Its location is perhaps Swarthmore’s best kept secret, this beautiful English style home is tucked down a private lane and was built in 1920. The gorgeous setting includes 1.3 acres filled with mature trees, landscaped grounds, unique plantings and a large sweeping lawn. A wrap-around slate patio and charming vestibule welcomes you to this spacious and meticulously maintained, 3-bedroom plus 2nd floor bonus room, home. The first floor features a large living room with expansive windows and a handsome over-sized fireplace flanked with beautiful dark pine custom built-ins and access to the covered portion of the patio. The spacious formal dining room is filled with natural sunlight, unusually elegant custom corner cupboards and also with access to the patio, the circular flow is perfect for entertaining. Walk into the kitchen through the butler’s pantry complete with additional dishwasher and sink. Off the attractive and functional kitchen, there is a step-down bonus room with full en suite bath and outside access which easily lends itself to be an ideal family room, home office or au pair suite. Deep window sills and attractive hardwood floors throughout, the handsome center staircase leads to the impressive master bedroom with large en suite bath with tub and stall shower and fireplace with custom mantle and slate hearth. Two generously sized, sun drenched bedrooms share a lovely jack and jill bathroom and the 4th bedroom features a full wall of closets, another fireplace and skylight. There are large closets throughout this home, including a cedar closet on the second floor and another in the attic. The wonderful finished lower level offers natural light, a wet bar, numerous built- ins and infinite possibilities. It is adjoined by a very large laundry room with powder room and rear access to the driveway and 1.5 car garage making it exceedingly convenient. Exceptional custom millwork and architectural details are abundant and well maintained throughout this utterly charming and perfectly placed Swarthmore home.
