For Sale: Queen Bed Frame

Queen bed frame from Wayfair. It’s metal and the color is “antique white.” It’s made to look old. We also have the split queen box spring to go with it. It was in a guest room and still looks great. $100 or best offer. It is disassembled, but we don’t have a vehicle big enough to transport it, so you would need to be able to transport it yourself. We live about a mile from campus. If interested, please send me an email. Here is the link on Wayfair https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/three-posts-ackerman-low-profile-standard-bed-w003432246.html?piid=1177316942%2C1177316941

Bright, Spacious 2BR Bi-Level Apartment | Available 8/1/2026

Bright, Spacious 2BR Bi-Level Apartment | Available 8/1/2026
Available August 1, 2026
Furnished | 2 Bedrooms | Bi-Level | Private Patio | Dedicated Parking
This elegant, furnished bi-level two-bedroom apartment is located in the heart of downtown Swarthmore, just steps from campus and town amenities.
? Proven student rental history:
The apartment has a long history of being rented by Swarthmore College students and is especially well suited to student living, based on its location, layout, and setting.

Location
• Located on Park Avenue in the center of town
• Approximately ½ block from the SEPTA Regional Rail station
• Easy walk to campus, library, cafés, shops, and farmers’ market
• Central yet comfortable, with excellent light and privacy

Apartment Highlights
• Large, open-concept living and dining area with beautiful hardwood floors
• Bright, sun-filled space suitable for studying, hosting friends, or relaxing
• Recently renovated and exceptionally well maintained
• Distinct bi-level layout with living space on the main level and bedrooms upstairs
• Quality lighting fixtures throughout
• Approx. 1,200 sq ft — feels more like a townhouse than an apartment
________________________________________
Two Private Entrances & Outdoor Space
• Front entrance at street level on Park Avenue
• Rear entrance via stairs to a private outdoor patio
The patio is a great spot to enjoy summer evenings — including July 4th fireworks.
During the years the apartment was owner-occupied and rented to students, the unit, patio, and downtown Swarthmore have been very comfortable in the summer, with no noticeable mosquito issues.

Additional Perks
• One dedicated off-street parking space
• Furnished (most major pieces provided)
• Quiet, well-maintained building
• The property was owner-occupied for many years before being fully rented and reflects the level of care typical of an owner-occupied home

Well Suited For
• Students or others seeking walk-to-campus convenience
• Renters who value space, light, and a central location
• Those looking for a comfortable home base during the academic year

Equal Housing Opportunity.
We comply with all applicable fair housing laws and consider all qualified applicants.
