Property is under contract - Open House is cancelled on Thursday, September 8th. Nestled in one of Swarthmore’s most beautiful and convenient neighborhoods sits 740 Harvard Ave, a lovely 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Dutch Colonial surrounded by Native plantings, fruit trees and shrubs, and a pollinator garden. This location provides convenient sidewalk access to all of Swarthmore’s wonderful amenities: the SEPTA station; Crum Creek Woods; the College campus and Scott Arboretum; the village shops & eateries; as well as quick access to Philadelphia airport and the city. The deep front yard with its plantings creates a very private setting – as you pull in the driveway to the left is an oversized two car garage, connected to the home by a charming breezeway which serves as a covered porch, but could be easily enclosed. The entry foyer features a dramatic, curved stairway to the second floor. Off the foyer to the right is a large living room with windows on three sides, hardwood floors, and a wood burning fireplace. Off the foyer to the left is the family room with a second fireplace which is open to the kitchen. A bright dining room with large picture window overlooking the back yard joins the kitchen on one side, and the living room on the other. There is also a powder room and large coat closet, both accessible from the entry hall. Upstairs the primary bedroom has a private full bathroom and two large closets. There are three more large bedrooms on this level, as well as a full hall bath. The upper hallway is lined with incredible bookshelves - with more built into the 4th bedroom. Each bedroom is situated in a corner of the home, creating excellent multi-directional light in each space. Downstairs is a full basement which was used as a partially finished space in the past. It contains the laundry area, built-in workbench, utilities and expansive storage – this space has excellent headroom and offers the possibility for future renovation and re-finishing. Outside the home is surrounded by greenery, including a back yard and side yard with firepit and tiny fishpond, planting beds and garden areas – ideal for someone who appreciates the outdoors. Swarthmore Borough is in award-winning Wallingford Swarthmore School District, and is home to outstanding small business shopping, farmers markets, food truck-a-thon, live music and wonderful seasonal community-wide celebrations.
