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. The stone walk leads to the front entrance and into the main floor of the house. The open plan begins with the living room, featuring hard wood floors and a beautiful picture window. 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.
