Colonial, Transitional

Commanding a formidable presence on one of Swarthmore’s most iconic, tree-canopied streets, this sprawling 1930s farmhouse-style residence offers a rare synergy of vintage character and modern, open-concept living. Situated on a magnificent landscaped lot, the property is a masterclass in indoor-outdoor living! The updated kitchen serves as the central hub, featuring a large center island with beautiful stained wood top and stylish pendant lighting and a charming custom backsplash. It flows seamlessly through sliding doors to an expansive deck—complete with a built-in picnic bench—perfect for alfresco dining and summer grilling. For everyday convenience, a side entrance opens into a transition area featuring a fabulous mudroom, dedicated laundry area, and a discrete powder room. Just beyond the kitchen, the sun-drenched dining room boasts two oversized windows, including an inviting window seat that offers serene views of the surrounding greenery. The expansive living room stands as the home’s focal point, centered by a classic wood-burning fireplace and elegant built-in bookshelves. French doors lead from here to the home’s most enchanting feature: an idyllic screened porch that captures the cooling breezes! The second floor is intelligently designed with four spacious corner bedrooms, ensuring every room is flooded with natural light. This level includes a dedicated hall bath, one bedroom with a private half-bath, and another featuring a full en-suite. The entire third floor has been transformed into a luxurious primary suite. This massive retreat includes:An expansive bedroom and private sitting area, a dedicated home office/exercise room, a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. Whether you are hosting on the screened porch, the large deck, or the ground-level brick patio, the outdoor entertaining options are unmatched. In addition, the offerings in this location are incredibly convenient! The house is just up the street from Henderson Field and the Swarthmore Swim Club and a short, scenic way to downtown Swarthmore, the SEPTA rail line, the local elementary school, and even your morning coffee at Starbucks. This is more than a house; it’s a tranquil respite from the chaos of everyday life. Experience the best of Swarthmore living.
