    🌳 Land, Light & Lifestyle at 241 Ogden Avenue! 🏡✨ If you’ve been dreaming of a home with space to stretch out, this is the one! Set back off Ogden Avenue, this stunning circa 1920s residence is gracefully nestled on a beautifully landscaped 0.8-acre lot 🌿—an ideal blend of privacy, charm, and natural beauty. A hand-laid brick and stone walkway leads you to the custom antique glass front door 🚪. Enter a welcoming foyer with a convenient coat closet and powder room 🧥🚻. The elegant center hall beckons you forward, flanked by French doors that open to one of several serene terraces—perfect for enjoying the deep, green lawn and tranquil surroundings 🌞🌿. To the right, the front-to-back living room features a striking wood-burning fireplace 🔥 and another set of French doors that lead to yet another terrace—bringing the outdoors in. To the left, an open office area connects to a Juliet balcony and leads seamlessly into the formal dining room—a perfect space for hosting 🎉. Just beyond the office is a sunroom straight out of a storybook 📚💫. With Spanish tile flooring, a graceful bowed window, three built-in bookcases, and a cozy fireplace, it’s easy to see why this is a favorite spot! Bonus features on the main floor include a tiled butler’s bar, multiple staircases (yes—3 staircases up, 3 down, and even 3 garden bridges!) and a thoughtfully remodeled kitchen 🍳 featuring granite counters, a bright breakfast nook, abundant cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, windows framing scenic views 🌄, and an incredible ensuite bathroom with granite-topped vanity, walk-in shower, dual custom sinks, and terrazzo tile flooring 🛁. Four additional spacious bedrooms and two more full baths offer flexibility and room to grow 🛏🛏🛏🛏. Don't miss the finished basement rec room—a true entertainment hub complete with a built-in TV/audio system, kitchenette, and powder room 🎬🍿. 🚗 The 2-car garage (with second-floor storage!) offers private access off Swarthmore Avenue for added convenience. 🌟 All of this is located in the vibrant Swarthmore community—close to the town's events, parks, local shops, library, CO-OP grocery, Swim Club, and regional rail station 🚉. You're just 20 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport and a short commute to downtown Philly or Wilmington! 🏆 Served by the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, this home combines timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and unbeatable location. 📍 241 Ogden Avenue is more than a home—it’s a place to live your next chapter with beauty, comfort, and connection. 🏡💫
