This Victorian twin offers space and charm, both outdoors and in. Best of all, it is perfectly located just blocks from Swarthmore town center! A classic portico leads to the front door. The sunny and spacious living room introduces the oak floors and original moldings found throughout the first and second floors. French doors lead to the formal dining room with its view over the back garden. Also off the living room is a screened porch, overlooking the side yard. The renovated kitchen features a ceramic tile floor, concrete countertops, glass tile backsplash, gas stove and GE dishwasher & refrigerator. The handy mudroom boasts plenty of space for boots, backpacks and books! Refinished oak stairs lead to the second floor where 3 bedrooms and a full tile hall bath can be found as well as a home office with a view over Cornell Avenue. The third floor opens to an enormous master suite with walk-in closet and a sumptuous master bath. With a lavishly tiled dual head shower-for-two and twin sinks and vanities this space is both practical and romantic. The fenced backyard is level and just the right size, with a large brick patio. The peacefulness of the outdoor space belies a handy location just four blocks from the Swarthmore train station, library, playgrounds, parks and shops!

The portico gives 402 Cornell such a classic look…
The bright living room includes a built-in bookshelf as well as doors to the dining room and porch!
Look at all the gorgeous windows!
Playful colors bring warmth to the formal dining room…
The kitchen has sleek concrete countertops…
…and a glass tile backsplash!
The mudroom will keep the rest of the house organized!
The porch is a nice place to relax on a cool summer evening.
This is a classic Swarthmore 3rd floor master, except….
….for the unusually sumptuous master bath!
And I can’t resist showing the shower-for-two!
Back on the 2nd floor, this is the sunny second bedroom. Let the jewel tones begin!
Bedroom 3 overlooks the backyard….
…as does Bedroom 4
This is the office, but is currently being used as a 5th bedroom.
The hall bath serving the 2nd floor has an antique porcelain sink.
Outside there is a level, fenced backyard which is just the right size to enjoy but not enough to make lawn care a chore! (The area with the toys is a round brick patio!)
The shed is a handy place for storing bikes and other outdoor items!
Four blocks away is the town center with a library, shops, grocery store, restaurants, cafe, and…
…the R3 train station – complete with bike racks!
One block from the house is CADES park and the track and field – all of which are used by Swarthmore residents evenings and weekends and when school is not in session!
I couldn’t resist sharing one more picture of that wonderful playground!
