    Welcome to 540 Westminster Avenue, a timeless brick colonial in the coveted Swarthmore community. This home is located a short distance from the Elementary School and just a stone's throw away from the district's track and field and wonderful playgrounds! This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence has been beautifully updated over the past decade, seamlessly blending classic architecture with modern amenities. Upon entering, you are greeted by new gleaming hickory hardwood floors that flow throughout most of the main level. The arched entryways create a warm and inviting aesthetic, leading you into the spacious and light-filled living areas. You enter into a large living room with lots of daylight. The heart of the home is the stunning gourmet kitchen, featuring custom, soft-close hard maple cabinetry, luxurious quartz countertops, a convenient bar area, and other high-end appointments. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a beautifully updated powder room and access to the private brick patio. A notable addition to this home is the family room, complete with its own dedicated heating and air conditioning split system and a second doorway to the patio and backyard – perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The first floor also offers a versatile step-down office or den, which could easily serve as a guest bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite awaits, boasting a recently added en suite bathroom with an authentic teak vanity, a jetted tub, and lovely tile work. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and another fully renovated hall bathroom with classic octagonal tile flooring and an enameled cast iron tub complete the second level. The exterior of the property is just as impressive, with a lovely patio overlooking a level and generously sized backyard, offering ample space for recreation and relaxation. Owners attended to upgrades like Pella windows throughout, a A/C system with HEPA filter, and tech additions like Nest climate control and smoke detector systems, keyless lock, and a new 50 amp outdoor electric vehicle charger ready socket. This thoughtfully renovated Swarthmore colonial is in a wonderful neighborhood - less than a mile to downtown Swarthmore and the SEPTA rail line into Philadelphia, a short distance to some local favorites like 320 Produce, Swarthmore Pizza and more!
