Overview

Fantastic new price!! Magnificent 1900s Swarthmore home with unparalleled charm. Think soaring ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, a classic wrap-around front porch, dual staircases and more. Wonderful location—just two blocks from the train and town center and directly across the street from Swarthmore College grounds.

This stunning three-story home features six Bedrooms and two versatile Bonus Rooms (currently utilized as an Office and Yoga Room) across the upper floors. Enter through the Front Porch into a spectacular Living Room, complete with a gas fireplace, cozy built-in bench, and oversized diamond-pane windows that flood the space with natural light. A stunning Dining Room follows—big enough for your largest holiday table.

The updated eat-in Kitchen with a new Samsung fridge is located at the rear of the home. There is also a Mud Room Suite in this area, offering a Powder Room, Laundry area, and ample storage for coats, boots, and backpacks. Here you will also discover a delightful and spacious Screened Porch—a serene retreat for quiet mornings or summer evening meals.

Head up the grand staircase to the second floor where you will find the Primary Suite, offering a walk-in closet and ensuite Bath with a stall shower, jacuzzi tub and dark walnut vanity. On this level there are also two additional Bedrooms plus an Office (with a small balcony!) and a Hall Bath. The third floor offers three more spacious Bedrooms and a dedicated Yoga Room. There is a Hall Bath on this floor too with a tub/shower combination, crisp white subway tile and pretty glass doors that open to a linen closet (and there is a hook up for washer & dryer here too!).

The Basement is unfinished, but provides significant storage. Outside, there is a fully fenced in area on the side of the house that was used as a dog run by the previous owners, where you will also find a patio. The driveway and rear of the home are conveniently accessed from Harvard Avenue. (follow the signs!). Walk to town, train, schools, town pool and more from this gem of a home - offering nearly 4000 square feet of space and historic charm.
