Description

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS COMING SOON! Looking for a solid home that maintains its vintage charm while offering thoughtful updates and modern amenities? Check out this adorable, surprisingly spacious Cape Cod, which has had just two owners since it was built in 1951. Set on a quiet street, the front door opens to a generously sized living room. The front bay window lets in plenty of morning sun in the winter, while the maple tree in the front yard blocks much of that sun during the hottest parts of the year. Original hardwood floors throughout the home have been uncovered in recent years and are in beautiful shape. The eat-in kitchen is mostly vintage, and all appliances are in top-notch working order. A garbage disposal was installed a few years ago, and new vinyl flooring and overhead lighting were added in 2024. Adding to the retro vibe is the recently updated bathroom, where new wallpaper, vanity, cabinet, mirror, and light fixture perfectly set off the original pink and black wall and floor tiles. Two good-sized bedrooms, a linen closet, and a coat closet complete the first floor. Upstairs are two more large bedrooms, several closets, and tons of additional storage space. The knotty pine paneling, also in excellent shape, creates a cozy rustic atmosphere. The finished basement provides yet more living space, along with sizeable tool and laundry areas. The basement also includes a sump pump, a large Utilatub, and plenty of shelving. A new furnace was installed in 2021, at which time central air conditioning was added to the home. The roof, also replaced in 2021, features light-colored, energy-efficient shingles. 2023 brought a new washer and dryer and a new back door from Guida. The backyard is large, level, and private, with plenty of space for kids and/or entertaining. If fresh fruits and veggies are your thing, you’ll love the enclosed garden area and two blueberry bushes! And a spacious shed offers plenty of room for all your outdoor tools and supplies. Finally, this beautiful home is within walking distance of the Morton SEPTA station (zone 2) and downtown Swarthmore, as well as just a few minutes’ drive from both 476 and 95. It’s the best of all worlds; schedule a tour. Showings Begin Wednesday 7/30.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
