Property Description

Welcome to 629 University Place, an extensively renovated Colonial situated on one of Swarthmore's most picturesque and quintessential tree-lined streets. Just a short walk to downtown Swarthmore, the train station, and the beautiful campus of Swarthmore College, this exceptional home offers the rare combination of timeless character, modern amenities, and an unbeatable walk-to-town lifestyle. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, the home blends historic charm with the comfort and peace of mind of modern living. Extensive improvements include a brand-new roof, all new OKNA 800 Series windows, a new insulated garage door, new HVAC system, new hot water heater, conversion from oil to natural gas, a complete electrical rewire, new plumbing serving the kitchen and bathrooms, and a new plumbing stack. Fresh interior and exterior paint and new ¾-inch solid oak hardwood flooring throughout complete the transformation.
Inside, abundant natural light highlights the home's original character and fills the inviting living spaces. At the heart of the home is a stunning new kitchen featuring an open, spacious layout designed for entertaining and everyday living. All bathrooms have been fully renovated, including the transformation of a former half bath into a full en-suite bath, creating a desirable primary suite rarely found in homes of this era. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, including the primary suite, along with a versatile bonus room that is ideal for a home office, nursery, reading room, or creative space. This flexible layout provides options to fit a variety of lifestyles and needs. The spacious living and dining areas retain the warmth and character that make Swarthmore's historic homes so special. The living room features a fully functional wood-burning fireplace enhanced by a new HeatShield chimney lining. Adding to the home's charm is a beautifully rebuilt three-season sunroom featuring new framing, insulation, and Eze-Breeze windows. Overlooking the backyard, this bright and comfortable space is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the changing seasons. The basement has been professionally improved with waterproofing, including a new partial French drain system, new sump pit and sump pump, and newly finished stucco walls. Clean, dry, and ready for storage, recreation, or future finishing, the basement offers exceptional flexibility. Outside, newly completed landscaping, backyard grading, and fresh grass seed provide a welcoming setting for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining. Whether you're strolling into town for dinner, catching the train, enjoying the shops and restaurants of downtown Swarthmore, or taking a walk through the campus of Swarthmore College, you'll appreciate the unique lifestyle this location provides. Combining classic character with extensive modernization, 629 University Place is a truly turnkey home where the hard work has already been done.
Owner is a licensed PA Realtor.
