Welcome to Unit #819 at the Strath Haven Condominium, a two-bedroom, two full bath condo filled with natural light throughout. This spacious corner apartment faces east and south with a large balcony facing Harvard Avenue that looks out over the celebrated rose bushes of the Strath Haven. While typical two bedroom apartments in the building are 1,050 square feet, this end unit is a more ample 1,180 square feet. The unit is laid out with a combined living room and dining area, offering access to the balcony through a glass sliding door flanked by plate glass windows. The galley kitchen is thoughtfully designed with generous cabinets to help keep this space well organized. The expansive countertops give plenty of space for more than just one cook to prepare a meal. The primary bedroom faces south with a beautiful view of the stately copper beech tree and the community gardens beyond. This bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a stall shower and generous closet space. The second bedroom has a full bathroom across the hall. The apartment has a handy laundry closet with a washer and dryer and shelving space. A second walk-in closet doubles as a coat closet and a pantry. Unit #819 includes a very desirable large storage locker, H8-E, located only a few feet from the front door. Such storage units are highly sought-after, and while they can be sold privately between community owners, these units rarely change hands. The Strath Haven Condominium is recognized as a Gold Star Community by the Community Associations Institute. It is conveniently located near the town center of Swarthmore with easy access to Swarthmore College, the Scott Arboretum, shops, and the regional train station. The monthly condo fee is the most comprehensive in the area and includes electricity, gas, water, sewer, heating, and air conditioning. The grounds maintenance, building maintenance, outdoor pool, library, meeting room, hobby workshop, and a van for convenient shopping are included in the monthly fee as well. The only additional expense is cable/internet. This is a rare opportunity. The last two-bedroom corner unit that sold on the Harvard side of the building was back in 2018!
