Outside there is a wonderful level backyard adjacent to the large deck and a 2-car detached garage with spiral staircase and electricity for a myriad of uses! This home is the epitome of modern living while preserving the charm and character of its historical roots. And, it's location is unparalleled - the best of suburban living with Swarthmore College nearby, the charming downtown just a few blocks away including access to Philly via the nearby SEPTA station!
