About This Home

As of January 2021

Welcome to the carefree lifestyle. Beautifully updated, and ready for the new owners, this 3 bedroom 2 full bath condo has low taxes and very inclusive low condo fees. Briarcliff Condominiums is a desirable, secure building with an elevator service, ample parking, and a large swimming pool to name a couple of amenities. Condo is bright and welcoming, has an open floor plan, spacious, sun filled rooms which are smartly laid out and storage galore. This clean and modern, newly updated kitchen, has freshly painted cabinets, new granite counters, new stainless steel stove and stainless steel dishwasher, (11/20). Expansive living room with large dining area offers a wall of windows and sliding doors to the terrace with the view of the large swimming pool below. Down the hall are owners' bedroom with a large walk-in closet and a private bath. Two nice size bedrooms with a hall bath and ample closet storage in each. New lighting, new paint and new carpeting throughout the condo were just completed (11/20.) Bathrooms have new vanities, mirrors, updated plumbing, new light fixtures and new floors. Unusually large walk-in pantry was used as an office by the present owner - you decide what to call it next... Laundry room and elevator are conveniently just a few doors down, extra storage is on the lower level, use of party/conference room and library, plus that beautiful big pool that awaits you this coming summer. Just a block away from shopping, restaurants and transportation. Short walk to downtown Swarthmore with all services and charm it provides - farmers market, co-op store, library, restaurants, unique shops and all kinds of seasonal events for all ages. Parks and walking trails are all around. Swarthmore College grounds with walking trails, bird watching and bike friendly paths will be open soon again. Easy access to major highways and transportation. 10 minutes to Philadelphia Airport and about that much to Center City. About 15 minutes to tax free shopping in Delaware. Please note - most utilities are included in condo fees. Call me for the seller's disclosure and to set up an appointment today.
