About this home
Nestled beneath mature shade trees on a beautifully landscaped lot in the historic Swarthmore Crest neighborhood, this distinguished Georgian Colonial Revival blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Its stately Roman-inspired columned façade, classic center hall design, & thoughtfully updated interiors create a truly magazine-worthy residence in one of Delaware County's most desirable communities. Located within the Borough of Swarthmore, renowned for its walkable, tree-lined streets, vibrant college-town atmosphere, and award-winning schools, this exceptional home offers both charm & convenience as a predominant Main Line living alternative.
The welcoming center entrance hall is accented by a tucked-away powder room & leads to gracious living spaces filled with character and natural light. Rich hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level, with the exception of the kitchen, enhancing the home's warmth & timeless appeal. The expansive formal living room serves as a stunning gathering space, highlighted by a beautiful marble mantel fireplace, elegant architectural details, & ample room for entertaining. An enclosed side porch provides flexible living space ideal for a home office, fitness room, playroom, or quiet retreat. The spacious formal dining room is equally impressive, offering abundant space for hosting holiday dinners, celebrations, and large family gatherings. The designer-inspired eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a large center island, six-burner KitchenAid range, cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace, & abundant space for gathering & entertaining. A bonus room adjacent to the kitchen offers additional flexibility as a mudroom, office, laundry area, or hobby space.
The second floor features three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with California Closets, an updated en-suite bath, & private access to a rooftop area. A second oversized bedroom includes a step down to an attached bonus room; this space is ideal for a sitting room, game room, dressing area, nursery, or additional closet space. The third bedroom is currently configured as a laundry room & features custom California Closet organization, but could easily be converted back to a generous bedroom & laundry relocated. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms & a bathroom awaiting repairs, presenting endless possibilities for guest quarters, an au pair suite, teen retreat, or expanded living space.
The lower level provides additional finished living space highlighted by a charming curved archway leading to a spacious den, along with storage, utility areas, a French drain system along the front of the home, a sump pump, and original fire-safety door with a drop-bar latch & strap hinges that reflect the home's historic character.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring yard space on all sides, including a fenced in section with a wraparound paver patio just off the kitchen, complimented by a hot tub for year-round enjoyment. A rear driveway accommodates four or more vehicles along with the attached 1-car garage and allows for easy access to Baltimore Pike.
Numerous improvements enhance the home's value and efficiency, including custom blinds & plantation shutters, replacement of all but two windows, a replaced sewer line, newer multi-zone boiler, zoned central air conditioning, beautifully remodeled full bathrooms, dimensional shingle roof with updated gutters & downspouts. This rare offering combines historic architecture, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, & an exceptional location to create a truly special place to call home. Completing the value of this home is its convenience to Swarthmore College, public transportation, 476 access to King of Prussia, as well as I-95 to tax free Delaware, the Airport, or even a short commute to Philadelphia. **One or more photo(s) in this listing have been virtually staged to show alternative paint colors & decor & even use possibilities**...
