    What's special

    Introducing a rare opportunity for one-floor living in the heart of Swarthmore Hills. This impeccably maintained stone ranch home offers a private feel while boasting an open layout that seamlessly connects the living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen. Step into the foyer and notice the warmth of random width pegged hardwood flooring that flows throughout the home. You’ll also notice a SOLA Tube illuminating the path to three spacious bedrooms (natural light that descends from a tube through the roof) in the Hall. Each bedroom comfortably accommodates a queen bed, and the primary bedroom even allows for a king-size bed. The Primary bedroom also has an updated ensuite bathroom, featuring a new vanity, tiled flooring, and a tub/shower. And the hall bathroom includes built-in cherry cabinetry, new lighting, and an additional SOLA tube light. Tastefully redone, the Kitchen boasts Corian And Granite Counter Tops, Jenn-Aire gas cook top and wall oven, Kitchen Aid Dishwasher and gorgeous cherry cabinetry. There is a pantry and storage closet with a laundry chute to the washer and dryer in the basement. Doors from the family room take you to an expansive deck and a fully fenced yard with gates at either end. Better Than "New" Condition. You can easily walk to SRS…or have your grandchildren visit after school! Enjoy proximity to the pool, Henderson athletic fields, the town of Swarthmore, and Swarthmore College. With swift access to the Blue Route (476), commuting to the airport is a breeze. Utilities are regularly serviced and well maintained. Whole house generator. This Swarthmore Hills gem surpasses the "new" standard, presenting an irresistible opportunity for one-floor living seekers. Don't miss the chance to make this extraordinary residence your own.
