Fall in love with 197 Woodward. Picture perfect in every way, the home blends seamless renovation and a fantastic open layout with classic details. Set on a lovely half-acre in one of Wallingford's most-desirable neighborhoods, this updated Colonial is perfectly tidy with many improvements on the exterior, including new siding, efficient windows and a new roof. Follow the driveway's approach to the turned two-car garage; from here, a charming slate path leads to the covered porch and the home's front door. The large foyer provides a gracious welcome for guests. The home's elegance is reflected in details such as the foyer's turned newel post and rich refinished hardwood floors - each hinting to the quality updated finishes throughout this comprehensively renovated home. A large formal living room is located to the left where beautiful windows fill the space with natural light. From here, continue to the dining room with classic details such as crown and chair-rail moldings. The eat-in kitchen showcases fabulous finishes and a thoughtful design. Incorporating beautiful cabinetry and granite counters, the space boasts a tiered island and built-in workspace. The kitchen is part of a fantastic open floor plan and adjoins the home's great room. Featuring sliders to the rear patio, interior access to the two-car garage, and a new large picture window overlooking the rear yard, the focal point is the room' beautifully-detailed wood-burning fireplace. Access the full finished basement from the great room to find ample space for a recreation room, home gym, theatre, or play room. A bonus room with an en-suite full bath adjoins the space - this would make a perfect au pair suite or home office. Upstairs, you'll find four large bedrooms and hall bath as well as a master suite with brand new en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The laundry is on this upper level as well. Outside, the home's grounds include lovely specimens and beautiful landscaped beds as well as attractive foundation plantings and a fully fenced back yard. This 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath jewel of a home is in the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District and conveniently located to Media, rail to Center City, and commuter routes.
