Don’t miss this charming bungalow! Conveniently located within walking distance of SRS, Swarthmore College and the town center, 325 N. Princeton is chock full of delightful character. Just 4 steps and you’re in the living room, the centerpiece of this open floor plan. Note the custom gas fireplace, gorgeous mantle and surrounding built-in bookcases and cabinets. A coat closet is right there as well. The dining room seamlessly connects to three distinct areas: 1) a bonus sitting room/gym area; 2) a renovated kitchen, which overlooks the deck and backyard, and 3) the new bathroom and bedroom areas. As a sitting room or gym area, the bonus room includes more built-in shelving, two walls of windows and a charming, pitched ceiling. The Kitchen has all new appliances: Bosch stove, dishwasher and microwave, and GE Café Refrigerator; new counters and tile backsplash. And the Hall bath has been redone with a Honeycomb tile floor, Fresca medicine cabinetry, Grohe fixtures and a new custom made sink vanity. Two bedrooms flank the Hall bath. An additional bonus room, used as an office, links the kitchen and sitting room. In the hallway leading to the first-floor bedrooms, you'll find a staircase to the second floor, where the third bedroom or playroom awaits. This space is heated and cooled separately. The back yard is fully fenced and the landscaping has been restored to a lush private oasis. And the basement includes storage, and a powder room. Stroll down the block to the Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School or take a longer walk to the Swarthmore Swim Club. Or explore Swarthmore College on your way to the village downtown, where you'll find shopping and SEPTA’s train to Philadelphia and WAWA. Located just a half-hour from downtown Philadelphia by train or car, and only twenty minutes from Philadelphia International Airport by car, this beautifully restored home provides a tranquil retreat with convenient access to all that the area has to offer. Brand New roof (2024), Renovated Kitchen (2022), Renovated Hall Bath (2022), New Washer/Dryer (2021), New Hot Water Heater (2021), Restored Mature Landscaping, Upgraded C/A (2021) New Gas Fireplace (2022).
