Tucked away in one of Swarthmore’s most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, 740 Harvard Avenue is a move-in ready, beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Dutch Colonial that seamlessly balances privacy with town convenience. The property is ideally situated just across from the expansive Swarthmore College fields and a playground, making it effortless to catch local sporting events or enjoy the open green space on your own. A private driveway leads to an oversized two-car garage, which connects to the main house via a charming breezeway. This space doubles as a perfect covered porch—offering excellent potential for a future enclosure, or simply serving as a relaxed spot to sit and watch outdoor activities. Inside, the welcoming entry foyer centers around a dramatic, curved staircase. To the right, a sun-drenched, expansive living room boasts triple-exposure windows, classic refinished hardwood floors, modern recessed lighting, and a wood-fireplace that serves as a lovely focal point . Adjacent to the living area is a bright dining room featuring a striking, near-wall-length picture window that frames views of the verdant backyard. This space flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen, complete with painted cabinetry, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances, a separate casual eating area, and a full-sized pantry closet. A convenient powder room and deep coat closet complete the main level. The second floor houses four exceptionally bright corner bedrooms all with lighted ceiling fans, each benefiting from multi-directional natural light. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring dual closets and its own beautifully renovated full bath. The three additional bedrooms offer ample closet space, fantastic daylight, and share a freshly renovated hall bathroom. Below, the full, unfinished basement offers impressive headroom, extensive storage, a laundry area with a newer washer and dryer, and a built-in workbench—providing a clean canvas ready to be transformed into a finished bonus space. The HVAC system is only 4 years young, the roof was replaced in 2024 and 10' of the sewer pipe from the house to the street was replaced this year! This house is truly move-in ready with very little deferred maintenance expense! The outdoor spaces are a nature lover's dream, offering a private seating area and immediate access to the neighboring trails and parks. Located within the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, this home enjoys effortless sidewalk access to the SEPTA station, Crum Creek Woods, Swarthmore College, and vibrant village landmarks like The Celia Bookshop, all while offering a swift commute to the Philadelphia Airport and Center City.
