525 N Swarthmore Avenue

Description

This wonderful house was custom built by the current owner specifically to take advantage of the fabulous location! The entire orientation of the home faces the large, deep property in the back. Do not let Swarthmore Avenue deter you from seeing this house - with newer windows, the thoughtful orientation, and excellent insulation, there is no noise to contend with. And, the location is super convenient to the elementary school, the town center, swim club, playing fields, Starbucks and other commercial outlets - the location is actually one of the current owner's favorite features! The inside of this home, because of its newer age, also offers wonderful attributes that can be hard to find in Swarthmore! There are 4+ Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, and 4,400 SQ of living space. The Foyer has travertine tile with an inlaid design. To the right is a freshly painted spectacular Great Room with 13-ft. vaulted ceilings and a stunning blue-stone fireplace. This room was designed as a very practical combined Family Room/Dining Room. There are random-width Brazilian Cherry floors which run throughout most of the home. Adjacent to this room, is a wonderful open Kitchen/Family Room. The gourmet Kitchen is fully-loaded with a huge center island with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, built-in microwave, Viking gas cooktop, and Samsung refrigerator. Seventeen-foot ceilings give this space a dramatic feel, and there are lovely architectural details and a Juliet balcony that add extra charm. The Owner's Suite is also located on the main level, and has windows all along the back wall for a wonderful view of the backyard and peaceful setting. The en Suite Bath has a jetted tub, separate water closet, dual sinks and walk-in shower. And the walk-in closet/dressing room is huge!

There is also a spectacular walk-out finished basement which has become the heart of the home for the current owners! It boasts a Family Room with a home theater, another large room that can act as an exercise room/office/craft room, and there is a wonderful kitchenette, with granite countertops, dishwasher, cooktop and built-in microwave. This makes entertaining super easy! French doors lead to the fabulous large backyard which is great for entertaining all ages! This "newer" home has so many amenities which are incredibly hard to come by and also has the added advantage of being close to the downtown, elementary school, Swarthmore College and more!
