About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to this absolutely charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow which has been lovingly maintained located in the heart of downtown Swarthmore. Step inside through a stunning original mission-style wood front door and be captivated by the open floor plan that effortlessly combines elegance and functionality. The living area, accentuated by the stunning wood floors and a coffered ceiling, features a lovely fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, while architectural leaded windows add a touch of timeless beauty.
The living and dining areas are gracefully divided by low built-in shelves with leaded glass cabinet doors, enhancing the home's character. Adjacent to the dining area, you'll find a versatile den with a large closet and additional storage, perfect for a variety of uses. A private office at the rear of the house offers seclusion and boasts a deep closet for your organizational needs. The recently renovated full bath on the main floor adds modern convenience, while the charming European-style kitchen is a culinary delight, complete with a breakfast peninsula, ample counter space, and a well-designed pantry area. A door from the kitchen leads to the outdoors, making collecting herbs or grilling dinner an easy task. The second floor is home to three generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. One of the bedrooms conveniently adjoins the hall bath, providing added functionality. The second floor also features wonderful storage options and delightful architectural details, including transom windows above the doors and a charming series of windows overlooking the front of the house. The expansive basement, with its own outside access, is a true highlight. It includes a laundry area, workshop space, and abundant storage options, offering endless possibilities for customization and use. In addition there is a fabulous 2-car detached garage which for Swarthmore in particular is a huge added bonus!
This delightful home combines classic charm with modern amenities, making it a perfect blend of comfort and style in a prime location. Just a couple of blocks from the coffee shops and retail of downtown Swarthmore as well as the SEPTA rail line into Philadelphia! Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
