25 Chester Road is just what you've been waiting for! A mile and a half down the road from the charming town center of Swarthmore, you will fall in love with this lovely single family brick home within the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Beautifully blending original charm with modern updates, this three bedroom, two full bathroom is a rare find! You will appreciate the oversized driveway with room for at least 7+ cars to comfortably fit. Heading through the front door, you are welcomed into a formal living space, offering a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. Off this room, you'll move into the dining room, which flows easily into the central kitchen. The kitchen has recently been outfitted with new cabinetry, updated stainless appliances and quartz countertops! You'll love how the kitchen is positioned conveniently between the dining room and the spacious family room addition at the back of the house. The addition offers a generous 270 square feet of living space. Sliders open directly onto the brick patio, perfect for entertaining and enjoying an evening nightcap. On the opposite side, a door offers direct access from the driveway, where you can easily enter the home and stop to hang your coat and bag at the large coat closet. There is also a well-appointed laundry room, and the first full bathroom. This stunning bath was renovated with no expense spared. Gorgeous penny tile in the stall shower floor is complimented by cerulean blue scalloped tile flanking the shower surround. On the second level, you will find an optimally sized primary bedroom, offering two closets and plenty of room to accommodate a king-sized bed. The other two bedrooms are both large and also offer an abundance of closet space. The hall bathroom rounds out the second level and boasts plenty of storage and a nicely-sized vanity. The pull-down attic provides storage, and the full basement has high ceilings and could easily be finished for additional living space if desired. The homeowners also took tremendous effort in updating their home for function and comfortable living. Updates include the full removal of the original cedar shake roof and replacement with an asphalt shingle roof. Central Air was installed for the home in 2021 and updates were made to the electrical as well. You'll enjoy proximity to several parks, the public library, the Swarthmore Septa station, Swarthmore College, Target, the shops and restaurants of downtown Media, Philadelphia International Airport, as well as downtown Philadelphia. We welcome your visit today!
