About this home

Welcome to 20 Fairview Road - a beautifully renovated, move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in one of Swarthmore's most convenient locations. Step through the front door into a bright, open-concept main level with rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and plantation shutters that give the space a polished, finished feel throughout. The fully updated kitchen is the true heart of the home, featuring dark custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a dramatic stone tile accent wall, stainless steel appliances, and a professional-grade range with a stainless hood vent. The dining area flows naturally off the kitchen, anchored by a stunning built-in cabinet and chandelier, with French doors leading directly out to the deck - making entertaining and everyday living a pleasure. Outside, the expansive pergola-covered deck overlooks a fully fenced, private backyard: the perfect setting for relaxing or hosting in every season. The lower level adds valuable bonus space with LVP flooring, built-in shelving, a double closet, and its own private entrance - ideal for a home office, gym, or media room. Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with great natural light, including a spacious primary suite with recessed lighting and a walk-through dressing area. The updated bath features a dark vanity, white countertops, and modern fixtures. An attached garage and driveway parking round out this exceptional home, along with Sunrun Solar for added energy efficiency and savings. All of this in an unbeatable Swarthmore location - walk to the train station, shops, restaurants, and parks, with direct SEPTA Regional Rail service to Center City Philadelphia, plus easy access to major highways and the airport.
