About 241 Ogden Ave

Timeless Elegance Meets Lasting Comfort in This Dutch Colonial in Swarthmore! Welcome to a one-of-a-kind home in Swarthmore, thoughtfully built between 1923-1927, and nestled over a beautifully landscaped 0.8-acre lot. Ideally positioned to maximize privacy and scenery, this stately home offers gorgeous wooded views in a rare blend of historic charm and modern livability—perfect for those seeking their forever home. A hand-laid brick and stone walkway invites you to the custom antique, glassed front door. Just inside, a discreetly placed coat closet and powder room off the Foyer offer everyday convenience. The elegant center hall begs you to enter with French doors that open to one of several serene terraces, each perfectly situated to showcase the deep, curated lawn and invite the outdoors in. To the right, the front-to-back living room is anchored by an impressive wood-burning fireplace and opens to yet another terrace through its own set of French doors—ideal for quiet mornings or cool evening breezes. To the left, an open office area leads to a Juliet balcony that connects seamlessly with the formal dining room. Tucked just beyond, a unique sunroom with Spanish tile flooring, a lovely bowed window, three built-in bookcases and a small fireplace offers more living space . There is also a charming staircase to the second floor and a tiled Butler's Bar. Step down through the arched doorway to the formal dining room: graciously appointed with deep silled windows and access to the Juliet balcony. Just steps away, the remodeled kitchen has been thoughtfully opened up and modernized to include a bright eat-in area, a spacious prep area with granite counters, ample cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. A second staircase and service entrance provide easy access to the back porch and garage. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers privacy, comfort and stunning views. Once part of a former in-law suite, this spacious retreat now features soaring vaulted ceilings, windows overlooking the lush grounds and creek below and a show stopping ensuite bathroom. Complete with granite-topped vanity, terrazzo tile flooring, a walk-in shower, and dual custom sinks, this spa-like space is designed with both elegance and function in mind. There are 4 more spacious bedrooms and two more bathrooms on this floor. And do not miss the finished Rec Room in the basement! Outfitted with an extensive tv/audio system, this space provides a perfect retreat for all your tv viewing. The kitchenette and powder room also bring utility to the space. A 2-car Garage with 2nd floor storage is accessed from Swarthmore Avenue for a private entry to the house from the covered back door. With curb appeal abounding, 241 Ogden Avenue enjoys all that Swarthmore has to offer with fair, food truck and parade days so much fun. And, of course, the local shops, public Library, Swim Club, CO-OP grocery store, and train station. Served by prestigious Blue Ribbon Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, you are just twenty minutes from Philadelphia International Airport by car, and thirty minutes from downtown Philadelphia or Wilmington. From its classic architecture to its thoughtfully designed living spaces and breathtaking views, this home offers the perfect combination of timeless beauty and modern convenience—tailor-made for those looking to settle into their next, and forever, chapter.
