Description

315 South Chester Road is almost American Craftsman in style with its wide eaves, unique custom windows, and spacious design. The yellow brick and stucco construction houses 5/6 bedrooms, 2 baths and is not to be missed. Enter this home from the half-circle front porch with matching stairs, through a recessed arched doorway, and you find yourself in a formal FOYER. FRENCH DOORS on the left lead to a front-to-back LIVING ROOM, with woodstove insert FIREPLACE, built-in WINDOW SEAT, and separate sets...315 South Chester Road is almost American Craftsman in style with its wide eaves, unique custom windows, and spacious design. The yellow brick and stucco construction houses 5/6 bedrooms, 2 baths and is not to be missed. Enter this home from the half-circle front porch with matching stairs, through a recessed arched doorway, and you find yourself in a formal FOYER. FRENCH DOORS on the left lead to a front-to-back LIVING ROOM, with woodstove insert FIREPLACE, built-in WINDOW SEAT, and separate sets of French Doors lead to a side SCREENED PORCH and a backyard elevated patio. Or, go to the right into the FORMAL DINING ROOM featuring floor to ceiling, custom CHINA CABINETS with beveled glass and built-in lighting. Just past the small BUTLERS BAR is the KITCHEN: truly a GOURMET'S DELIGHT, with GRANITE COUNTERS, BREAKFAST BAR, WALK IN PANTRY, upgraded appliances. The bright and sunny FAMILY ROOM with gas log stove is open to the kitchen, MUD ROOM area and POWDER ROOM. This area has RADIANT HEAT, so nice on those chilly mornings! The three-story OPEN STAIRWELL illustrates the charm of Swarthmore's early days, with a landing partway up that overlooks the Foyer and a view out onto the gardens in back. The 2nd floor features three large bedrooms, a large LANDING and a spacious and sunny HALL BATH. From the 2nd floor landing the fully contained MASTER SUITE includes a MASTER BATH and DRESSING ROOM. Typical to these classic homes, there is a BACK STAIR to the kitchen off the Master Suite. The third floor completes the home with another large LANDING, 2 more BEDROOMS, EAVE STORAGE at the front of the house and two large ATTIC ROOMS on both sides of the house. Make this your office, teen hangout, or fill it with family. You'll spend most sunny days on the tiered FLAGSTONE BACK PATIOS overlooking the deep, fenced BACK YARD and the Wisteria covered arbor creates a quiet outdoor "room" for tea. A Gardener's Delight, the back yard has plenty of room for a soccer game, swing set, and currently, a chicken coop. A water spigot in the rear of the yard is handy to the garden, while a gravity fed drainage system helps dry the yard after heavy rains. The detached GARAGE is a potter's delight with running water and electric, and plenty of parking and turnaround space.
