The current owners have made this one-of-a-kind custom built home in Wallingford extraordinary with their attention to detail and remodeling. Situated on over a half acre of beautifully landscaped grounds the property offers a fenced yard and plenty of off-street parking. As you enter the front door brick floors welcome you to a Foyer that opens to a vaulted two-story Living Room, which is accented with reclaimed barn wood and a stunning floor to ceiling brick fireplace. A wall of windows allows natural light to warm this bright open area. The adjacent Dining Room has a beamed ceiling and a white-washed barn wood accent wall. Random width hardwood floors extend throughout these two open rooms. A large Mudroom off the Dining Room will allow you to keep life organized. The fabulous Kitchen renovation completed in 2021 connects the Kitchen to the Dining Room and is enhanced by quartz countertops with plenty of seating and high end Miele and Bosch appliances. The first floor also offers a spacious Den that has floor to ceiling built-in cabinets and shelves and a door to the rear covered Porch and new Patio. A first floor Bedroom or Office area and a new and expanded Full Bath (2022) complete the first floor. The second floor opens to a Loft area. The large Primary Bedroom has plantation shutters, and a luxurious Primary Bathroom with radiant heated floors and quartz countertop vanity. Three other Bedrooms and a Jack and Jill Bathroom finish off the second floor. All of these Bedrooms have custom closet storage systems. The Lower Level was remodeled in 2022 and has five separate rooms providing you maximum enjoyment and flexibility. Currently there is a Family Room, Office, Gym with a sauna, Laundry Room and a Storage Room. The outdoor setting is as pleasing as the interior, with a professionally landscaped yard providing plenty of room for all your special gatherings on the Porch or Patio and the hardscape fire pit will welcome you and your guests to warm up in any season. The detached 2 car Garage is a great addition for storage space, cars or games. Ideally located close to the schools in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, train to Center City, library and just minutes away from the bustling town of Media–the convenience of this home cannot be beat.

Come and see this unique one-of-a-kind custom built home in Wallingford. The house is set back nicely from the street and offers plenty of off-street parking. Entering through the front door leads to a brick foyer and then opens into a vaulted two-story living room, which is accented with reclaimed barn wood and a floor to ceiling brick fireplace.
