The living area, accentuated by the stunning wood floors and a coffered ceiling, features a lovely fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, while architectural leaded windows add a touch of timeless beauty.
The living and dining areas are gracefully divided by low built-in shelves with leaded glass cabinet doors, enhancing the home's character. Adjacent to the dining area, you'll find a versatile den with a large closet and additional storage, perfect for a variety of uses. A private office at the rear of the house offers seclusion and boasts a deep closet for your organizational needs. The recently renovated full bath on the main floor adds modern convenience, while the charming European-style kitchen is a culinary delight, complete with a breakfast peninsula, ample counter space, and a well-designed pantry area. A door from the kitchen leads to the outdoors, making collecting herbs or grilling dinner an easy task. The second floor is home to three generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath.

The second floor also features wonderful storage options and delightful architectural details, including transom windows above the doors and a charming series of windows overlooking the front of the house. The expansive basement, with its own outside access, is a true highlight. It includes a laundry area, workshop space, and abundant storage options, offering endless possibilities for customization and use. In addition there is a fabulous 2-car detached garage which for Swarthmore in particular is a huge added bonus!
