Description

A Rare Retreat on 2.4 Acres in the Heart of Swarthmore Nestled at the end of a quiet lane and surrounded by nature, this beautifully reimagined home sits on 2.4 private acres—a rare offering in Swarthmore. Comprised of three combined lots, the property offers endless possibilities for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the serenity of your own wooded oasis. No detail was overlooked in the complete renovation of this home. From the brand-new roof, electrical, and plumbing systems to the energy-efficient geothermal heating, everything has been thoughtfully upgraded. Natural light pours in through Pella windows, highlighting the quality craftsmanship and modern finishes throughout. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the trees or cozying up indoors, you'll feel a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. This home is a perfect blend of privacy, sustainability, and modern living—all just minutes from the heart of Swarthmore and its charming downtown, college campus, and train station. Even though this home is tucked away, you are super close to the Philadelphia Airport and the Regional Rail that takes you into Center City Philadelphia. A home like this doesn’t come along often. Experience the peace and potential of 1115 Muhlenberg for yourself.
