We’re getting closer!  The sellers have their very special home nearly ready for you to visit!  While they add the finishing touches, I will keep teasing you with the details!  The first to guess the address of this charming farmhouse on a magnificent double lot gets a one-year subscription to The Swarthmorean newspaper on me!

Listen closely, all around,

There’s not a single blue route sound,

Just the gentle rustle of,

The ancient copper beech above.

Come inside, relax a while

Hit the books farmhouse style

Built-in shelves hold every tome

Sit by the fire – welcome home!

Clue #1 is here and Clue #2 is here!  Happy guessing!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!

The sellers of a very special Swarthmore farmhouse are preparing their home for showings!  While they work, I am sharing clues with you!  You know the routine – if you are the first to guess the address of this new listing I will buy you a one-year subscription to The Swarthmorean newspaper! Check here for Clue #1 , here for Clue #3 and here for Clue #4!

Details, details…

You’ll never guess from today’s clues,

But I had to share these baby blues!

(They’re penny tiles from the powder room floor,

Accessed by a pocket door!)

And one more treat for your viewing pleasure:

A special stair for secret treasure!

See the hinges at the top of the lowest tread? I don’t know about you – but the complicated dream houses I drew when I was 8 years old had lots of secret compartments JUST LIKE this one!

My belated Valentine to Swarthmore will be a very lovable farmhouse on a glorious lot in the $450,000 to $550,000 range!

I am very excited to introduce this home to the public next week.  As the sellers make a few last-minute preparations, I get to have my fun teasing you here!

You know how this works – if you are the first to guess the address of this new listing I will buy you a one-year subscription to The Swarthmorean newspaper!

Today’s clue is a silly homage to Robert Frost (you can tell the snow has me a little stir-crazy)!

Whose farmhouse this is, do you think you know?

Peaceful but near the village, though,

To the swim club, school and train

It’s a picturesque walk (especially in the snow)!

Step in to see the heart of pine floor,

Fireplace and built-ins galore,

A screened porch, deck and patio,

And this welcoming wreath on the front door!

Clue #2 is here!
