Welcome to this completely charming and tastefully renovated Thayer-built home! This 3 BR/2.5 BA home has a deceiving amount of comfortable living space - both inside and out! Situated on a lovely cul-de-sac street surrounded by other Thayer-built homes, this one has a very large, level, backyard that feels incredibly private and is beautifully landscaped! It can be enjoyed both from the lawn itself, the outdoor patio or from the wonderful screened-in porch! Inside, there is a beautifully appointed eat-in Kitchen with granite counters and a Bosch Dishwasher. There is also a designated mud-room area with a large coat closet and a newly installed Powder Room with pocket door. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a very large Living Room/Family Room with an impressive wood-burning Fireplace with brick surround and substantial mantle as the focal point. There are French doors leading to a lovely Screened-In Porch adding light and living space to the first floor. Up the turned staircase is one Bedroom straight ahead with charming window and ample closet space. The Master Bedroom is to the left and features the exposed brick chimney, windows on each end of the room and an en suite Bathroom. The additional closet shelving is also included. To the right of the middle bedroom is a hall bathroom as well as a very large 3rd Bedroom with built-in shelving and desk. This room is easily shared, has high ceilings and lots of daylight making it a thoroughly inviting space! The basement houses the laundry, utilities (boiler-2013, hot water heater-2018) and is currently used as a work and play space! A surprise feature of this home is the fabulous 2-car Garage which is being used as a recreation room - wired for TV, electric and heat! It has a charming set of windows as well as track lighting making this a favorite spot for watching sports and playing cards! The other unique and outstanding features of this property include the wide driveway lined with Belgian Block, the beautiful hardwood floors throughout, the curved walls and the custom molding typical of Thayer-built homes! This is a house that you must come inside to truly appreciate its character, comfortable living spaces and the incredible privacy it affords while still being close to downtown Swarthmore, SEPTA train, Martindale's Health Food store and Starbucks - all on a cul-de-sac street! This privacy combined with convenience is not to be underestimated!!! Showings begin on Friday, June 1st!
