About This Home

As of November 2023

This 4 bed, 2 1/2 bath home in award-winning Wallingford Swarthmore school district has been meticulously maintained and loved for 50 years by its owners. With beautiful manicured garden beds guiding you to the front door, you’ll see the pride of ownership the moment you arrive. Enter the home through a foyer with coat closet, half bath and access to the attached 2 car garage. Climb the stairs to the large main living room which features gleaming hardwood flooring and a gas fireplace. Just off the living room is the spacious dining room and kitchen both overlooking the GORGEOUS backyard. The eat-in kitchen has cherry cabinetry, corian counters and pantry. Stairs from the kitchen bring you down to the lower level family room; a cozy space to curl up with your coffee by the wood-burning fireplace and watch the snow fall this winter. This level of the home also features a laundry room and HUGE front bonus room that would make a great playroom, office or in-laws quarters. Head back to the 2nd story of the home to find the owners suite with private bath and 2 closets (one is a walk-in), 2 other large bedrooms, a spacious hall bath and an upper level 4th bedroom that is large enough for multiple uses (guest room & office combo!). Back outside is the real star of the show: the stunning backyard with patio overlooking the creek. Watch the changing of seasons and wildlife as you gather with family & friends or enjoy quiet moments listening to nature. The back of this home also has a large driveway making turn around easy and offering a great play space for little ones. This home is conveniently located with easy access to I-95, I-476, SEPTA regional rail stations, shops & dining of Swarthmore Boro & Media Boro.
