About This Home
Welcome to 20 Fairview Road — a beautifully renovated and move-in ready 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom home in one of Swarthmore's most convenient locations. Step through the front door and into a bright, open-concept main level complete with rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and plantation shutters that give the space a polished, finished feel throughout.
