About This Home
As of June 2015Welcome to this charming Tudor-style Cape nestled in the woods close to Swarthmore College and easily accessible to downtown Swarthmore, the train, the Co-Op and major roads. This 4+ Bedroom, 2 Bathroom house is abundant in charm including a wonderful open kitchen with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, laundry area, Dining area with bay window, newer appliances and plenty of storage. Beyond the kitchen is a large spacious living room with gas fireplace accented with gorgeous Mercer tile. There are two original built-in benches on either side of the fireplace adding to the charm of this sun drenched room! The Master Bedroom is also on this floor with an adjacent full bath, a 2nd room which could double as a bedroom/office and then a fabulous year-round Sunroom with 3 walls of windows! This is sure to be the favorite room for taking in the bucolic setting and enjoying the wonders of nature! Upstairs there are 2 traditional bedrooms and a hall bath as well as a 3rd large room which is currently used as another sitting room but could be used as a bedroom as well. The tree-top views from this room are incredible and truly capture the private nature of this lovely home! 609 Elm is a gem and will be coveted by those that appreciate both nature and the charm of an older home!
