Property Description

Location, Location, Location. Situated in one of Swarthmore's most coveted neighborhoods, this wonderful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom stone Colonial offers a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience. With Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary (SRS) and the Swarthmore Swim Club just blocks away—and Henderson Field serving as your "extended" side yard—this home is perfectly positioned for active suburban living and the "walkability" feature that every Buyer is looking for! Step inside to a lovely center hall featuring a graceful turned staircase. To the left, you'll find a discrete powder room, while to the right sits an expansive living room. Bathed in natural light from oversized windows with deep sills on three exposures, this inviting space is anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace. The traditional layout flows effortlessly into the formal dining room with classic corner cupboards and French doors that open to the private backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor transition. The kitchen is designed for both function and connection, featuring: a bar-height counter with seating, perfect for casual morning coffee, a charming, decorative fireplace that adds a layer of historic intimacy, a fabulous, oversized breezeway/mudroom providing separate front and rear entrances and direct access to the attached garage. This space is very versatile and could easily be transformed to become part of the kitchen, a home office or exercise area.
The second floor offers a spacious primary suite complete with a private en suite bathroom. The landing features a unique alcove workstation, creating an ideal home office nook with serene views of the front yard. Two additional ample-sized bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a generous cedar closet complete this level.
The semi-finished basement is a hidden gem, characterized by a stunning exposed stone wall and high ceilings—the perfect canvas for a premier recreation room or gym. A separate utility room houses the laundry, featuring a newer washer and dryer.
Lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 40 years, this stone beauty is now ready for a new steward to usher its timeless charm into the next generation. And as wonderful as the home is, the new owner will discover that its location, specifically "Swarthmore Hills" is truly its very best feature!
