In the heart of Swarthmore Village, your dream cottage awaits. Tree-lined Park Avenue is the perfect setting for this Arts & Crafts gem. Step onto the custom-built porch, with sculpted brickwork and woodwork, for a taste of the unique Craftsman styling found throughout this very special home. A handsome wood door with beveled stained-glass sidelights welcomes guests into the tiled entry. The bright and spacious living room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-in bookshelves. The picturesque stained-glass windows above each built-in are believed to have been inspired by a Robert Browning poem. An open arch to the dining room will allow guests to spill from one space to the next during parties. A glass door from the dining room leads to the family room, with more built-in bookshelves as well as built-ins for entertainment equipment. The spacious first floor addition begins with a wonderful in-home office with tile floor and built-in desk and shelves. The handy first floor powder room has a tile floor and large storage vanity. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of space for a large table, and features recessed lighting, wood cabinets, granite counter tops, and stainless-steel appliances, to make cooking a pleasure. Multiple windows and French doors leading to the wraparound deck fill the kitchen with soft light. Upstairs, a bright landing leads to three charming bedrooms, each offering three bright windows and a closet. The full tile hall bath boasts a linen closet, storage vanity and white tile tub and shower surround. The large basement has been waterproofed for peace of mind. Dual zoned Central Air was installed in 2018, to keep the house comfortable no matter the season. Outside, the wraparound deck overlooks a spacious and fully fenced and landscaped backyard. Follow the brick walkway back to the artists studio. This spacious room, with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, sliding glass doors, and its own propane heating system, is sure to inspire, no matter the season. 343 Park Avenue offers magic both indoors and out. Whether watching the fireflies from the deck in the evening, or sipping your morning coffee on the front porch and watching the snow fall, this Arts & Crafts beauty will bring joy and comfort to every season. Swarthmores library, train station, shops and Co-op grocery store are all just three blocks from the front door. Served by sought-after Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, 343 Park is half an hour from Downtown Philadelphia by train or car, and twenty minutes from the Philadelphia International airport. Just one visit and you wont want to say good-bye.
