About This Home

Beautiful, sun filled spacious colonial on leafy tree lined street in sought after Swarthmore within walking distance to its charming downtown. The local elementary school, Swarthmore College and the train into Philadelphia are also just a few minutes walk away. A large entry foyer greets you as you enter the home. Plenty of room to spread out and live here! An oversized living room to the left, complete with a fireplace, runs from the front of the house all the way to the back. The large kitchen has a new cooktop and 2 separate sinks making prepping for meals a dream. Directly off the kitchen is a new deck with retractable awning perfect for summer meals and entertaining. The large dining room has built-in cabinets and plenty of room for hosting big gatherings. The roomy family room with a second fireplace has a back staircase leading to a loft (perfect for an office) and the bedrooms. Off the loft is a large guest bedroom with ensuite bath. The master bedroom is huge with a large walk-in closet/dressing area, ensuite bath and small sunny alcove perfect for a quite reading nook. No shortage of storage in this home! A large floored, walk up attic and massive basement provide enough space for all of life's extras. Enjoy idyllic Swarthmore and all it has to offer; seasonal farmer's market, Swarthmore College and Scott Arboretum, public library and all its wonderful shops & restaurants. Located just 30 minutes by train from Center City, 15 minutes to the Philadelphia Airport and minutes to route 476 & I-95.
