205 Dartmouth is also walking distance to the local Swim Club, Swarthmore College Campus, several parks, and the Swarthmore Co-Op! Located just twenty minutes by car to downtown Philadelphia and 15 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport, it is an ideal location. Do not miss the opportunity to own this very special home. Showings start Thursday, August 10.
