Property Description
This lovingly restored Arts & Crafts classic in Swarthmore village has been treasured and improved by a family of artisans, including the owner, renowned local cabinet-maker John Kennedy whose charming built-ins adorn nearly every room. A curved stone walkway leads to the picturesque covered front porch. Step inside and allow the entrance hall to transport you to a peaceful space with warm hardwood floors and plentiful windows allowing the sunlight in. To the right, the light-filled living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. A cozy family room flows from the living room, offering more built-ins as well as beautiful views over the lawn. To the left the generous dining room offers more built-ins and four large windows overlooking the private side yard. The spacious custom kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, Mercer tiles, an island, and a large eating area with sliders to a deck with pergola draped with wisteria and steps to the rear yard. A built-in desk, perfect for homework or cookbooks can also be found in the kitchen. A hall from the kitchen leads to a coat closet and a mudroom with a rear door and deck to the garage and rear yard. This hallway also has a separate laundry room with a pantry closet. The primary suite can be found on the second floor, and boasts an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete this floor. There is a studio/office in the basement that has daylight windows and a separate entrance. Unique curved roof lines and perennial gardens adorn this lovely home and add intrigue to the exterior character. Tree-lined Westdale Avenue provides a peaceful setting, just blocks from the village, college campus, train station and shops as well as several parks and playgrounds. Downtown Philadelphia is thirty minutes away by car or residential rail. Philadelphia International Airport is just twenty minutes away by car. Served by sought-after Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, 812 Westdale offers an abundance of charm, as well as all the comfort and convenience needed for working, studying, relaxing and entertaining at home.
