This classic Swarthmore cape has been thoughtfully expanded and beautifully renovated, offering a unique contemporary design with special focus on comfortable modern living that is the hallmark of each coveted restoration by noted local builder RS Lee Construction. A location just blocks from the village, with an appealing option for first-floor living–this special home is a rare opportunity in Swarthmore Borough. Step inside and you are welcomed by the warmth of the hardwood floors and soft neutral colors found throughout the first floor. Filled with natural light the living area offers an open, flexible layout for working, studying or relaxing at home. Recessed lighting keeps the space bright and cheerful all evening long. The dining room is large enough for get-togethers, with sliding glass doors allowing the party to continue onto a newly expanded deck, overlooking the great big backyard with a convenient private driveway. The open kitchen was designed to make the best use of the space for the lucky cook. Snowy-white cabinets soar all the way to the ceiling, and granite counters with a handsome herringbone backsplash provide a satisfying visual anchor. The picturesque backyard view from a window over the extra-deep sink fills the space with even more light. High-performing stainless-steel LG appliances will be included, including a gas stove and built-in microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. The spacious first-floor primary suite is perfect for one-floor living. A large bedroom with two professionally organized closets, and a luxurious full bath with porcelain tile floor, Carrara marble-topped double vanity, and shower with Carrara marble surround make up this suite, along with a sunny laundry room. A door from the hall closes to keep this entire area private, or if opened will allow guests to use the bathroom and laundry room without entering the bedroom. Upstairs, the large dormer addition allows for two enormous bedrooms, each with a professionally organized closet. The spacious full hall bath has a porcelain tile floor, a bathtub with subway tile surround, and a large double vanity, topped with Carrara marble. The full basement is painted and ready for storage and handy projects. Renovation upgrades include: new roof, new HVAC system including an energy-efficient heat pump with gas back-up, all new windows, new sliders and a new front door. Just blocks away are downtown Swarthmore’s public library, Co-op grocery store, shopping and residential rail station.
