    What's special

    This truly lovely home is located right on the boundary between Springfield and Swarthmore, allowing you to enjoy all that Swarthmore has to offer without the associated tax bill! The property combines the best of old-world charm and modern features. The original 1930s house features a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful stained glass, exuding a classic and cozy ambiance. The more modern addition includes an open kitchen flowing into a spacious family room with a gas fireplace and plenty of windows, creating a bright and inviting living space. Plus a bonus room that can comfortably be used as a home office or gym. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is generously sized with high vaulted ceilings, 3 large closets, a laundry chute to laundry room on main floor and an ensuite bathroom that includes double sinks, providing convenience and privacy. There is a private balcony where you can enjoy serene, peaceful views of nature. Also on the second floor, there are 2 other bedrooms. The second bedroom features built-in shelves, adding both functionality and character to the room, while the other room has tons of sunshine and plenty of built-in closet space. High ceilings and a generous landing make the extra open space on the second floor easy to be used as an office space, thanks to its window providing natural light. Throughout the home, you will find integrated bookshelves and other thoughtful built-ins. Ceiling fans have been installed throughout the property to ensure comfortable airflow. The vaulted ceilings in the primary bedroom add a sense of spaciousness, while the cedar closet offers a dedicated space for storing clothes. Under all carpet are beautiful hard wood floors. Various upgrades have been made to the property, including a 2015 oil heater, a Weil McClain gas heater, a new roof in 2015, a water heater replacement in 2018, and new siding in 2021 and a new washer and dryer in 2023. A dry basement, with plenty of storage, rounds out this charming home. Outside, the property features large front and back yards with mature plantings, creating a charming and pleasant outdoor environment. You can enjoy garden views from the back deck, which provides a peaceful space for relaxation and entertainment. The semi-fenced-in yard, with mature foliage along the boundaries, adds an extra sense of privacy. For pet owners, there is a dog door off the office that leads to a fenced-in area, making it convenient for your furry companions. Parking is never an issue with a garage available, and the large driveway offers ample space for additional parking and easy maneuvering. This home offers the perfect combination of timeless elegance and modern comfort. Its location on the boundary with Swarthmore provides access to the town's thriving center, train connections to Philadelphia, across the street from Little Crum Creek Park and close to the beautiful Swarthmore College campus. With its unique features, upgrades, and desirable amenities, this home will be a truly special place to live!
