About This Home
As of September 2019You can't beat this location! Imagine being able to walk to the Library, Markets and shops, the Philly train in minutes! The Swarthmore Elementary school is close by as well, making the walkable commute to school a pleasant one. And you can't beat the condition at 235 Park either. Looking for High Ceilings, Spacious rooms and Updated features? Look no more. With turn of the Century detailing, and 2019 updating this 1890s Victorian is up to the standards of today. A coveted wrap around Porch sets the stage, as you enter. A pleasant and tranquil Parlor is off the Foyer, with a lovely fireplace. A wide Archway leads to the Living Room, with big Bay windows overlooking the Side Yard. This flows in the Formal Dining Room with plenty of light as well. A perfectly placed Powder Room is down the Hall which leads to the Kitchen. Featuring Granite counters, newer Stainless Steel appliances, recessed lighting and plenty of room for the Gourmet Cook, the Kitchen is so warm and inviting and open to the Great Room: a space for Dining and Family Time with Vaulted ceilings and access to two joined elevated Back Decks: the upper being a perfect spot for grilling. Take the Front or Back Stairs to the sunny and clean 2nd floor. The back Bedroom is currently used as an office; it's a perfect quiet spot that can be converted back with ease. The Hall Bath is a wonder for this age home. It's been totally renovated with a large Stall Shower. There are 3 more bedrooms on this floor. On the 3rd floor there is another Hall Bath; so nicely done with the Claw foot tub converted to include a shower. A Storage room. A lovely 5th bedroom, perfectly decorated with painted wood floor. And lastly, the front room is used as an exercise room. It could easily be a 6th bedroom if needed. Dry and clean with access to the attached Garage (a rarity in Swarthmore), the basement has room for plenty of storage and a pleasant Laundry area. The Back Yard is deep, landscaped and private. Central Air. Gas Heat. Both, along with new hot water heater, installed in last 2 years. Hardwood Flooring.Emergency generator panel with natural gas generator. You'll not only enjoy the proximity to the town of Swarthmore, but I95 and 476, the Philadelphia International Airport, and Wilmington are close as well. Blue Ribbon Wallingford-Swarthmore Schools.
