Rare opportunity in a quiet Swarthmore location! This mid-century Arts & Crafts cottage was completely renovated inside and out in 2020. Renovations were carefully planned and carried out, maintaining the authenticity of the home s era, and using high-quality materials and finishes. Tasteful and comfortable throughout, this 3/4-bedroom, 2 bath cape cod style home is warm and welcoming from the spacious new portico to the tucked away garden porch. Enter the remarkable living room with tongue-in-groove wood paneled cathedral ceiling, floor to ceiling, asymmetrical brick fireplace with original tile hearth and wood paneled fireplace wall. The soaring woodburning fireplace creates cozy comfort & ambiance. The flooring throughout the first floor is wide-plank Duchateau Strata Fling engineered oak flooring. The living room in this open floor plan receives great light from the large rear-facing, triple window & glass back door. The Living room is adjacent to the dining room with double-depth closet and completely renovated kitchen with custom cabinets, quartzite counters, glass backsplash, quality appliances and breakfast bar. The covered side owners-entry leads to the mudroom with pantry closet and separate laundry room with cabinetry, tile floor & utility sink. The first-floor bathroom was completely renovated with storage cabinet with shelving above, vanity with granite counter, heated tile floor and tile shower with frameless glass doors. There are two first floor bedrooms, both with double corner windows and streaming with morning light. The larger bedroom has deep double closet with custom Closets-by-Design. The smaller first floor bedroom is currently being used as a TV room. The stairway and 2nd floor has refinished hardwood floors, 2 spacious bedrooms, a large walk-in custom closet, and a completely renovated & reconfigured bathroom, also with heated tile floor and custom tile bathtub surround. The front bedroom includes two closets and entry to the balcony nook overlooking the living room. There is additional walk-in eve storage off the 2nd floor hall as well as reach-in eave storage in primary (rear) bedroom. The back yard is a quiet oasis with large stone patio with built-in planter and corner grotto, additional brick patio expansion including grill pad. The serene, raised garden porch with electric provides a variety of options - it is the perfect work or relaxation space and could double as a wonderful exercise or art studio. The yard provides tremendous privacy with mature, well-placed plantings, including a beautiful witch hazel tree. There are new Marvin Integrity windows throughout, as well as tankless hot water heater, new solid-wood exterior doors and several custom interior doors (laundry pocket door, stairway door and 2nd floor bathroom barn door).
