A Rare Retreat on 2.45 Acres in the Heart of Swarthmore Nestled at the end of a quiet lane and surrounded by nature, this beautifully reimagined home sits on 2.45 private acres—a rare offering in Swarthmore. Comprised of three combined lots, the property offers endless possibilities for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the serenity of your own wooded oasis. No detail was overlooked in the complete renovation of this home. From the new circle drive leading into the property, the brand-new roof, electrical, and plumbing systems to the energy-efficient geothermal heating, even the electric is set for your car charger, everything has been thoughtfully upgraded. Natural light pours in through Pella windows, highlighting the quality craftsmanship and modern finishes throughout. The first floor consists of a gorgeous living room with the fireplace as its centerpiece flanked by built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room overlooks the rear yard. Off the kitchen is a fantastic mudroom, pantry and powder room. Lastly, the office/den is the perfect sanctuary to spend your time indoors. On the second floor are three bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. The primary has a walk-in closet and a large bathroom with a stunning soaking tub, double sinks and glass enclosed shower. The hall laundry is convenient for all the rooms. Before heading upstairs is a landing that overlooks the living room. It’s a great space for an office or hangout area. The third floor bedroom area is large enough for two beds and a lounge area. The full bathroom is complete with a second laundry area. This space is ideal for an au pair, in-law or office/guest space. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the trees or cozying up indoors, you’ll feel a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. This home is a perfect blend of privacy, sustainability, and modern living—all just minutes from the heart of Swarthmore and its charming downtown, college campus, and train station. Even though this home is tucked away, you are super close to the Philadelphia Airport and the Regional Rail that takes you into Center City Philadelphia. A home like this doesn’t come along often. Experience the peace and potential of 1115 Muhlenberg for yourself.
