This classic Swarthmore split offers an expanded floorplan, with beautiful, light-drenched spaces for living, working and studying from home. The entry area introduces the finished oak floors found throughout most of the house. A large bank of windows fills the living room with soft light, and the gas fireplace provides a cozy focal point. The spacious dining room is open to the kitchen. Glass doors spilling out onto the deck fill the eating area with light. The updated, open kitchen boasts a tile floor, maple cabinets with ample storage and pantry space, a large seating and storage island, and granite counter tops with an undermounted sink. Stainless-steel appliances, including a 5-burner Frigidaire Electrolux gas cooktop, GE Profile wall-oven and microwave, and Bosch dishwasher add function to form, and the whole space is illuminated with recessed lighting. The original lower-level den has been converted into a large office space, which is open to a generous family room addition. This sunny space boats skylights, recessed lighting, wood laminate floors and a newer woodburning stacked stone fireplace, with reclaimed wooded mantel and frosted glass doors to the outside. A handy mini-kitchen with a wine fridge, appointed similarly to the main kitchen, and a powder room with tile floor may also be found on this level. A portion of the former garage was converted into a large laundry room with utility tub. Upstairs, a spacious primary bedroom with en suite bath, two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath and linen closet may all be found on the second floor. The third level is home to the enormous fourth bedroom. Plans are available demonstrating how this over-sized space could be converted into a second primary suite with a full bath. The fourth level includes a large, unheated bonus room with a closet and access to floored storage eaves, as well as a storage attic space. High velocity Central Air serves the living room, dining room and kitchen as well as the fourth bedroom. The high efficiency gas heater and over-sized hot water retention tank keep the house cozy and the hot water flowing. Outside, a large deck spills out onto a stone patio, all overlooking the large, level backyard. The peaceful sitting garden on the south side of the house has lovely plantings, including climbing clematis, heliotrope, peonies, ornamental honeysuckle, succulent ground cover, and grasses. A wooden storage shed is a perfect place for gardening tools. The partial former garage space is idea for a workshop and/or bicycle storage.
