Welcome to this magnificently renovated five-bedroom, three full and two half baths stately home, where classic Georgian architectural character meets thoughtful modern updates at every turn. Located just a couple of blocks from Swarthmore Rutledge Elementary School, the Swarthmore Swim Club, and downtown Swarthmore — including the SEPTA rail line into Philadelphia — this home offers an unbeatable location. In addition, the Builder/Seller who renovated the home has decided to include the adjacent lot (419 N Swarthmore Ave, which is 110'x115') with the sale of 425 N Swarthmore Ave! It's so rare to find a home of this stature with this much property in downtown Swarthmore! This iconic Swarthmore home, perched above its neighbors, features a lovely front entry overlooking a fabulous blue sto ne patio that runs the expanse of the home, alongside beautifully landscaped grounds — setting a majestic tone before you even step inside. The oversized foyer welcomes you with original black-and-white tile. Up two steps, the classic foyer opens to an enormous living room on the left, featuring custom moulding, a gas fireplace, and elegant wall sconces, plus French doors leading to a large screened porch overlooking the level side yard. To the right of the foyer, a beautiful dining room beckons with a gorgeous wet bar showcasing custom glass-front cabinetry, a beverage refrigerator and architectural details echoed throughout the home. A second gas fireplace anchors the room with a gorgeous original brick hearth, complemented by a stunning glass chandelier and a covered outdoor space — perfect for grilling or enjoying a beverage before dinner. The adjoining kitchen is a showstopper, anchored by the stunning wet bar. Light-filled and open, it features a magnificent island with quartz counters, the highest of quality Goebelwood cabinetry, a lovely natural backsplash, abundant storage, and high-quality appliances including a magnetic induction range. The kitchen flows into a barrel vaulted family room with fabulous uplighting and also flooded with daylight, where a third fireplace (electric) — framed by a dramatic tile wall — serves as the true focal point. Built-in bookshelves and cabinets, a separate mini-split for heating and cooling, and yet another charming screened porch complete this exceptional living space. A stunning powder room, additional outdoor access, and a coat closet round out the main floor. Ascend the grand staircase, accented by a gorgeous Palladian window that fills the space with light. The primary suite awaits to the right, boasting an enormous walk-in closet and a fabulous en-suite bath with heated floors, dbl vanity and oversized stall shower as well as access to a large rooftop to enjoy one's morning coffee with a bird's eye view. Two additional bedrooms with generous closets share access to yet another delightful porch, along with a second full bath and a well-organized second-floor laundry. The third floor offers two more spacious bedrooms flanking another lovely full bath, plus a large walk-in closet off the far bedroom — ideal for off-season storage or countless other uses. The walk-out basement with entrance to a two car garage adds even more versatility, with a convenient mudroom entry, a handsome electric fireplace with tile surround, built-in cabinetry and wet bar with additional beverage refrigerator, two separate lounge and recreation areas perfect for a ping pong table or media space, a long work counter suited to projects, homework, Legos, or puzzles, and a second laundry hookup for added convenience. There is also unfinished space for storage! This is a home where every room — including the walk-out the basement — has been thoughtfully designed to invite you to live, gather, and enjoy indoor-outdoor living at its finest. Combined with truly stunning curb appeal, the fully renovated home includes all new plumbing, state of the art insulation, new heat pump, LED smart lights and electrical!
