(Special note: Floor plans and professional photographs of interior and exterior spaces will be uploaded on 8/20/21.) This thoughtfully expanded and renovated center hall colonial offers elegant, airy spaces to enjoy while living, working and studying, all just blocks from Swarthmore town center. The handsome cedar shake exterior welcomes guests. Step into the center hall for a taste of the soft, neutral colors and finished oak floors found throughout the first floor. The living room boasts a brick wood-burning fireplace and three bright windows. On the other side of the center hall, the formal dining room has a chair rail and large windows overlooking the front lawn. The beautifully expanded gourmet kitchen boasts finished oak floors, custom white cabinets, with granite tops and mini-subway tile backsplash, an oversized granite island with the first of two stainless steel undermounted sinks, stainless steel appliances and a glass induction Kenmore Elite cooktop. Three skylights with remote controlled shades and screens brighten the spacious eating area, which is framed by a wall of glass doors overlooking the rear deck and lawn. The sunny family room is just off the kitchen and offers a triple bank of windows overlooking the backyard and a wall of built-ins. On the other side of the kitchen, a pocket door leads to a large second entry/mudroom. This beautiful, practical space with its heated floors and vaulted ceiling will help keep the whole house neat and tidy, no matter the time of year. Another pocket door from the mudroom leads to a large office with recessed lights and peaceful views. A coat closet and powder room complete the first-floor. Upstairs, a large landing leads to the expanded master suite, which includes a spacious bedroom with a double closet, a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and a luxurious master bath with heated floor, wraparound storage cabinets, double sinks, and an oversized stall shower with both a rain shower head and handheld shower. The full tile hall bath has a heated floor, pedestal sink and a tub with tile surround with glass accents and built-in shelf. Three additional bedrooms with peaceful views and large closets, as well as a good-sized linen closet can also be found on the second floor. The full, unfinished basement has great space for a workshop. A full French drain system with sump pump provides peace of mind. The newer HVAC system with dual zoned Central Air will keep the house comfortable all year long. Outside, the deck overlooks a large, level lawn. The charming newer two-car detached cedar shake garage is a wonderful space for cars and bicycles, and boasts double windows, a storage loft, an epoxy floor and an arts & crafts style door. From the classic curb appeal to the state-of-the art addition and garage designed by noted local architect Karen Sutton, 415 Strath Haven Avenue is truly an ideal Swarthmore home.
