Welcome to 512 Yale Avenue! This lovely classic Colonial-style house is located in one of Swarthmores signature streets with access to the shops, restaurants and other great amenities of downtown Swarthmore. Walkable Swarthmore surrounds this wonderful location; just blocks to the regional train station, public library, Umoja Park, Rutgers Field, Swarthmore College, and much more.
This beautifully designed home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the second floor and a living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, a half bath, and a screened-in porch on the main floor. Outside you can walk from the driveway to a large, private bricked patio, shaded by arching trees, to a sitting area under a pergola, a lovely setting for entertaining friends and family, or reading your favorite book. The detached two-car garage provides plenty of room for your car and bicycles or it can be a future office/studio. The surrounding garden features flowering woodies such as rhododendron, azalea, and other decorative plants and trees.
When you tour the house, you will see beautiful hardwood floors throughout and lots of windows that provide natural light in every corner of this home. The living room features a handsome stone fireplace flanked by windows and built-ins. The dining room opens up to the family room and has windows with southeast exposure. The large, updated eat-in kitchen has attractive natural cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, recessed lights, and a spacious area for a kitchen table. The second floor bedrooms are well proportioned. The primary bedroom is surrounded by four windows and it has its own full bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a full bathroom that is located on the second floor hallway.
A bonus for those who love to bicycle, 512 Yale Avenue is located along the Bicyclists' Baltimore Pike route, a signed-route that you can follow all the way to Philadelphia.
This home has a lot to offer and the location cannot be beat!
