Classic turn of the century charmer with covered front porch and big side yard bordered by perennial garden and a picket fence. Off the kitchen is a deck and good sized rear yard as well. Good parking area at rear of property. Recent improvements include: New natural gas heater and central air conditioning w/ programmable thermostat (2008), completely remodeled hall bath (2009), new hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms (2012), re-built front porch (2008), new kitchen windows (2013), front and rear roofs (2010), and new hot water heater (2012.) In 1988 a master bedroom and bath addition was added on the second floor, which adjoins a cozy sitting room & creates a master suite unusual to find in an older home. The hall bath and second bedroom finish out the second floor, with stairs to third floor bedroom and adjoining bonus room, which has been used as a 4th bedroom. Lots of built in storage in this room. The kitchen is roomy, and washer and dryer are located there. Please note that originally there were steps to the basement from the kitchen, but they were removed by the present owner, and bsmt is accessed from the outside. This house has been very well cared for, and is looking for new owners to love it as this family has for over 30 years. Close to the shops and conveniences of Swarthmore Boro, as well as Swarthmore College and Septa train station. Swarthmore address but lower Ridley Twp taxes!!!
