About This Home
As of April 2025Your opportunity to enjoy the Swarthmore community! 725 North Swarthmore Avenue is a charming cottage-like home located at the northern edge of Swarthmore Borough within the highly regarded and award-winning Wallingford Swarthmore School District. This home has great potential and is perfectly ready to be updated. One of its unique features is a recent 18’x23’ great-room addition with 11 feet high ceilings designed and built by Architect Karen Beam in 2020 at a cost of approximately $100,000. This new addition is a blank slate and can be turned into an amazing family room or a spectacular ground floor primary bedroom. This wonderful house has three well sized bedrooms, a full bathroom on the second floor and a half bathroom on the main floor. The living room is large and well-proportioned with a handsome fireplace at its center. There are lots of windows in the living room bringing an abundance of natural light. It is a perfect place to entertain. The formal dining room is perfectly sized and it is connected to the kitchen via a doorway. The kitchen is ready to be transformed into a dream kitchen with room for a breakfast nook. The primary bedroom on the second floor is large with lots of windows and double closets. The remaining two bedrooms are of a perfect size and have lots of windows and natural light. There are hardwood floors throughout the original home. The house has a full basement with a door that connects to a very convenient garage with a driveway exiting to Baltimore Pike. The house has a deep backyard which is partially fenced. The property is well-located with easy access to I-95 and 495. It is less than a mile walk to downtown Swarthmore and near Smedley Park.
