Lease can start anytime between May 1st and July 1st, 2019. We are looking for a yearly lease. * Elegant bi-level, 2-bedroom apartment with outdoor deck and parking spot in the heart of college town. * Located in the middle of Swarthmore, one of the region?s most welcoming and appealing towns. The town boasts approximately two dozen independently-owned businesses, including restaurants and cafes, a cooperative supermarket, services like dry-cleaning and must-haves like a hardware store. It has a slightly old-fashioned feel, isolated from the busy traffic of Baltimore Pike and yet within 5-10 minutes drive of the Springfield Mall and bustling Media, PA. Swarthmore is one of the most popular suburban towns in the region not just because of its charm, convenient location and tight community bonds, but also because of its extremely strong schools and its diversity. The town has a regular farmer?s market in the spring, summer and fall, an excellent public library and the Septa Regional Rail stop is just adjacent to the town center -- one half block from the unit, and with it, access to Center City Philadelphia and University City in only 20 minutes. Less than 5 minutes drive to 476 and to 95 -- and only 15 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport by car -- 25 minutes to Center City Philadelphia by car. * The unit is in a three-story building along Swarthmore?s ?main street?, a row of quaint, Tudor-style buildings that are one of its most distinctive features; the ground level is a business and the unit takes up the top two floors. * This apartment has been renovated very recently and it shows: wood floors in perfect condition, high-end kitchen and lovely lighting fixtures. The entry is on the ground level and opens into a flight of stairs directly up to the first level, which is the main floor of the unit: open-plan, huge room with beautiful, finished hardwood floors and more than enough space for a full dining area and a spacious, bright living room. At the front of the unit there are a series of large windows overlooking the town, tons of light. At the other end of the first level is space for the dining area - plus chandelier in a classic style - and the high end kitchen separated by a countertop and bar seating. Very new kitchen has silestone countertops, antique-style cabinetry, stainless steel sink and porcelain tile backsplash. Gorgeous pendant lamps hang over the bar seating, giving it a welcoming space while separating the kitchen a bit from the dining area. A kitchen door opens out to pretty deck -- more than enough room for outdoor furniture -- plus an exterior staircase down to small parking area in rear (with reserved spot for the unit). Deck is perfect for three seasons of use, a huge bonus of space and fresh air. * From the first level, the staircase to the second level runs along the side of the room - wooden railing is unpainted and in excellent, almost-new condition. Upstairs are the two bedrooms - airy and bright - which both have large built-in closets with folding doors. Full bathroom has porcelain tile throughout, bathtub/shower, plus room for a shelving unit -- or a small washing machine! Owner hand-picked antique-style lighting fixtures for the bedrooms and the bathroom, as well as the sconces, chandelier and pendant lamps on the first level. Filled with lovely, tasteful details, high-quality materials and in excellent condition, this apartment is a gem. * 1,200 square feet; 2 extra-large closets upstairs plus a storage closet on the first level; perfect for an individual, couple or small family; recently painted; bi-level gives bedrooms and bathroom additional privacy from the first level; more than enough space for a full living room and dining room on the first level, and even for a significant library or office area. * This unique unit is a great place to locate a home-office or practice, to raise a family or to escape the congestion of the city. It could be particularly well-suited to a counselor, coach, psychologist or psychiatrist seeking a home-office: One year or longer
