Description
Welcome to 691 Willow Bend Drive—a modern Colonial on a cul-de-sac, private street in Swarthmore Green Estates, a quiet enclave of just 27 homes and one of Swarthmore’s best-kept secrets. This home backs up to Ridley Township Park, with the fenced-in backyard next to acres of green space with a walking trail, soccer/lacrosse fields, playgrounds and a pavilion. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a fully-finished basement offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades and functional design. Step inside to a grand two-story foyer with gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level, with recently renovated guest bathroom. The formal living room features elegant accent crown molding and flows into a sunlit dining room with a charming bay window—ideal for hosting holiday meals or casual gatherings. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and open sight lines into the cozy family room, complete with a gas fireplace and direct access to the expansive patio—perfect for entertaining. Upstairs, retreat to the oversized primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms and recently-renovated full hall bathroom provide plenty of space for family, guests, or work-from-home flexibility. The finished basement is a true bonus, featuring a 2nd kitchen area, and multiple distinct open-style spaces, perfect for a home office, guest bedroom, fitness area and woodworking/storage room. This home has seen thoughtful updates throughout, including removal of a half-wall in the family room (2025), recently-renovated bathrooms (2023), Kitchen appliances & fixtures (Refrigerator 2024, Dishwasher 2024, Washer 2025), central A/C unit (2019), and a backyard privacy fence (2022). With a two-car attached garage, abundant natural light, and a beautifully landscaped setting, this home is truly move-in ready and designed for everyday living with room to grow. Situated at the end of a peaceful street, you’ll enjoy tranquil mornings and instant access to wide open green space for play, walks, or peaceful outdoor time with no rear neighbors. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, eating fresh pears, nectarines, figs, peaches, and cherries from your own fruit trees in your backyard! Walkable to the Ridley Township Grace Park elementary school, this is the kind of home you’ve been waiting for!

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns.
