About This Home
Welcome to 3816 Swarthmore Road - a home that's as stylish as it is versatile, and as welcoming as it is well-located. The kitchen is a showstopper, with stainless steel appliances, gleaming quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and an open flow to the living area perfect for keeping the conversation going while dinner's on. In the living room, a statement fireplace takes center stage, while your eyes are drawn toward views of the expansive backyard. The primary suite? Let's just say it's huge—with a luxurious walk-in shower to match. The flexible floor plan adapts to your life, whether you need room for guests, hobbies, or a quiet workspace. Outside, the backyard is ready for good times: plenty of privacy, space for play, and a lower-level hot tub (new in 2022) for evenings soaking up the bubbles watching your favorite movie. Bonus: the oversized lot has the ideal layout for an ADU or that dream outbuilding you've been sketching on napkins. And when it's time to venture out, you're just minutes from Woodcroft Shopping Center: home to creative coffee drinks, local brews, and plenty of great eats. Around here, the only thing missing is you!
