Fourteen North Swarthmore Avenue is a sight to behold - a grand three story center hall colonial located in Ridley Park's historical district! Lots of upgrades inside - this is a BEAUTIFUL and majestic home...large rooms, GORGEOUS refinished hardwoods, four bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, three bedrooms and a full bath on the third floor. The first floor consists of a massive grand foyer entrance, leading immediately to the formal living room (including HUGE working fireplace) and formal dining room - plus a HUGE fully windowed sun porch. All hardwoods are dark gleaming oak, all paint fresh and bright. Walk further back and you'll come to the butler's pantry - all original refinished cabinetry with the original glass doors! Into the kitchen you go - HUGE, plenty of room for a table if you wish, lots of storage and cabinetry. True to the period there is also that awesome back stairwell up the steps if you wish. On the other side - a beautiful library showcasing one of the three fireplaces...this one is decorative as well as the sun porch fireplace. Replete with lots of natural light, natural wood beams and a beautiful dark gray paint this room just sings early 1900s. Continue on to find a half bath and the basement entrance. The basement is huge and includes a walkout plus lots of room if you find you need more! The top two floors include 7 bedrooms in all plus 3 full baths...one is fully renovated, the other two are original and can be restored as you choose! Don't miss the large closets and the HUGE storage room on the top floor! Three separate HVAC systems, a detached two car garage - all contained on a beautiful corner lot with lots of mature trees. You do NOT want to miss this. We'll see you soon!
