Here is the one you’ve been waiting for! Now available in coveted Swarthmore Borough is a rarely offered, beautifully updated and well-maintained brick and siding Colonial brimming with character and curb appeal. A quiet street and well-landscaped flat lot provide the perfect setting for this home, whose long-time owners have made thoughtful improvements and enhancements through the years. The front deck and full-length glass entry door welcome you to a cheerful and bright open living room/dining room featuring gleaming hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, corner cabinets and sliding doors that open to a rear deck. The remodeled eat-in kitchen showcases Goebel solid wood cabinets, updated flooring and countertops, stainless steel appliances, an oversize sink and access to the rear deck. The kitchen is fully open to a comfortable den, which is great for informal gatherings. The first floor also features a wonderful sunroom off the living room with a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan and sliders to the rear deck. This is the perfect room for a home office or a cozy retreat for reading a good book! A freshly painted half-bath and coat closet complete the first floor. Upstairs you will discover three good-size bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan and gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. The enormous primary bedroom has three windows to let in the morning sun and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. The upgraded ensuite bathroom and hall bathroom both feature newer vanities and mirrors, reglazed tile walls and newer tile flooring. Each bathroom has its own linen closet! Next, check out the dry basement offering a spacious recreation room with newer wall-to-wall carpeting and painted drywall… it’s a terrific place to play and hang out! A separate unfinished area includes the laundry and abundant storage space. Let’s go outside! Overlooking the fully fenced, private backyard is an expansive, newer maintenance-free composite deck with decorative lighting. Imagine entertaining here all summer long! Just off the deck are a detached brick two-car garage and a private driveway for four cars. The list of improvements at 554 Marietta goes on and on, highlighted by a brand new high-efficiency HVAC system, replacement entry doors, sliders and windows throughout, newer gutter guards and newer sidewalks. You’re an easy walk on quiet sidewalk streets to athletic fields, Swarthmore Town Center, SEPTA commuter rail and Swarthmore College. Major highways including I-476 and I-95 are just minutes away with quick access to the airport and stadiums. This is a truly special home that is ready for you to make memories for years to come! Don’t miss it!
