More than meets the eye? Enjoy one floor living in this stone and brick ranch home, less than a mile from downtown Swarthmore with its library, shops and residential rail station! The glow of the post light welcomes you to the front door of this mid-century modern rancher with gleaming oak floors. Step inside to be stunned at the unexpectedly beautiful views found throughout. The open great room includes a large living room with a bright picture window overlooking the curve of Mount Holyoke, and a dining room with plenty of room for entertaining. French doors lead to the family room. This space was recently renovated to bring the outside in through a wall of bright windows overlooking the backyard and the Crum Creek woods beyond. The renovated kitchen features oak cupboards, Dutch tile backsplash, custom lighting, and stainless steel appliances including a dual fuel GE Profile range, built-in GE Profile microwave, side-by-side GE refrigerator and Whirlpool dishwasher. The bedroom wing includes a spacious master suite with a full bath, a full hall bath, a first-floor laundry cupboard with included stackable washer and dryer, and two additional bedrooms with beautiful views over the trees. Downstairs, the full daylight basement offers a panoramic vista of the backyard through large picture windows. Sensible features include a newer roof, built-in garage with inside access, and Central Air. Served by Springfield schools, yet in the Swarthmore postal code, this home offers a picture-perfect location, less than a mile from downtown Swarthmore, with unexpectedly beautiful and private views.
