Description

The moment you walk up the herringbone brick pathway to this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Craftsman style home, you will be charmed by the details and the thoughtful renovations. As soon as you step through the enclosed front porch, you'll notice the gorgeous woodwork that continues throughout the home - crown molding, doorway columns and trim, crisscross detail windows, and beautiful hardwood floors. The living room is perfect for relaxing in front of the Inglenook gas fireplace and custom built-in shelves. Open the French doors in the dining room to allow a breeze from the Juliet balcony as you dine just off of the kitchen. The kitchen is a chef's dream with expansive granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in breakfast area, and loads of cabinet space including a huge pantry area. The first floor also features a convenient laundry room with extra storage, a half bath, and a coat closet. Enjoy a summer dinner on the screened-in porch that sits off the kitchen and overlooks the completely fenced-in backyard. The large, flat yard boasts a paver patio, a garage and paver driveway with enough parking for 4 cars. On the second floor you will find a bonus den area and 3 large bedrooms (one with a charming sleeping porch). The updated hall bathroom features a tiled tub and shower combo, built-in shelving, and even a combo towel warmer/heater. The entire third floor is home to the primary suite that truly feels like a bright and airy retreat with a spa-like en suite bathroom that features a glass-enclosed tiled shower and towel warmer/heater. All of the rooms have good-sized closets (the master bedroom even has 3!) but there is even more room for storage in the clean and dry basement. This gem is located central to all Swarthmore and the surrounding area has to offer. Enjoy the walkability with a less than ten minute walk to the train station, downtown Swarthmore, Swarthmore College, playgrounds, parks, and schools. It's a quick drive to Media, the airport and so much more!
