A convenient first-floor Laundry Room/Mud Room is tucked off the Kitchen and leads to a simply stunning Full Bath with rain shower head, frameless glass shower door, and skylight. An outside entrance to the fenced in yard offers Deck and Patio space for entertaining as well as full weather-proof storage underneath.Three large Bedrooms with well-sized closets are on the second floor. There is an expanded Hall Bath with double vanity and tub and lovely subway tile on the second floor as well.

The attic can be finished and used for an Office, Play Room or simply additional storage space. Bonus!!! The full Basement allows for plenty of storage, a Play Area, workbench, extra washer/dryer, and even space for an Office. Many wonderful upgrades and improvements throughout, from the adorable Greenroof over the addition to custom window treatments, dual-zone air conditioning and an all new gas furnace (2021). Town, train, and the award-winning Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School/Playground are just steps away. 205 Dartmouth is also walking distance to the local Swim Club, Swarthmore College Campus, several parks, and the Swarthmore Co-Op!
