Property Description

Nearly half an acre in Rutledge Borough? That's where the story of 125 E. Sylvan Avenue begins. Set on approximately 0.42 acres, this four-bedroom home offers something you don't always expect in a neighborhood setting: a broad backyard, a private driveway, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The screened porch provides another place to slow down, catch a breeze, or simply appreciate the surroundings. Built circa 1886, the house has the kind of personality that comes from nearly 140 years of history. Wood floors, a traditional staircase, and an upstairs hallway with unforgettable wallpaper are reminders that this is no ordinary house. Living and dining spaces offer room to gather, with a convenient first-floor powder room just off the dining room. Upstairs, four bedrooms share a full bathroom. There's work to be done, certainly. But there's also something here worth working with: an established home with character, a substantial piece of property, and the opportunity to reimagine its spaces for the way we live today. Bring your ideas, your vision, and perhaps a little imagination. Located in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, the property also offers convenient access to Philadelphia International Airport and commuting options for both Center City Philadelphia and downtown Wilmington. Some homes offer a fresh start. Others offer the opportunity to build on a story that's already been unfolding for generations. **125 E. Sylvan Avenue is ready for its next chapter.**
