This stunning property underwent a massive, top-to-bottom renovation in 2023, leaving no detail untouched. This home was meticulously renovated with the owners’ intention to stay there and eventually add on an addition. A relocation has forced them to move, lucky for the new buyer who will be able to move right in without doing a thing! Step inside to discover an open concept layout with hardwood floors and LED recessed lighting throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bright and airy kitchen boasts new quartz countertops and backsplashes, custom white cabinetry with gold hardware, stainless steel appliances, an open dining area, and a newly-installed white oak floor that seamlessly matches the original hardwoods throughout the home. In addition, the stylish bar with quartz countertops and a gleaming copper sink is perfect for entertaining guests. Rounding out the first floor is the dining room complete with custom woodwork, a large family room with a fireplace as the focal point, and a side sunroom, an ideal spot to relax or work from home. Upstairs, the primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and a brand new, beautifully redone primary bath with heated floors . Also on this floor are three bedrooms, a fully renovated hall bath, and a conveniently located laundry room with full size LG washer, gas dryer, and full-size utility sink. During the renovation, steel beams were put in place making it possible to install an addition at the back of the home. Electrical work was also done to easily add a zone to the new space. Many of the home’s systems have been updated including electric, plumbing, and a brand new roof. The home has been fully insulated and a security system was installed for safety. A Lutron lighting system controlled by stylish keypads installed into the walls of the home allow for brightening and dimming of lights. The oversized garage contains ample storage space and room for one oversized car. Outside, the exterior went through a major upgrade. Fresh paint, new shutters, a new bluestone walkway, and an architecturally designed portico make for instant curb appeal rounded out by the front yard that has been adorned with lush sod. The expansive, flat backyard offers endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment. With a picturesque neighborhood located behind the home, you'll enjoy beautiful surroundings and a true sense of community. The property is located just a quick walk to downtown Swarthmore, the elementary school, swim club, and athletic fields, ensuring easy access to all the area has to offer. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this your forever home!
