Welcome home to 520 Bryn Mawr Ave, a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial split-level with a gorgeous fenced yard on a quiet street in Swarthmore. With four levels of finished living area, plus a walk-up attic and a basement, an attached one car garage, and a light-filled sunroom addition, this lovely home lives surprisingly large.

Past the living room is the kitchen and dining room which was remodeled to remove the partition wall. In back is a sunroom addition overlooking the pretty and level back yard with a handy storage shed. Down a partial flight of stairs is the family room with access to the one car garage. This level also has a laundry room and updated powder room, as well as a backdoor to the yard. Continue downstairs is a full unfinished basement, including a utility/storage room with newer HVAC system, and a main workout/rec room. Steps up from the main level are three nicely sized bedrooms and an updated full hall bathroom. Continue upstairs to the large primary suite including multiple closets, and a full bathroom. The next level up is a substantial storage attic. Located close to the tot lot, playground and track, 520 Bryn Mawr offer all the benefits of living in Swarthmore Borough including sidewalk, the SEPTA station, award-winning schools and wonderful community traditions like 4th of July bike races and the farmer’s market. The location also provides easy access to the airport and downtown Philadelphia.
