This light-filled and spacious home offers peaceful spaces for living, working and studying from home. The entry area boasts wainscoting and oak floors. A large bank of replacement windows fills the living room with radiant light. This generous space also features a handsome brick wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room has oak floors, wainscoting, and plenty of room for entertaining. Off the dining room, a screened porch brings the outdoors in with a peaceful view over the lawn. The primary bedroom with its en suite full tile bath can be found on the second level, along with two more airy bedrooms, all with bright windows and refinished oak floors, as well as a full tile hall bath. Up a few more steps is a landing with two closets and a very large bedroom with double windows overlooking the lawn. One more level up is a room currently used for storage, with wonderful potential to become a playroom or crafting room. The expanded daylight lower level includes a powder room, an office, a workout room/second office, a darkroom (great for storage) and a family room with two bright windows, built-in bookshelves, and a door to driveway. A utility room with laundry, a door to the backyard, and a second powder room completes the lower level. Located on a picturesque tree-lined street with sidewalks, this home is just blocks from two parks, three playgrounds, and Swarthmore town center’s shopping & R3 train station! Move right in and enjoy life in a quaint college town!
