Welcome to 218 Sykes Lane! Located in one of Wallingfords most desirable neighborhoods, on a quiet street in the award winning Wallingford Swarthmore School District, the location of this wonderful, 1950s colonial cape is hard to beat and is within easy walking distance of Wallingford Elementary, Strath Haven Middle and High Schools, and the Wallingford regional rail train station.

218 Sykes is one of a few homes on Sykes Lane built with a family room above a two-car attached garage. This four bedroom two full bathroom home features a large family room with original built-ins and excellent hardwood floors throughout. The design also provides a larger basement and an entrance to the basement from the garage. In the living room you will find a beautiful wood burning fireplace and a large set of windows with northern exposure. The dining room has two ample built-ins, a great view of mature plantings that ring the backyard. Enter through a set of French doors into the kitchen. The kitchen has natural light from a window and a door that goes to a slate patio and backyard. The first floor also includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The main bedroom includes a set of closets. Every closet in the house has a built-in light, a unique feature for these homes. The smaller bedroom on the first floor has built-in bookshelves and a door to a large screened porch. The first floor bathroom is tiled and it has a walk-in shower and a window with privacy glass. On the second floor you will find two bedrooms and a large full bathroom. The larger bedroom has plenty of space to give you lots of design options. This room also provides access to a very large walk-in attic space that is perfect for storage. The smaller bedroom has an alcove ready to be used as a student study area and two windows providing plenty of natural light. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and lights. The second floor bathroom is a large tiled bathroom with a tub shower. The bathroom window looks to the back yard providing light and privacy. Enter the partially finished basement and you will notice a staircase that speaks to the quality of finishes through the home. The basement is paneled with real knotty pine that gives a warm glow. There is a separate section where the utilities and the washer and dryer are housed. There is also a double utility sink with an automatic sink pump. The basement is large and has direct access to the garage. The property features an attractive, tiered backyard with a flagstone patio that overlooks a private, wooded area surrounding the house. There is a screened porch with several electrical outlets and overhead lighting. The back yard is sunny - perfect for gardening and outdoor gatherings. Other highlights: natural gas Generac 20Kw standby whole-house generator, new roof installed in 2014, new HVAC system installed in 2014, chimney relined and new damper installed in 2019, and recently replaced double-pane windows throughout the house.
