109 S PRINCETON AVE Swarthmore, PA 19081

This large home, built in 1891, is one of a number of houses built by the Swarthmore Improvement Company in the years before incorporation. Charles B. Parker, one of the partners in the company, and his family were the original residents of the home. Designed by architect Samuel Milligan, it is stone on the first story and shingle above. This is one of Swarthmore's best preserved classic Queen Anne Style architecture with a wrap-around porch, stained glass windows, a turret and a variety of surface and detail. The house has been meticulously renovated over the years to include new rift/quarter sawn white oak hardwood flooring throughout 1st and 2nd floors, gorgeous new solid mahogany interior doors throughout house, living room fireplace including custom tile and gas installation, replacement of majority of storm windows with acoustic grade Mon-Ray storm windows, refurbishment of almost every window in the house, installation of a whole house generator and the list goes on and on. In addition, the detached Carriage home has been refurbished to include a garage with automatic barn doors, a workshop with heating/air and electricity and a finished 2nd floor with gorgeous bead board on walls and ceiling, a ductless split HVAC system, tasteful lighting and refurbished gorgeous windows making this a very special work from home space or recreational space! The grounds at 109 S Princeton are truly fairytale-like in both the front and rear with stunning flowering beds that boarder a pristine front and rear lawn. All of this, in the heart of downtown Swarthmore - a block or two from the public library, the CO-OP food market, SEPTA rail line, coffee shops and retail!
