About This Home

As of April 2021

NO APPOINTMENTS WILL BE SCHEDULED BEFORE FRIDAY, 2/19. APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FROM FRIDAY, 2/19 THROUGH SUNDAY 2/21/21, 8 AM-7 PM. Looking for a home that has great family space and a terrific work-from-home area as well? Look no farther than this 5 bedroom, 3-½ bath split level home in the top-rated Wallingford-Swarthmore School District and sought after South Summit neighborhood. This home is within walking distance to schools, public transportation, shopping and dining. The lower level of the home boasts a generously sized family room, and a conveniently located powder room. Sliding glass doors give you access to a back patio and expansive backyard. On the main level, you’ll find the kitchen with an island, a breakfast area surrounded by sunny windows and sliders to a large deck; an ample sized dining room and spacious living room with a remote-controlled gas fireplace. The second level contains a large master bedroom with dressing area, 9-foot closet and en-suite bath. Also on this level are two additional bedrooms, two linen closets, a laundry chute and a hall bath. Making your way to the third level, you’ll find a hall bath, and two more bedrooms, one with a built-in desk and bookcases overlooking the backyard and adjacent woods: the perfect spot for a quiet in-home office. Storage abounds in this house with stairs to a floored, unfinished, walk-up attic that could be converted to additional living space. There’s even a floored storage area in the eaves. The dry, unfinished basement is great for extra storage, a work-out area or a playroom for the kids. The spacious basement has a front-loading washer, dryer, chest freezer and additional refrigerator included in the sale. The laundry chute extends from the second level to the laundry area. There is a 2-car garage, and off-street parking for 3 cars, or for driveway basketball using the installed hoop and backboard. In the backyard, there is also a no-maintenance vinyl-sided shed big enough to store your lawn tractor, bikes and plenty of other garden equipment and a swing set for the kids and an adult swing. Other features of the home are vinyl windows, recessed lighting in the living room, 200 amp electric service, central air, forced hot air heat, new architectural shingled roof in 2012, and a large deck and patio that are great for entertaining. This house has top quality mechanical systems, including a Thermo-Pride heater, oil-fired hot water heater, and oversized air conditioner, all under service contracts. The landscaping was professionally designed by Main-Line landscaper, Waterloo Gardens. Location is a serious plus to this home. It sits on a quiet, family friendly street within walking distance to train, bus, and trolley stations, Wallingford Elementary School, Helen Kate Furness Library, downtown Media, and most importantly, Rita’s Water Ice. I-476 is just minutes away allowing an easy commute to Philadelphia, Wilmington, King of Prussia or PHL airport. NJ shore points or the Pocono Mountains are only 1-½ hour drive or if you prefer Amish country, you can reach Lancaster County in an hour. What the current family likes about this home: Since the house is a split-level, it’s been terrific for working from home during the pandemic. The third floor is perfect as an office space, allowing for private Zoom or Teams meetings, while the remainder of the family is in the lower floors. The home is situated near a creek, so often you'll find deer roaming through the backyard along with the occasional fox or groundhog. This has been a fabulous house for entertaining with easy indoor/outdoor spaces.
