199 Elm Rd Wallingford, PA 19086

New listing in highly desired and top rated Wallingford-Swarthmore SD is ready for its new owner after being lovingly maintained for many years! This one is simply not like the others in the neighborhood! Unique find for the new owner of 199 Elm Road, as it is set on a spacious and private lot at the end of a lane.....enjoy the peaceful surroundings of low, to no traffic, privacy....and a home that is turn key as it is, but also has so much potential if you want to build up or out! The charming cottage feel of this home is so welcoming, boasting a tasteful hue of blue siding, a long driveway for 4+ cars, and a nice set back from the street. Enter through the side door off of the driveway into the renovated kitchen, or take the walkway to the formal front entrance into your living room with hardwood flooring and neutral toned walls. A French style front door lets in lots of natural light, as does the large picture window (all windows are vinyl double hung replacement windows) with nature views! The adjoining dining room has ample room for a large table, and a tasteful cherry peninsula with wine rack and seeded glass cabinets for storage. The kitchen has been opened up to the living space to allow for the open concept/spacious feel, and it features solid maple white Kraftsman cabinets with crown molding, a new Bosch dishwasher, recessed lighting, silo stone countertops with breakfast bar stools at peninsula, tile backsplash, and a convenient exit to the driveway and down to your large Southern pine deck and expansive rear yard. Three bedrooms (all with hardwood flooring) and a full tile main bath round out this level. Down the stairs, you will be impressed by the amount of space in the walk-out basement! Mostly finished, with flooring and painted joists, this area is a blank canvas for whatever suits your needs, and also has a spacious storage area and dedicated laundry room. Need a 4th bedroom? There is the space and the egress is there already! A home office, den, bonus room- purpose as you wish! The owner installed a French drain and dry creek bin, and hasn't had a drop of water since! Roughed in plumbing in the basement for easy install of a powder room or a 2nd full bath! A BRAND NEW PVC sewer pipe was just installed, and central air is being installed within the next few weeks- HUGE value adds, not to mention a new roof (2018), new gutters (2020), HW heater (2015), new sewer pipe from the house to the street. There's more! The cedar fence on the left side of the property is yours, as is the storage shed in the back. The Twp has confirmed that there is no building permitted to the right of the property, so enjoy the peace of mind that you will maintain the privacy that this home offers! In this location, minutes from major routes, the surrounding towns of Swarthmore, Media, new shops in Brookhaven.....but tucked away at the end of a no outlet street, this is your suburban oasis in a school district that consistently rates highly, with upgrades that will save you from having to make major improvements for years to come!
