This special, custom-built stone Cape Cod in Wallingford is surrounded by a lovely, landscaped exterior. From its three-season sunroom and beautiful, secluded patio and backyard, to its highly rated school district, this home has so much in its favor. With its flexible floor plan, the home has two first floor bedrooms (one used as a study) and a full bath. The finished lower level and attached two car garage increase its spacious feel. Its location is close to wonderful public land, parks, and theater, including Tyler Arboretum and the Saul Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Hedgerow Theatre. Walk to the front door via a winding brick walk, past pretty plantings. The living room is welcoming and warm, with hardwood floors and a marble gas fireplace. A large bay window lets in plenty of sunlight and has lovely views of the front yard. The three-season sunroom located off the living room is aptly named—its generous windows bring plenty of sunshine. The kitchen is wonderful for the home chef, with custom cabinetry, granite and quartz countertops, and an oversized, center island. The Bosch stainless steel appliances make preparing meals a snap. There are two bedrooms on the first level, as well as a full hall bath with Kohler fixtures. The second level, with charming spaces, has three bedrooms, as well as a full bath. The lower level is finished, and features a large recreation room, the laundry area, another full bath, and storage area. The attached, two-car garage also allows for plenty of storage. The exterior is perfect for all-season entertaining, with its patio and fire pit area. The professional landscaping is particularly appealing, and the attractive storage shed with skylights blends into the property well. Enjoy playing basketball in the driveway, with its own backboard and net. This neighborhood is accessible to so much. It is an easy stroll to the library, train, convenience stores, and schools. With nearby access to 476, you have everything you need, yet are in a peaceful, tranquil location. Enjoy the wonderful walking trails of Rose Valley and close-by Linvilla Orchards.
