WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOME: Aside from the classic beauty of the home, we loved its location. Our son & daughter could safely walk through our friendly neighbor's back yard to the Swarthmore-Rutledge elementary school just two blocks away. The school is part of the award winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Nearby Swarthmore College offers outdoor concerts and lectures. The quaint town center has unique shops with a co-op grocery store, restaurants and a wonderful library. If you're into gardening, you'll love the celebrated Scott Arboretum on the college grounds. Bikers and hikers will enjoy the Leiper Trail eponymously named after the founder of the first operational railroad. The newly opened and beautiful Swarthmore Inn is a terrific gathering place with an exceptional happy hour. The period train station gives easy access to Philadelphia twenty-five minutes away. And fitness buffs will appreciate the nearby Healthplex.
