Property Description

This is a rare chance to own a truly special home in Swarthmore, offering breathtaking private views of Crum Creek and the surrounding Crum Woods. On the market for the first time since 1995, this charming ranch-style residence blends comfort, flexibility, and natural beauty. The main level features two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the second floor boasts a private third bedroom with an en-suite bath—ideal for guests or a secluded retreat. Perfectly situated near downtown Swarthmore, the home offers easy access to Swarthmore College, shopping, and the regional train, making it a very convenient location. Step through the front door into the welcoming foyer, which leads to a bright and open living and dining space. Large windows at one end frame stunning views of the woods and creek below, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A handsome fireplace with a classic mantel serves as a cozy focal point for chilly evenings, while a custom built-in bookcase unit adds both function and character. The dining area features a built-in butler's pantry and a set of double doors revealing a secret spiral staircase leading to the second floor. The primary bedroom is generously sized with double closets and a corner of beautiful casement windows that flood the room with natural light. A private hall bathroom with a tub-shower combination serves the primary suite exclusively. The second main-floor bedroom is well-proportioned, offering windows on two sides and access to its own hall bath with a stall shower. Upstairs, the charming and private third bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom with a tub-shower combination, making it a perfect guest suite. The kitchen is bright and thoughtfully designed, featuring an abundance of cabinetry, ample counter space, and a bank of windows that showcase the picturesque surroundings. Adjacent to the kitchen, a lovely breakfast room is bathed in natural light—an ideal spot to enjoy casual meals while taking in the afternoon sun. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the home features two expansive stone patios. The upper patio, located off the living room, is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, while the lower-level patio offers a peaceful retreat with incredible views of the creek below. A small basement with exterior access provides ample storage or space for a hobby workshop. Note: The buyer must agree to a right-of-first-refusal clause with Swarthmore College. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home in an unbeatable natural setting.
