Property Description

Nestled in Swarthmore Borough, this picturesque and spacious twin home offers timeless charm, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by beautifully manicured landscaping that frames the stone walkway and driveway, creating a warm and welcoming first impression. This home features multiple inviting entrances. Follow the curved stone paver path to the front foyer-an ideal spot for pausing after a day at the Swarthmore Swim Club or kicking off your shoes after enjoying Don Henderson Field. Prefer a more casual entry? The covered side veranda leads into a charming mudroom-style area complete with a built-in bench, shoe storage, and ample hooks for coats. Just off this entry, you'll find a stylish powder room with classic wainscoting and a custom marble countertop. Step down into the spacious family room featuring vaulted ceilings, a gas (propane) fireplace, ceiling fan, and large windows that frame views of the serene outdoors. Adjacent to this space is a light-filled breakfast room with skylight and sliding glass doors that lead to a composite deck-perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the fenced backyard. The kitchen is a chef's dream, offering high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous soapstone countertops for all your culinary creations. The formal dining room, with its built-in shelving and access to the side veranda, provides an elegant setting for gatherings and meals. At the front of the home, behind a beautiful glass pocket door, is a versatile sitting room or formal living room with built-in bookshelves-an ideal retreat to read or unwind while enjoying the view of open green space and the fragrance of the lilac bushes. Upstairs, the second level features two bedrooms and a spacious hall bathroom with ceramic tile flooring, tub/shower surround, a large vanity, pantry closet, and convenient stacked laundry with extra storage. The third level is a true retreat-a light-filled bedroom with skylights, ample storage, and its own mini-split system for year-round comfort. The lower basement level houses the home's mechanicals and additional storage space. And there's more-step outside to discover a unique bonus: a converted garage that now serves as a flexible accessory building, perfect for a home office, gym, studio, or creative space. It features LVP flooring, electric baseboard heat, and window A/C. The fully fenced backyard offers space for play and relaxation with a playset, geo dome, and a dedicated garden area with gardening beds-ideal for growing your own fruits and vegetables. Location-wise, it doesn't get better than this. Swarthmore is known for its vibrant community, access to regional rail, and proximity to both Philadelphia and Wilmington. Enjoy local dining, charming shops, and a calendar full of community events including fairs, parades, and markets. Don't just take my word for it-come see 209 Riverview Road for yourself.
