At the end of a rare cul-de-sac in sought-after Swarthmore Borough, a lovely home on a sheltered lot with a pond awaits. This special property is being offered for sale for the very first time since it was lovingly built by its current owners in 1957. A beautifully planted walkway welcomes guests to the front door. The entry hall offers a lovely slate tile floor and a double coat closet. Straight ahead is the spacious living room with a gorgeous bank of windows overlooking the rear gardens. The living room’s wood burning fireplace is flanked by built-ins and has a door leading to a large brick patio with a fish pond and beautifully landscaped lawn, with mature plantings that are arranged to create a sense of peaceful seclusion. The formal dining room is open to the living room and kitchen for a great entertaining flow. The lower level offers a family room, powder room, a bonus room/workshop and an entrance to the attached garage. The second floor boasts a primary suite with full bath, two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The third level offers a fourth bedroom with access to generous storage eaves. This property is being sold in “as is condition”, your creative updates will add polish to a unique gem. You will treasure your peaceful paradise on a quiet cul-de-sac even more, knowing that just blocks away, the small college town of Swarthmore awaits. Enjoy supporting the local shops in the town center, making new friends at the swim club, and taking the Septa train station to work or play in Philadelphia. Sought-after Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School, several pre-schools, and the renown Swarthmore College campus (home to Scott Arboretum) can all be found right in the borough. Just one visit to 401 Drew Avenue, and you won’t want to say goodbye!
