Description

Welcome to 738 Fairview Road! We invite you to approach and explore the generous green space out front and out back of the home. Enter into a meticulous sunlit primary living space and adjoining dining room with beautiful hardwood floors throughout as well as original crown moldings and details. Continue through to the rather spacious kitchen with an additional eat-in area roomy enough for a full sized table and chairs. The kitchen has been updated and modernized with granite countertops and white shaker cabinets! Off the eating area is a bonus family room: a feature you do not see in homes like this in the area! Explore the upstairs floor of the home and you will find four, yes, four bedrooms each well sized with a sunny demeanor and enough room and closet space for his and hers belongings. Centered in the hallway is the full bathroom tiled by design with a white vanity and medicine cabinet for storage. Venture downstairs to the finished basement for added living space and hanging out as well as space for additional storage and the property's mechanical systems. Take your time and relaxation out back to the private, fenced in rear yard with raised deck with covered pergola as well as plenty of green space and a cornered fire pit! This property is located in the highly sought after Ridley school district and is centrally located close to many shops, restaurants, and boutiques, as well as a short commute to all major roads and avenues of transportation.

    "Swarthmore is a throwback to a different era. There is a strong sense of community. A swim club, coop market, and a community library plus a small business district add to the color. The schools are very good. Plenty of green space."

    "For being such a tiny town, Swarthmore does an excellent job of engaging the community with events all summer long. The only downsides are the lack of a local pub and the extreme taxes. "

    "I live in this neighborhood and find it a uniquely cozy, rural neighborhood surrounding Swarthmore College with many historic homes, woods, trees, flowers, birds of many species, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and fox. Swarthmore College tennis courts are to our house's immediate right and the soccer and rugby playing fields across the street stretch out beyond to the late nineteenth century train station (R3 Swarthmore stop). There is a quaint town with local businesses, restaurants, food co-op, and local library all run by local people."

    "Lehigh Circle in Swarthmore is an idyllic setting for retiring and/or raising a family. There is a beautiful neighborhood park and the neighbors are top notch. Lehigh Circle is in Swarthmore but you don't pay the high Swarthmore taxes! The best of both worlds, I say!"
