801 Yale Avenue # 1227

Originally built in 1893-94, the Strath Haven Inn became a popular resort for Philadelphians seeking a respite from the city. For nearly 70 years it was the center for Swarthmore social events and celebrations. The Inn closed in the 1960s and after a fire, was razed and replaced in 1971 by the current building, then operating as the Wildman Arms Apartments. In 1981 it was converted to condominium ownership and renamed the Strath Haven Condominium Association, though it still allows for some units to be rented out on a short-term basis. Unit 1227 is a two bedroom unit perched high above the treetops. The location of this unit is key, as you receive beautiful morning sunlight, without the harsh afternoon glare. Its kitchen and bathrooms have been updated; but could use some updating now. The Living room, two bedrooms and hall are all carpeted. A storage unit on the first floor is also included in the sale. Storage rooms are separately deeded and as such, can be individually sold, making the value of this property even better! Monthly condominium fees cover all major utilities. And amenities abound: a large swimming pool and cabana, a hobby workroom, a bike room, a well-stocked free lending library, and a meeting room. The shops and restaurants of the Ville of Swarthmore and the campus of Swarthmore College are close by. Complimentary van service offers daily shopping trips to Swarthmore, Springfield and Media, and less frequent trips to Booths Corner market and other specialty locations. Dont miss your opportunity to purchase this special unit. Storage unit #29 on first floor included in sale. Unit is being sold AS IS.
