Property Description
Historic & Coveted. 120 Park will always be 'one of those homes'. It began as an investment property called The Thatcher house with Swarthmore's first Mayor in residence, then became the famed Ingleneuk Tea House, and now 120 Park is a beuatiful home with an office and bedroom suite. Entering the MAIN HOUSE from the mahogany wrap-around porch with bead board ceiling, you'll especially enjoy one of the features of the original home: the 3 intricate 1800s fireplaces with hand carved mantles, antique tiles and hand-cast Iron Fire backs in the Dining & Breakfast rooms and the Foyer. The turreted side of the home houses the elegant formal DINING ROOM with recessed lighting and antique chandelier Imagine entertaining here with original curved windows overlooking the front garden! A lovely BREAKFAST ROOM opens to the well-equipped KITCHEN which will be your go to room for family events. The kitchen features Stainless steel appliances, a Granite island, Cherry cabinets and is completely open to the FAMILY ROOM. Here you'll find French doors, a 4th gas fireplace and an entire wall of Cherry shelving. The LIVING ROOM, with a wall size mirror included in the sale, can hold the largest of family gatherings and has a 5th gas fireplace and French doors out to the porch. On the 2nd floor of the Main house, you'll love the MASTER SUITE with original curved windows, walk-in closet, lush Master bathroom featuring separate Shower and Jacuzzi tub, marble tiling and extra-wide vanity. There are 2 more bedrooms and a hall bath here too. BUT THEN, what a treat to have an entire SECOND WING, where a large reception room/BEDROOM, 2 OFFICES and a conference room are accessed from the side of the house. A full bath is here as well. Travel up the back stairs and find a complete bedroom suite with kitchenette, laundry room, living room, deck, bedroom and full bath. The second wing has access to each floor if desired. Finally, the third floor includes a carpeted landing and several very large storage rooms. OUTSIDE enjoy a fully fenced back yard, enclosing the flagstone patio with mature plantings, parking for several cars and a 2-car garage. Utilities include 4 separate gas heating and air conditioning units, 2 gas hot water heaters, Basement French drain and 2 sump pumps, 1 with battery backup, hardwood flooring, new wall-to-wall carpeting. Convenient to all Swarthmore has to offer: train, shops, Borough hall and schools. It's a dream home!
