Property Description

It’s truly something special when the dignity and grace of a 90+ year old home has been respected and tastefully updated and filled with love as owners and the world around us changes. Ballrooms and
conservatories of the past evolve into family rooms and offices and primary bedrooms. Homes and people adapt and space transforms and allow us to offer to the market the exquisite 244 Ogden Avenue. Pass through the front vestibule into a proper foyer with a chessboard floor and access to all points in the home. To the right, a library with built-in bookcases, a fireplace with wood mantle emblazoned with the words, “East, West, Home is Best” provides a comfortable, if formal, entertaining space. Beyond the library, awaits “The Snug” - truly the heart of this home. Once a ballroom and acoustically designed music space, The Snug offers a proportioned space for a sitting area surrounding a gas fireplace and built-in media station at one end, and a bar & billiards salon at the other end. There are gentlemen’s and ladies’ half bathrooms and coat closets for visitors as well. Beyond the main foyer to the rear of the home is a sun room with access through lead glass doors to the terraced back yard with a patio dining area, hot tub and outdoor stone fireplace. From the sun room, enter the updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a newer soapstone center island with built-in microwave, and a soapstone backsplash. There is a large pantry around the corner (which includes plumbing for alternate laundry) as well as a home office with built-in desk, and powder room. The kitchen connects to a formal dining room with hard wood floors, built-in storage, elegant trim with windows overlooking the back yard. Back to the main foyer you can ascend the center staircase to the upper floors, but be sure to check out the Harry Potter closet tucked under the stairs before you do so. The second floor features a primary bedroom suite with large walk-in closet and updated primary bathroom with double vanity, large glass-enclosed shower and separate toilet room. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor including two that share an updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The third floor of their house had been transformed into the perfect gamer hang-out suite - boasting a large bedroom, with attached lounge for gaming, puzzling, and maybe even homework, as well as another updated full bathroom. The semi-finished basement provides additional space for storage, an exercise space and a full laundry room. The home is situated in the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, and less than 3/4 of a mile to the Borough of Swarthmore where you’ll find The Coop, Hobbs, Broad Table Tavern, Ship Bottom Brewery as well as the Swarthmore Regional Rail SEPTA Station. Swarthmore is less than 15 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport and just 20 minutes to either Wilmington, DE, or Center City Philadelphia or 90 minutes to either New York City or Baltimore.
