Beautiful home in Wallingford-Swarthmore School District! A flexible floor plan with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and it backs to Ridley Creek with plenty of elevation so no flood insurance required! This home was built in 1793 and the original part of the home maintains so much of that character and charm while still boasting some amazing updates and additions since then. The thick exterior walls that homes were built with in this era not only keeps out any noise but also allows for beautiful deep window sills. A gorgeous newer kitchen was added with a huge pantry and plenty of cabinet and counter space. A dining room addition, (AKA the party room) was added to the side of the home allowing for so much additional entertaining. There was also a huge two story addition put on the back which includes a large family room with two sets of sliders leading to the amazing backyard. The back features a spacious covered deck with ceiling fans and roll up shades overlooking the most spectacular yard and view. Head on down into the yard complete with a beautiful hardscape to navigate the gentle slope and enjoy nature and the creek. You will enjoy fishing, nature watching and wildlife to your hearts content. Sitting on almost an acre, there is ample yard space for gardening, playing, entertaining, you name it. There is also more than ample parking space to host parties, ride a bike or just simply turn your car around. The house sits high up from the creek with a gradual slope to the yard. Upstairs, in the addition above the family room, you'll find two spacious bedrooms and a modern bathroom. There is a nice transition to the older section, which houses a beautiful two room suite complete with a full bathroom featuring a claw foot tub. This section also offers access to the attic which is great for storage, could be finished, or could be used as living space in it's current state. This home also features central air, a fireplace with a wood burning stove insert, main floor laundry and a newer wrap around porch on the front. There are Anderson windows throughout (except the dining room addition) which adds to the efficiency and peacefulness you'll enjoy in this home. All of the work and additions show immaculate workmanship. All permits were properly obtained. You'll know the quality of the work the moment you see it. Don't short yourself by just driving by, this is a must see!!!
