Nestled on a gorgeously landscaped half+ acre lot in the heart of Wallingford, this custom-built home with large windows allows natural light and views of the gardens to be visible with its open plan. With close proximity to I-476, it is a short drive to I-95 and the airport. Philadelphia is only 15 miles away and is readily accessed by driving or using SEPTA from Wallingford Train Station. The community has been named Best Places to Live by Money magazine due to its the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore schools and multiple amenities such as the library, parks, pools, tennis courts, gyms, and proximity to theater, restaurants, Swarthmore College and shopping. As you enter the drive toward the oversize attached garage, a stone wall embraces you. A brick walkway leads you past the mature plantings and gardens toward the covered brick front porch with double French doors. As you enter the house through the central foyer, your attention is immediately drawn to the gorgeous three story staircase and view toward the back of the house, featuring a pentagonal living room with gas fireplace and expanse of windows. Between the foyer and living room is a middle room, currently used as a piano room, which flows into the living room. To the left of the great room, is the dining room, featuring the second of three gas fireplaces and a French door leading to a stone patio. The gardens, designed by Andrew Bunting are visible from all these large windows. Adjacent to the dining room is a wet bar with built-in cabinetry. Beyond that is the breakfast room extension with another wall of windows and a French door leading outside to the large slate patio. The gourmet kitchen features Goebel custom cabinetry with granite countertops, an island with seating, a walk-in pantry, and high-end appliances. An abundance of storage adds to the exceptional kitchen design. To the right of the living room is the den/ library, which features the third gas fireplace. Easily made private with wood pocket doors for working from home, this space is detailed with more Goebel custom bookshelves. From the foyer are strategically placed multiple closets, a powder room, access to the 2.5 car garage, as well as basement. Hardwood floors run throughout this main floor of the home seamlessly connecting all the living spaces. Head downstairs to the large basement, of which half has been left unfinished for storage and flex space. There you will find an additional wall oven, available for large entertaining events. The other half of the basement is finished into a comfortable family room and exercise room. Travel the main staircase to the uppermost level where you will find a large walk-up attic that has been pre-plumbed and floored to accommodate a future bathroom and adjoining suite of rooms. The second part of the attic is ideal for additional storage and utilities. On the second floor, the hardwood floors continue and the landing invites people and pets alike to relax in the large window seat to enjoy the views and sunshine. The Owners Suite offers the same hardwood floors, with plantation shutters on the windows. On the right is an enormous walk-in closet with custom shelving & drawers. The Owners en-suite 5-piece bath includes plantation shutters, dual sinks, marble counters, new tilework, a whirlpool, and a glass door shower. Down the hall are two large bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, connected by a jack and jill bathroom. Further down the hall is an oversized linen closet and an enormous walk-in cedar closet. At the end of the hall is the 4th bedroom with skylight, which opens to the laundry room. This area could be easily modified to be another bedroom suite with private bath. Outside is an array of joyful living spaces from quiet corners to hardscaped patios, stone walkways, cutting gardens, specimen plantings, and open lawn, surrounded by an Invisible Fence. This property has something for everyone to enjoy!
