Property Description
Nestled on over an acre overlooking the lush woods and a meandering creek, this charming cottage-style colonial enjoys views of the bucolic setting from every room! The property is a botanists delight with many rarities to be found; for example, two rare Asian persimmons trees successfully grafted from native persimmons saplings and still producing this somewhat rare fruit! This is just one example of the many interesting specimens found on this incredible property!!! As you enter this, 3 BR/2.5 BA home, you come into a charming vestibule area with tile floor and one step up you enter the spacious Living Room with fireplace, built-ins and stunning views out the large clear-glass picture window. To the left of the front door is a Den or Office with powder room - it's completely charming and cozy. Just beyond the Den is a Dining Room with a wall of built-in cabinets and again, a large window featuring the beautiful surroundings. In between the Living Room and Dining Room is a 3-Season porch perched in the midst of nature with 3 walls of windows. The kitchen is quaint with adequate cabinet space and is very functional as evidenced by all the gourmet cooking that transpired over the years! Upstairs, to the Right is a large Bedroom with it's own full bath; there is a 2nd bedroom with access to the walk-up attic and then through a corridor with space for an office, is the lovely Master Bedroom with plenty of storage space and closets! In addition, this room was designed to take full advantage of the spectacular surroundings and features sliding doors to a small deck for admiring the grounds or morning coffee. The windows on the 2nd floor are dramatic and architecturally interesting. There is also a large, unfinished basement with a woodshop area and storage space with outside entrance -- easy to finish! Attached to the home is a greenhouse for the avid gardener and a one car garage. House has a fabulous location in close proximity to SEPTA, downtown Swarthmore, Schools, Hospitals, Shopping and quick access to Major Roads!!!
