Property Description
We are proud to present 434 Drexel Place: A spectacular location in stunning Swarthmore Borough awaits with plenty of space to stretch out while being close to public transportation and major arterial roadways and in the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Stroll the sidewalks of community-focused Swarthmore village to this larger-than-it-appears 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home that has so much to love including new mini-split AC throughout, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout, a large deck overlooking a generous and level yard, multiple living spaces, a gas fireplace, a new hot water heater, new gas furnace, a newly paved driveway, fresh & neutral paint and a Main Bedroom with ensuite bath.
Enter your new home and find a sun drenched sunken living room with newly refinished, magnificent hardwood floors and exposed wood beams, bay window and brick gas fireplace. A wide entry connects to the elevated formal dining room. From the dining room, sliding glass doors lead to an oasis of a large, wrap-around deck ideal for entertaining, grilling or sipping coffee while enjoying the serenity. The dining room leads to a large eat-in kitchen complete with granite counters, convection and microwave built-ins, and wine fridge that will delight the savviest cooks and bakers alike. One of the home’s unique features is a lookout from the kitchen into the lower level den adding to a sense of cohesion and openness to both spaces.
The lower level is ready for anything you dream up. The expansive space can be used for a variety of purposes including den + office (actually, multiple office spaces), playroom, exercise space, craft room, artist studio, theater or many other possibilities. This level also includes a powder room and access to both the paved patio with raised flowerbeds, and to an attached garage. There is plenty of space to add a mudroom space off the garage as well. Use your imagination and creativity to make this space perfect for your lifestyle and interests!
Taking the stairs from the main floor up, you enter the home’s main living floor including a full hall bathroom with tub & double vanity and three bedrooms including the Main Bedroom. The Main Bedroom includes two generous closets as well as an updated ensuite bathroom with shower and double vanity. The washer and dryer located on this level make laundry a breeze.
Another short flight of stairs leads to an oversized fourth bedroom that could certainly be the home’s third living space or home office. Up one more short flight of stairs is the fifth bedroom, which could alternatively be an ideal studio for the musician in your life, or another home office option. This uppermost level also includes plenty of storage in strategically placed and large closets off the access hallway.
If you love to walk and would prefer not to rely on your vehicle, 434 Drexel Place offers an ideal location. Within a pleasant 15 minute sidewalk, tree-lined stroll lie destinations including: Swarthmore College, The Swarthmore Co-Op, The Swarthmore Public Library, various dining options including Village Vine, Broad Table Tavern & Hobbs, PLUS the Swarthmore SEPTA station on the Media-Wawa line, with service to and from Philadelphia and the Philadelphia International Airport. Be in Philly’s 30th Street Station in less than 30 minutes using SEPTA! By car, 434 Drexel Place is a short 6 minutes from the I-476/I-95 interchange and 15 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport. For EV owners, the driveway has a 40-amp outside outlet ready for an electric vehicle’s charger. We invite you explore 434 Drexel Place, a lovingly kept home that has an impeccable location, many new upgrades and a surprising amount of space in the sought-after, stunning Swarthmore Borough.
