Property Description
Don’t miss this classic 4 BD, 2/1 BA stone colonial in the walkable, popular town of Swarthmore! From the moment you step through the front door, you’ll be captivated by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The gracious Center Entrance Hall opens to the Living Room, where you can enjoy relaxing in front of the fireplace on cold winter nights. The spacious Dining Room is the perfect location for celebrating holidays and hosting dinner parties. Chefs will love the renovated Kitchen which features abundant cherry cabinets, stainless appliances (including warming drawer), granite counters, and a convenient island with breakfast bar seating. Enjoy casual everyday meals in the Breakfast Room, which is bathed in sunlight from large windows. Steps from this area provide easy access to the upstairs Family Room, which features a vaulted ceiling, extensive built-ins, and another fireplace. The main floor also features a private Study/Office, Powder Room, and indoor access to the ATTACHED 2-car, oversized Garage. Upstairs is a large Primary Bedroom suite with 2 closets and a renovated Primary Bath with marble counters and a sparkling white-tiled stall shower with frameless glass door. Three more spacious Bedrooms, an updated Hall Bathroom with shower/tub combo, a convenient Homework/Office nook, and access to the Family Room complete the 2nd floor. Downstairs is an immaculate Basement with Laundry area and ample room for storage, workbench, ping-pong table, and mechanicals. The 2-Car Garage was widened when the Family Room was added, and features ample room for 2 vehicles AND for yard gear, trash containers, and bikes. Glass French doors in the Breakfast Room lead to a very private patio, which overlooks the fenced-in rear yard. There is a 2nd small patio off the Living Room too. Children and athletes will love the playground and expansive playing fields just across the street. Charming shops, restaurants, the train station, Swarthmore CO-OP Market, library, and Swarthmore College campus are all within walking distance, via sidewalks on quiet streets, from this great home. Highly ranked Wallingford-Swarthmore schools. EZ access to Center City, the Blue Route, and Airport too!
