Description

In the 1920's, renowned builder Carroll Thayer and developer Louis Cole Emmons, both lifelong Swarthmoreans, sought to build a physical expression of their admiration for the Borough in enduring stone & walnut. Thayer and Emmons presented a selection of elegant stone homes with luxuries that were decades ahead of their time in a stunning location. To this day, these homes are among Swarthmore's most desired residences, beloved by generations of lucky owners and seldom available to the public. The...In the 1920's, renowned builder Carroll Thayer and developer Louis Cole Emmons, both lifelong Swarthmoreans, sought to build a physical expression of their admiration for the Borough in enduring stone & walnut. Thayer and Emmons presented a selection of elegant stone homes with luxuries that were decades ahead of their time in a stunning location. To this day, these homes are among Swarthmore's most desired residences, beloved by generations of lucky owners and seldom available to the public. The understated elegance of the granite exterior belies the extraordinary luxury inside. Mercer tiles on the front patio welcome guests and offer the first hint that the original charm of this home has been preserved. Enter the walnut front door to the beveled glass vestibule. The sweeping center hall introduces the fireplaces & large windows that lend charm & airiness to the stately interior. The spacious living room features an original built-in bookcase & a grand fireplace w/Mercer tiles. Doors from the living & dining rooms lead to the solarium, which offers peaceful views over the property as well as a beautiful original decorative fountain & fireplace. The expansive formal dining room is perfect for entertaining. The butler's pantry leads to the eat-in-kitchen, which is quite large even by modern standards, and offers a perfect flow between work space & entertaining space as well as the simple luxury of a pretty view from the sink. Off the kitchen, a raised stone patio is the perfect spot to relax. The study boasts a handsome fireplace w/original screen, featuring the same lyres echoed in the staircase railings. A bank of windows fills this space w/light, making it an irresistible place to work or read. Also on the 1st floor are a bedroom suite with a full bath, perfect for an in-law or au pair, and a convenient powder room off the center hall. The handsome staircase leads to a sitting area on the landing with a gorgeous bank of windows. The second floor is home to master suite, and three additional Brms w/ample closets, beautiful views & en suite baths. The 3rd floor landing offers another sitting area, as well as two additional bedrooms, bath, library with fireplace & custom bookshelves. The full basement has ample storage, an oversized 2 car garage, and a door to spacious backyard. This distinctive home is located just blocks from the soccer field, swim club and Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School.
