Property Description
(5-minutes to the SEPTA rail station, the Co-op, Swarthmore Farmers Market, library, and restaurants; and a 15-minute drive to the Philadelphia airport). A fireplace with custom benching is the focal point of the spacious living room. A spectacular array of windows and a built-in bookcase along with the light tone of the original hardware floors contribute to a peaceful, bright setting. There is exceptional millwork throughout - notice the floor to ceiling built-in shelving in the library/main level office. The formal dining room is large yet still inviting and comfortable, and includes a custom stained glass. The kitchen is updated and is suited to the chef in need of gas cooking and abundant cabinetry. Unique touches continue in the kitchen, where a mosaic imported from Turkey frames the stove. The main level includes a mudroom, stackable washer and dryer, and full bathroom. On the upper level, there are four bedrooms, one of which is presently used as an art studio. A skylight casts natural light from the vaulted ceiling. The beautifully appointed second floor bathroom includes a soaker tub. The three additional bedrooms are spacious, each with abundant closets. Additional storage is also available in the attic and basement. This home has been well-maintained with new HVAC (2022); washer/dryer (2021).
This residence also features a detached two-car garage, which is rare in Swarthmore. The two large decks afford privacy and are excellent for outdoor entertaining. Oberlin Avenue is a quiet and serene setting. There are only eleven homes on the street. It's peaceful. The home is surrounded by lush landscaping, with beauty abounding in every season. You will find a multitude of routes for enjoying your daily walks or runs, including the Swarthmore College campus and grounds.
Here you will find charm, convenience, a comfortable size, and award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, and easy access to regional events. All very attractive features and why this home won't last long on the market.
