The original footprint of this charming home dates back to the 1890s when this house served as the farmers dwelling for the estate up the hill. Enhanced now by many additions and improvements a lucky buyer will be able to make this bright and airy home their own for the first time in 40 years! The new walkway invites you to explore and enjoy this unique 4 Bedroom 2.5 Bath expanded colonial which offers many amenities for comfortable modern living. There is a Family Room addition warmed by a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. This fabulous gathering space is open to the remodeled Kitchen giving the home a modern feel. There is also a first floor Primary Suite addition which enjoys a lovely view of the expansive grounds provided by a valuable extra parcel (separate parcel included in this sale). The primary bathroom is enhanced by the luxury of radiant floor heat, a large stall shower and double sink vanity granite countertops. Adding to the convenience–there is a powder room and first floor laundry completing the main floor. The outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the home with an inviting rear slate patio revealed through large bright French doors in the Living Room. The second floor provides ample room with three Bedrooms and a Hall Bath. Adding considerably to the living space, the third floor is currently being used as a Painting Studio and for storage, and will provide flexibility for whatever most suits your needs. Just steps from the train to Center City, the town center of the Borough, and also the campus of Swarthmore College where you can enjoy many cultural and intellectual events or just a beautiful walk on the picturesque campus. Call today for a private showing!
