Charming Swarthmore Summer Sublet w/ Cat sitting opportunity

Your cozy getaway awaits in Swarthmore at this beautiful 4 bedroom home. This charming property is perfect for families, graduate students needing easy access to Swarthmore Campus or University of Pennsylvania or traveling medical professionals.

We are renting out our 4 bedroom family home between June 6th and July 10th. If you enjoy animals and don't mind keeping our two very human attached cats happy, healthy, and cared for while occasionally watering our vegetable garden (which, of course, you can use), we can certainly figure out a deal that suits both our needs.

This is an unusual exchange, but I know many graduate students look for temporary housing in Swarthmore while researching dissertations or attending a summer course, and sometimes new incoming faculty need temporary housing while on sabbatical or while looking for homes in the competative market, so I figured it was worth a shot.

We have three bedrooms, a guest room/office, and two full bathrooms. We have Fios internet, and the house will stay fully furnished, of course, with a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, driveway parking, electric car hook up, backyard BBQ, firepit, pool table/ping pong in the basement, basketball hoop in the front, etc. We are two blocks from the town center, so it's an easy walk to campus, the train station (23 minutes to Penn's campus downtown), grocery co-op, PAC (community center), and library.  

Please email me for details so we can discuss a fair price.
