Enjoy the best of small town living on the first floor of a gracious 1893 Victorian home with an open wrap-around porch. The common lobby welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a window seat, and stained-glass windows. The front door opens to a spacious living room with a decorative fireplace flanked by built-in shelves to display your books and treasures. High ceilings and large windows with deep sills and integrated shutters lend the room brightness. Under foot are hardwood floors throughout. The eat-in kitchen boasts solid wood cabinets and a sunny dining area with a bank of windows looking out onto a large lawn bordered by majestic trees. A large primary bedroom includes lovely crown molding, deep-silled windows with integrated shutters, and an en suite bath with shower stall. A laundry closet with a new LG washer faces a full hall bath with tub/shower and large vanity. There are two additional rooms, one of which accesses an enclosed porch, and the other overlooking the side yard. Outside there are lawns, flowering shrubs, and mature trees. Back steps covered by Pennsylvania blue stone lead you to your private garage. Additional parking is available in the large side lot, and there is lots of room for storage in the basement. Ideally located in the college town of Swarthmore with its prestigious school district, the beautiful campus and Scott arboretum, library, shops in town center or Springfield Mall, elementary school, swim club and commuter train station are all within walking or biking distance. Let this home be your setting for many happy memories...and pets are welcome!
