251 SCHOOL LANE, SPRINGFIELD, PA 19064 - Turning Houses into Homes!

$525,000

Situated on a quiet side street, yet close to everything, this brick Cape Cod has been meticulously upgraded within the past 5 years. The property has a fully fenced in rear yard and a small rambling stream (not in a flood zone) at the far border of the yard. There… Read More is no home directly behind the house, so privacy is ensured when entertaining on the rear deck. Approach the home down a lovely brick pathway to the covered front porch. Step inside, and there is a renovated powder room in the entry vestibule. A spacious living room with a gas-burning fireplace is open directly to a large family room overlooking the back yard. The formal dining room overlooks the front yard and opens to the completely renovated kitchen which includes stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz counters and a peninsula with seating for two. There is a spacious breakfast room with a picture window overlooking the yard and access to the deck. Between the breakfast & family rooms is a huge walk-in pantry & 1st floor laundry. Upstairs, you'll find three large bedrooms along with a fully renovated hall bathroom. While the basement is un-finished, an entirely new floor was just installed and the walls freshly painted. It would take minimal effort to complete the space. There is a 1-car garage and driveway parking for two cars plus ample street parking for guests. In walking distance from the house, one can hop on the 101 Trolley that takes you to Media at one end and the 69th Street Transportation Center at the other end. A few blocks away, one can access the 22 acre Indian Rock Park and take a leisurely stroll along the Darby Creek. Also nearby is Walsh Park, a 19 acre space for dog walking with a playground, basketball courts as well as a baseball, football and soccer fields. The Springfield Library is also in walking distance. A quick 10 minute drive gets one to downtown Swarthmore, with SEPTA regional rail service directly to downtown Philadelphia. Here one finds a quaint old-fashioned village of family-owned businesses, the Swarthmore Coop (a great place to buy your food and support the community) as well as the amazing Scott Arboretum on the campus of Swarthmore College. Just 10 minutes farther away is Media, the county seat and home to tons of great restaurants, events (including the weekly Dining Under the Stars and the annual 4th of July Parade) as well as a Trader Joe's. One can get to the Philadelphia Airport in just 20-25 minutes as well. Read Less
