If you are looking for an elegant home, don't forget that right around the corner in Swarthmore is Riverview Farms Estate. This gentleman's farm was built in 1908 by Caroll Thayer on what was originally a 1,500 acre tract purchased from William Penn. The property still includes more than 3 acres of beautiful grounds. Hand hewn granite from the old Swarthmore quarry gives the exterior distinction. Six bedrooms, three full baths and four half baths as well as a ballroom, pool, and garage with apartment offer luxurious space for entertaining and living! Beautiful original details meet modern updates - and four zones of heating allow for comfort! Although Riverview Farms' large parcel gives a feeling of privacy - it is only a two blocks from the Swarthmore Swim Club and Town Soccer field and less than a a half mile from Swarthmore village train station, shops and library! This home, in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, is being offered to the public for the first time! For more information about the community feel free to visit www.SwarthmoreAgent.com!
