Property Description
Charm abounds in every facet of this beautiful home in Swarthmore. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac and overlooking Little Crum Creek, an incredibly idyllic 3-bedroom, 2-bath home awaits its new owners. An interpretation of the storybook revival style, the home was built for Swarthmore's public school German language teacher, its asymmetrical gable assembled from stone quarried in Berks County, PA. Enter the home through an under curved porch canopy, whose original transcription in German translates to a blessing on all who visit the home. Inside, a charming vestibule further welcomes friends and family as it opens into the home's large living room with fireplace and built-in bookshelves. Gorgeous moldings surround the entry to the home's four-season sun room. French doors, Mercer tile and incredible light-filled windows provide a tree-top view year round - it's equally suited for a peaceful cup of coffee at the start of your day or enjoying company and meals. An open floor plan allows for an uninterrupted view of the home's large dining room and enables myriad of space configurations and uses on the first floor. Windows, with remarkable views of the backyard and creek valley, line the rear wall of the home and further unite the space. A kitchen with breakfast bar is located adjacent to the dining room - it provides outside access to the home's garage as well as the partly finished basement. The home's walk-out lower level currently features an office/rec room and full bath with laundry. The space could easily be transformed into a family room, home theater, play room, au-pair or in-law suite. A lovely patio is located just outside the door. Upstairs, you'll find the home's three bedrooms and an incredible full bath. Each bedroom offers bright and sunny spaces, charming nooks and gleaming hardwood floors, while an utterly delightful hall bath offers a relaxing refuge. Featuring a tree-top view, soaking tub and plenty of space within, it beautifully utilizes its perched location - allowing for privacy and gorgeous light. The home is located within the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, within easy reach to the Village of Swarthmore its festivities and rail station.
