Welcome to Wallingford, known for its bustling center and quiet side streets, plus a plentitude of historic early 20th century homes. This is your opportunity to invest in a home and a neighborhood where deep, solidly built front porches invite spontaneous chats among neighbors on a summer evening, where tree-lined sidewalks provide endless opportunities to explore, shop, eat, and play. This home, just like Wallingford, has been lovingly preserved, yet strategically modernized to accommodate today's lifestyle. You'll adore the sleekly updated eat-in kitchen with gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. With two sightlines and access points from the kitchen to the back deck and yard, which is anchored by a sprawling tree just begging for a tire swing, indoor/outdoor living comes naturally. The dining room and living room are gently made distinct by an arched transition, the shape of which is mimicked above the bay window. The wood fireplace, surrounded by built-in shelves, creates a natural focal point in the light-filled living room. The luxe main floor primary suite boasts a bookcase wall and a massive passthrough closet with more built-ins. Upstairs you have a sunny, spacious bedroom, a second bathroom with skylight, and a big bonus space. Downstairs is overflowing with potential; stylish bedroom with more built-ins + the high ceilings = high ceiling on investment! 2021 roof, 2022 gutters, 2026 electrical wiring, panel & service, all double paned windows, new paint and carpet.
