About This Home
As of June 2023This picture-perfect expanded stone cape offers a surprising wealth of space, and is located just blocks from Swarthmore town center and train station, as well as the swim club and Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School. The covered front porch provides a peaceful spot to sip coffee and watch the world go by. The front door opens into the sun-drenched and spacious living room. A fireplace with insert is perfect for cozy winter evenings, and an enormous south facing window overlooks the front lawn and fills the space with soft light. The deep dining room boasts charming built-in corner cabinets, and French doors leading into the spacious addition. Form meets function in the large, open kitchen, which boasts stainless-steel appliances and Hi-Macs countertops. The cook will never be lonely with both an open seating area overlooking the family room, and a separate breakfast area with room for a second dining table. The ceiling soars in the great big family room, and banks of bright Pella windows keep the space airy, allowing views over the expansive emerald backyard. To the right side of the addition there is a large mudroom with plenty of storage to keep the house tidy, an updated powder room with wainscoting, and a door to the driveway. The first-floor bedroom wing includes three bright bedrooms, all with Pella windows, and a renovated full tile hall bath with handsome wainscoting and a storage vanity with a trough sink. This generous first-floor space allows great flexibility. Before the second-floor addition was renovated by the current owners, one of the first-floor rooms was used as the primary. The entire second floor has been renovated into a luxurious primary suite. The new en-suite bath boasts a glass stall shower with stone floor and matte gray subway tile surround with double trough sinks over the storage vanity. The room-sized walk-in closet includes organizers and a built-in for shoes. The bedroom is spacious and cozy with a window overlooking the lawn. Two additional flexible rooms are found in the suite. Currently set up as couples’ offices, either space could alternately be used as an exercise room, craft room or reading nook. The outdoor space is as picturesque as the indoors. Pella sliding glass doors from the family room lead out to a curved paver stone patio, a wonderful retreat for roasting marshmallows and watching the fireflies on summer evenings. Many sensible improvements provide comfort and peace-of-mind, including the newer HVAC system (2020), newer hot water heater (2018), newer Pella windows, a central vacuum system, back-up generator (2018), new driveway (2018) and this home has been freshly painted inside and out. Enjoy all the benefits of living so close to the center of this special borough and the beautiful Swarthmore College campus. Downtown Philadelphia can be reached by car or train in a half hour, Philadelphia International Airport is just 20 minutes away by car.
