About This Home
Welcome to this charming brick twin tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Swarthmore Woods. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is nestled in a vibrant, friendly neighborhood known for its strong sense of community and unbeatable location. Whether you're commuting to Philadelphia or Wilmington, you’ll love the easy access to SEPTA train lines, I-95, Route 476, and Philadelphia International Airport—just a 15-minute drive away. Step inside to an open layout that flows from the large living room into the kitchen, dining area, and skylit family room addition. The kitchen offers Corian countertops, recessed lighting, and a central island—perfect for casual meals or helping with homework while dinner’s on the stove. The family room opens to a fenced backyard with patio—ideal for outdoor gatherings, playtime, or a weekend BBQ. Upstairs features a recently remodeled full bath with a walk-in glass shower, three comfortable bedrooms, and a bonus room—perfect for a nursery, home office, or dressing room. A partially finished basement with half bath and laundry area offers added space and flexibility. But what truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle just outside your front door. At the end of the cul-de-sac, you'll find open baseball and soccer fields—perfect for weekend spectator activities or to get in some exercise of your own. You can walk or bike to Black Rock Park and Swarthmore College, and two elementary schools are just a short stroll away. With a new heater, updated sump pump, and charming parquet floors waiting to be uncovered in the living room, this home offers immediate comfort and sense of belonging, with exciting potential to make it your own!
