Property Description
This custom home (only 26 years young) has all the features of new construction - with high ceilings, an open kitchen to the family room, 4 Bedrooms (with room for more) all with fabulous closet space and 3.5 Bathrooms and a lower level to die for - there is no better house for entertaining! 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, Swarthmore College campus, Starbucks and other establishments - the location is actually one of the current owner's favorite features! 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. This room was designed as a very practical combined Living Room/Dining Room. There are Brazilian Cherry floors which run throughout most of the home. Adjacent to this room, is a wonderful open Kitchen/Family Room. The gourmet Kitchen is fully-loaded with a huge center island with newer quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, built-in microwave, Viking gas cooktop, and SS refrigerator. Seventeen-foot ceilings give this space a dramatic feel, and there are lovely architectural details and a Juliet balcony from the 2nd floor loft area that add extra charm. The Owner's Suite is also located on the main level, and has windows all along the back wall for a wonderful view of the backyard and peaceful setting. The en Suite Bath has a tub, separate water closet, dual sinks and walk-in shower. And the walk-in closet/dressing room is huge! A Laundry Room, half-Bath and attached two-car garage complete the first floor and provide easy access to enter the home. The open attractive wooden stair case leads to 3 generous Bedrooms, all with large closets, lovely hardwood floors and lots of windows. There is a full hall Bathroom with travertine tile throughout. There is also a spectacular walk-out finished basement which has become the heart of the home! It boasts 3 separate rooms - a recreation area/gym, a Family Room with a home theater and another large room that can act as an exercise room/office/bedroom - all with Travertine tile throughout (another thoughtful choice). There is a wonderful kitchenette, with granite countertops, dishwasher, cooktop and built-in microwave in the Family Room. This makes entertaining super easy! French doors lead to the fabulous large backyard and gravel fire pit which is great for entertaining all ages! This "newer" home has so many amenities which are incredibly hard to come by - especially in an older community; and, it also has the added advantage of a superb location!
