About This Home

As of March 2023

This lovely expanded stone colonial in the heart of Swarthmore Hills offers generous space, a flexible floor plan, and a location close to everything. Enter the front hall with its gleaming hardwood floors. To the left are a coat closet and powder room. To the right is the spacious living room with deep windowsills and a wood burning fireplace. The dining room has wonderful south facing windows and a door out to the patio and rear yard. The kitchen boasts new stainless-steel appliances and three bright windows over the sink allowing a peaceful view over the yard. Off the kitchen is a handy mudroom entrance with laundry, perfect for keeping the house nice and tidy, even on the busiest days. Also on the first floor is the thoughtfully designed primary suite addition. Vaulted ceilings and a wall of south-facing Anderson windows allow soft light to bathe this lovely space, which offers large closets, a wall of built-in bookshelves, and a full en-suite bath. With four large bedrooms and two baths upstairs, this first-floor suite could alternately be put to work as an in-law or au-pair suite. A storage attic, basement, and outdoor shed all contribute to keeping the living spaces streamlined. Swarthmore Swim Club and award-winning Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School are 2-3 blocks from the front door. Just another 3 blocks away, Swarthmore town center awaits, with its local shopping, public library, and residential rail to Philadelphia. Enjoy your suburban paradise, knowing you are just thirty minutes from Philadelphia by car or train, and twenty minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport.
