Located at the crest of one of the most coveted, private cul-de-sac streets in desirable Wallingford, this charming stone and siding Colonial built in 1935 and expanded in 1982 has been loved by its longtime owners of nearly 60 years. Its setting is peerless and unparalleled on a secluded one-acre lot with a huge, level back yard that will be like having your own park. The beautifully landscaped front yard and new flagstone walkway invite you to approach the home and experience all it has to offer. Upon entering the foyer, you’ll immediately notice the newly oil-finished hardwood floors throughout and white painted woodwork. The living room has three large windows with deep sills, built-ins and a fireplace. Off the living room is a newly-carpeted, cozy sunroom with access to a flagstone patio and the backyard. The sunroom makes a great home office, playroom or reading room, your choice! The heart of the home is the expanded and light-filled “country kitchen” and gathering room, featuring custom cabinetry and finishes, built-in appliances, hardwood floors, a large dining area and a bay window. A formal dining room with built-in corner cabinets provides the perfect setting for those special holiday meals. Off the kitchen is a large family room with a wet bar and closet storage. A mudroom and a freshly painted half-bath complete the first floor. Upstairs you will discover the large primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, tons of closet space (including a shoe closet!) , a fireplace and a private sitting room with large windows overlooking the backyard where you can enjoy your coffee and watch the sunrise! The second bedroom has an adjoining sitting or play area that can serve as an additional bedroom if needed. The third and fourth bedrooms are also on the second floor, along with two freshly painted full bathrooms, stairway access to the floored attic and another bonus space that can serve as an office hideaway. Next, check out the charming back stairway that leads down to the kitchen! The partially finished basement has a fireplace and newer paneling and carpeting, making it a delightful winter retreat. Behind the house the expansive driveway leads to another surprise: a heated FIVE-car garage with a workshop that is perfect for the automobile enthusiast or someone seeking a man-cave or she-shed! Through the years, the owners carefully updated and maintained their home, most recently with a newer roof and vinyl siding, new basement windows, a whole house generator and a high efficiency gas heat and central air conditioning system. Although the location is secluded, it’s walkable to schools, the library and the Wallingford Train Station on the SEPTA Media-Wawa line, and is just minutes to Media, Swarthmore and major highways. A gracious, one-of-a-kind home of storied, happy memories, it is now ready for you to make your very own memories for years to come!
