About This Home
As of June 2025Situated a short walk from idyllic downtown Swarthmore and historic Swarthmore College, 419 Yale Ave is a pridefully maintained 3-story Victorian that offers an enticing blend of original character and modern updates. This 3,300 sqft home has 5 bedrooms, plus a study, 3.5 bathrooms, a finished basement, an expansive backyard, and placement within the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Out front, charming curb appeal is on display in the lush shrubbery, manicured lawn, mature trees, and a wraparound porch. Inside, you're welcomed by a foyer that showcases the intricate millwork, crown molding, and wainscotting found throughout the home. Original hardwood floors extend through a wide archway into the living room that is filled with natural light from a set of bay windows. Pocket doors open to a formal dining room with more bay windows and plenty of space for entertaining. Off the main hall, there's a split staircase, a powder room, and a mudroom with a side entry from the driveway. The hub of the home is sure to be the large, sunlit kitchen at the rear of the main level. It has a breakfast nook, a peninsula with seating, generous counter space, custom cabinetry, a double sink, stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridge, and lots of picturesque windows. Patio doors open to the fenced backyard, where tall, shady trees create a private oasis during the spring and summer months for outdoor play, gardening, barbecues, and alfresco dining on the paver patio. On the home's second level, two bedrooms and a full bathroom sit off the stairs. A study leads to the hotel-like primary suite that boasts a large bedroom with vaulted ceilings, an arched window with a seat overlooking the backyard, two bespoke walk-in closets, and an attached bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Up on the third level, there are two more bedrooms, another full bathroom, and attic storage. Additional living space is found in the finished basement, perfect for a den and playroom, along with a storage room, and a laundry room that has access to the backyard. Utilities include central a/c, gas forced-air heat, radiators, and gas hot water. 419 Yale Ave is a fantastic home with an equally fantastic location! Swarthmore is a sought-after neighborhood known for historic charm, tree-lined streets, and a welcoming sense of community.
