What's around 5 Ogden Avenue

About this property

5 Ogden! Oh, what a beautiful home! With a deep front lot (.36acres in total), this classic Swarthmore stone center hall colonial oozes with charm and character. It starts at the front stone steps and brick patio and continues to the formal foyer. The formal living room, off to the left of the foyer, extends front to back, with French doors to the back patio. This room shows off the lovely hardwood flooring that is throughout the home and features an elegantly mantled stone fireplace with original Mercer tiles. You enter a sunroom from either side of the living room fireplace, where a serene, retreat awaits. The entire sunroom curves around a second wood paneled fireplace and mature landscaping outside keeps this room warm and inviting. Finished terracotta flooring adds to the appeal, and there is a seamed copper roof above. Flowing through to the formal dining room on the left of the foyer, notice the deep windowsills, corner hutch and crown molding and entry to the kitchen. The kitchen is a true cook’s joy! A custom paneled refrigerator, stainless wall ovens, gas cooktop and custom tile backsplash make cooking easy. And a large breakfast area sits under a panel of windows to the patio. A fantastic and unexpected mudroom is open to the kitchen and adds so much! Do not miss the hidden laundry chute, potting counter with copper sink, desk, and floor to ceiling cabinetry. There are so many ways to use this space! The primary bedroom on the second floor has much to offer as well! Flooded with light from the front and back and anchored by custom built in bookcases at either end, this beautiful bedroom includes a small step-down sitting room and spacious ensuite Bath complete with shower, soaking tub, double bowl sinks, custom cabinetry, walk in closet, and the laundry chute to the mud room. This is truly a joy and such a surprise in a home of this age! There are three generously sized secondary bedrooms, one with Hall Bath access. The third floor includes a finished yoga studio/office/fifth bedroom with skylights and carpet. A large storage room is on this floor as well. The finished basement is a perfect rec room with a painted floor, storage cabinets, a linen closet and laundry area tucked away behind louvered doors. An unfinished area includes a utility sink and ample shelved and open storage space. NEW gas HVAC, gas hot water. The tile and flagstone patio is accessed from the living room and mudroom and is terraced, leading up to sheltered dining area under a wisteria pergola. Fencing surrounds the back yard for the family pets. And there is interior access to the garage from the kitchen as well. With curb appeal abounding, 5 Ogden Avenue enjoys all that Swarthmore has to offer with fair, food truck and parade days so much fun. And, of course, the local shops, public Library, Swim Club, CO-OP grocery store, and train station. Served by prestigious Blue Ribbon Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, you are just twenty minutes from Philadelphia International Airport by car, and thirty minutes from downtown Philadelphia or Wilmington. Beauty and history seeped in carefully curated landscaping. Just one visit and you won’t want to say goodbye! And for another look, watch the video, attached. Floorplans are on their way!
