What's around 132 Rutgers Avenue

About this property

Welcome to 132 Rutgers Avenue, a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, nestled in the heart of Swarthmore that is sure to enchant with a charming aesthetic that honors its age and architectural beauty. Step past the classic brick exterior and onto the inviting wrap-around porch - a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while surrounded by beautiful gardens curated with native plants to attract birds and butterflies. Once inside, notice the gorgeous hardwood floors, crown molding, lovely woodworking details, and a center staircase with sightlines from the first to third floors. The large and warm living room is filled with windows and complete with a working fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and exposed beams. Follow the hardwood floors to the stylish dining room. The eat-in kitchen with maple hardwood floors offers direct access to the backyard, great for grilling or garden gatherings. The fully-fenced yard is home to mature landscaping and has a magical feel with wildflowers, apple trees, elderberries, and more. The second floor is home to three bedrooms including a large primary with an en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms sit on the other side of the landing with a convenient hall bathroom. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms - one with arched windows and the other with built-in bookshelves. Depending on your needs they could also be used as any combination of bedroom, den, lounge, playroom, or office. The unfinished basement has been waterproofed and provides storage and a laundry area as well as an exit to the yard. The driveway can comfortably fit two cars. This location could not be better!! You'll enjoy a quick walk to downtown Swarthmore and everything the town has to offer - the train to Philadelphia, local shops, restaurants, playgrounds, the Co-op market, and the picturesque arboretum at Swarthmore College. You'll also love the proximity to the library, community center and farmer's market.
