Property Description
Nestled among the iconic homes of Swarthmore’s Ogden Avenue, a brand-new Craftsman style colonial awaits. Lovingly designed to fit perfectly into a neighborhood of architecturally compelling homes, 4 Ogden offers a wealth of conveniences that can only be found in a modern home, wrapped up in a package that sings with turn-of-the-century elegance. Mountain blue stone pavers lead up to the wide front steps onto the open porch. The Arts & Crafts front door opens to reveal the soaring ceilings, soft neutral colors, and rift sawn red oak floors found throughout the first floor. Noted local builder, R.S. Lee Construction, chose a theme of symmetry for the interior of 4 Ogden, which echoes throughout the house. A path of herringbone red oak with a walnut inlay defines the center hall in an otherwise open living space. To the right, the formal living room is filled with light from two pairs of windows. To the left, the formal dining room also offers two pairs of windows and a striking light fixture over the dining table space. Follow the herringbone path past a powder room with a glass bowl sink and fluted tile wall to the back of the house, where the enormous gourmet kitchen mirrors the light-filled open family room. The entire back wall of this open space is comprised of windows and French doors out to the great big screened porch and a vista of the lawn. The kitchen features Goebelwood custom white cabinetry with built-in pantries flanking the refrigerator. Quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and a porcelain farmhouse sink with a view over the lawn all add beauty. GE Monogram appliances include a 6-burner gas cooktop and double wall ovens. The massive island, with seating for five, provides a wonderful place to make memories. The open family room features a mini butler’s pantry with beverage fridge. The stunning gas fireplace is topped with a mantel of honed granite and flanked by built-ins. A large office with a stunning bank of wraparound windows completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a spacious bedroom with a professionally organized walk-in closet, and French doors to a private balcony overlooking the lawn. From the heated porcelain tile floor, marble-topped double storage vanity, and glass door stall shower with shower head and handheld shower, to the gorgeous oversized soaking tub, the sumptuous primary en suite bath feels like a private spa. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a full hall bath with subway tile surround, and a laundry room complete the second floor. The full third floor includes a fourth bedroom, a full hall bath, and a spacious additional room, currently set up as a playroom/second family room. This enormous space boasts a bank of windows with a window seat spanning the length of the side wall. The finished lower-level is mostly above grade, with bright windows, and includes a rec room with a great big dry bar. Ideal for big parties, there is plenty of space for a sectional sofa on each side of the bar. A fifth bedroom may be found on this level, along with an en suite bath. Custom cubbies by the outside door will help to keep the whole house tidy. Built with efficiency and comfort in mind, 4 Ogden features both spray and batt insulation, tankless hot water heater, and two heat-pump systems with gas back-up, one for the lower level and 1st floor, one for the 2nd and 3rd floors. Outside, a mountain blue paver patio is sheltered by a stepped terrace wall, and provides the perfect setting for cookouts and quiet evenings. Served by Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, 4 Ogden is located just blocks from the swim club, Swarthmore-Rutledge school, village shops, library and train station. The Philadelphia International Airport is just 20 minutes away by car, and downtown Philadelphia may be reached in 30 minutes by car or train. Generous space, authentic Craftsman charm, comfortable efficiency, and a prestigious location all combine to give luxury to everyday living at 4 Ogden Avenue.
