About This Home

As of July 2016

A great opportunity awaits, but don't wait. 539 Swarthmore Ave is a definite find with some hard to find pluses. The corner double sized lot allows for a off street parking, an over sized garage, patio, and a great sized yard. Enter the home on the newly constructed, heavy duty, extra wide stairs into the completely open floor plan of the first floor. The light pouring through the new windows makes this floor shine bright. Brand new hardwood flooring, new walls, recessed lighting and neutral paint have brought new life to this home. The kitchen features custom cabinets, an over sized granite counter top breakfast bar, deep sink, stainless appliances and a the bonus extra large mud room with food pantry, closets, washer / dryer hookups and a powder room bigger than most bathrooms. The second floor features three nice sized bedrooms, plush carpet, fresh and soothing paint, new ceiling fans, and closet space in each room. The brand new full bath is simple and stylish with tile bath surround and new tile flooring. The topper is the newly finished third floor. Turn this into your master suite with the entire floor. A new full bath with tiled shower, sitting area, with closet space and a long barn like bedroom makes this a little retreat. The basement has also been updated with a new coat of paint on the walls, epoxy finish on the floors and plenty of space to make this your own space. The walkout basement lends you the ability to use it as a workshop or finish it as an entertainment area, you choose. The newly constructed rear stairs are just off the driveway for easy in and out access to your large mudroom. New Roof, appliances, HVAC, Hardwood, New, New, New make this place very appealing. Close to everything. Ridley schools. Don't wait, The home, top to bottom, has been revitalized by the team at EJ Restorations and back on the market waiting for you!
