The main full bathroom on the second floor was stripped to the studs and remodeled in 2022. The current owners installed a new street-to-house sewer and water piping, new windows throughout the basement, a new basement-to-second floor sewage piping stack, as well as structural reinforcements to the foundation. The private backyard is flanked by a new split-rail fence and plantings screen the perimeter with an enclosed kitchen garden and a large new masonry patio designed for outdoor entertainment. A detached single-car garage and unfinished 3rd floor attic provides ample additional storage space. The entire exterior stone foundation was expertly repointed in 2019 and a new flagstone pathway and front steps installed in 2020, along with a newly paved driveway (2024). This classic Swarthmore residence will not last long!
