Property Description
Welcome to 20 Oberlin Avenue, a charming 1925 Craftsman nestled on a peaceful, tree-lined street in the heart of Swarthmore. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends historic character with thoughtful updates, all within blocks of the SEPTA station, Swarthmore Co-op, Farmers Market, library, restaurants, and more. Step onto the inviting front deck and into a light-filled living room featuring an original Inglenook fireplace with custom benching and built-ins. The first floor also includes a den/office with floor-to-ceiling shelving, a spacious dining room with stained glass detail, and an updated kitchen offering gas cooking, abundant cabinetry, and striking Turkish tilework. A full bath, mudroom, and laundry area complete the main level and open to a large, private rear deck with pergola and lush landscaping-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, find four bright bedrooms-one with a skylight and two with walk-in closets-along with a renovated hall bath featuring a soaking tub. Additional storage is available in the attic with drop-down stairs and in the basement. The home includes a rare oversized two-car garage, newer HVAC (2022), and washer/dryer (2021). Oberlin Avenue is a quiet enclave of just eleven homes, surrounded by seasonal beauty and access to routes through Swarthmore College's scenic campus as well as regional amenities such as the airport and center city Philadelphia.
