Beauty, warmth and exquisite craftsmanship are the hallmarks of this meticulously renovated split-level home in the award winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Nestled on 1.19 acres and tucked away in a cul-de-sac in the Hidden Valley neighborhood, this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is just minutes from downtown Media. Enter the home through the brand new front door with an electronic keypad into the expanded foyer. Hang up your jacket and slip off your shoes; you’re home. Take a few steps to the main level of the home to enjoy the completely open family room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2020, including the removal of two walls to expand the kitchen and open the entire space. Gleaming, refinished hard wood floors throughout the home and new hardwood flooring in the kitchen, sourced to match the original flooring. Quartz countertops, high-end Cafe GE appliances, and soft close cabinetry complete this inviting space. Bonus appliance feature - the microwave also operates as a second oven! There is no shortage of storage in this kitchen and additional storage space is located under the eat-in kitchen island. Grab a hot cup of tea, a throw blanket, and step over to the family room to cozy up by the wood burning stove. At the second level you’ll find four bedrooms, each with a large closet. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and an ensuite and completely remodeled bathroom. The full bathroom at the hallway was also remodeled to include a double vanity, linen closet, and sleek modern brass hardware. At the lower level you will find a remodeled half bathroom, the laundry room, access to the attached garage, and another large family room or den with new sliding glass doors to the fenced in back yard. Brand new AC compressor (2021) and whole home gas generator is hooked up and ready to go. A portion of the yard is completed fenced in, and then the property line extends past fence and in to the wooded area. The current owners enjoyed fresh eggs daily from their chickens and built a custom coup just past the fence - they are happy to include the chickens should the new owners be interested. Convenient shopping and dining within a 5 minute drive, including Downtown Media, Trader Joes, Acme, Starbucks, Wawa, and so many more. * Open Houses Saturday & Sunday, March 5th & 6th, 12pm-2PM * * Appeal process for taxes is in progress *
