525 N Swarthmore Ave, Swarthmore, PA 19081

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.
