Property Description
Welcome to 25 Amherst Avenue! Do not miss the incredibly rare opportunity to own this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath house on a highly desirable street in the quaint hamlet of Swarthmore. This charming Split Hall Colonial Style home is ideally situated on a quiet street, in walking distance to all that Swarthmore has to offer: shopping, dining, library, and the coveted Wallingford-Swarthmore school district. You can either use the shared driveway, with 2-car detached garage, or park on the street, though you won't need to use a car that often unless you are going on a trip. Walking up to the house, past the beautiful mature plantings and shrubs, you will find yourself on the covered front porch. Imagine yourself on the idyllic porch swing with a glass of Iced Tea on a warm Summer night. From the porch, you will enter the house, where the formal Dining Room is on your left, and the Living Room, complete with a stone fireplace, is to your right. Be sure to note the original hardwood floors, classic staircase, and built-ins that can be found throughout the main level. Off the Living Room, you will find an enclosed porch, perfect for a child's play area or perhaps a Home Office. In the back of the house, you will find the bright Kitchen, where large windows let in plenty of natural light. The spacious, expanded kitchen has plenty of room to cook with friends and family and includes a sunny breakfast room, perfect to have your morning coffee. Your guests will enjoy the expansive backyard paradise almost .35 acres (enough room for an in-ground pool), which can be accessed from the kitchen and is partially fenced permitting greater privacy. There is also a powder room on the first floor. Moving up to the second floor, you will find three good sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Off the Master Bedroom, there is also another enclosed sun-filled porch, which affords peaceful views of the backyard. On to the third floor, where you will find two additional bedrooms. There is also a full, unfinished basement. You couldn't ask for more, with a 7-minute walk to the Septa train station (or a 3.5 minute run), a 10 minute walk to the Elementary school, and so close to the Library, Swim Club, Swarthmore Co-op, and Swarthmore College Campus, not to mention the beautiful parks that distinguish the area. Center City Philadelphia is only 20 minutes away, Philadelphia International Airport is 15 minutes away and major highways are right closeby. This is a very special house that is waiting for you to customize it and make it your own. This house is being sold in "As-Is" condition. Call your agent to schedule a showing today!
