High ceilings and beautiful sunlit rooms are the hallmarks of this classic Swarthmore colonial. Your updates will unlock its potential.
Step into the gracious front-to-back living room for a taste of the oak floors with mahogany inlay found in the living space. Glass doors flanking the stone fireplace lead to the sunny family room with its own glass doors onto the rear deck. The dining room boasts a charming corner cupboard and two sets of bright windows. The eat-in kitchen is spacious enough to both cook and entertain, with ample storage and access to the side deck and a handy powder room. Upstairs, the master suite includes a large double room as well as a private entrance to the beautifully renovated hall bath featuring a glass door stall shower with tumbled limestone surround and hickory storage cabinets. Two additional bedrooms with pretty heart of pine floors and bright windows complete the second floor. The third floor includes two more large bedrooms, each with two skylights and heart of pine floors, as well as a full bath with a vaulted ceiling. The spacious level side yard is perfect for picnics and chasing fireflies. Swarthmore village is just three blocks away, with its train station, library and shops.
