About this home
Surrounded by tree-lined streets and filled with storybook charm, 315 Union Ave is a warm and welcoming oasis in the heart of Swarthmore. Combining farmhouse character with a generous quarter-acre lot, this happy, Victorian twin is filled with unique personality. Details include a classic front porch, original plank floors, tall functioning windows, exposed brick, and built-in stepback cupboards. The main floor features an arty open living and dining area that flows into a large, cheery eat-in kitchen, and a door to the practical rear mudroom with an exit to the yard. The second level has a wonderfully flexible arrangement of bright, connected rooms offering a 1-2 bedroom layout, with glass-paned French doors, built-in shelving, original woodwork, and large windows that continue the home’s distinctive feel. The full bathroom has its own personality, with crisp beadboard, classic fixtures, a soaking tub, and exposed copper shower hardware. Up one more level, the third floor features sun-filled spaces under angled ceilings that expand the possibilities for an additional bedroom, home office, and/or playroom. Step outside to a sunny, rectangular yard that offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, play, or relax. Beyond the property, Swarthmore is known for its welcoming small-town feel, historic character, and top-rated public schools. 315 Union Avenue is a quick stroll from Swarthmore’s restaurants, shops, Swarthmore College campus, and SEPTA’s Regional Rail service to Philadelphia. Convenient access to I-476 and I-95 keep the rest of the region within easy reach. Schedule your tour today!
