First Bank House of the Week: Attractive Colonial in Swarthmore

This attractive Colonial home at 607 Fairview Road in Swarthmore is for sale.

An attractive and lovingly renovated colonial home at 607 Fairview Road, with three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms is available for sale in Swarthmore, writes Paul Jablow for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

After purchasing the house in 2023 with his wife, Scott Morrison bonded with his 89-year-old widowed father when they were able to renovate the space together.

“He hung some doors, did trim, a little bit of anything,” said Morrison. “He moves a little slow, but he gets it done.”

The renovations – some requiring contractors – included a new roof, remodeled kitchen, newly installed half-bath, and a complete rebuild of the second-floor deck.

The kitchen now features quartz countertops and backsplash, along with new appliances.

The primary bedroom on the second floor features a Juliet balcony, while two additional bedrooms and a half-bath complete the level.

The home offers ample closet space throughout, including in the fully-floored attic and basement.

The property, with private off-street driveway, is conveniently located near Regional Rail and downtown Swarthmore.
