This property is a true Diamond in the Rough! Well loved and good bones, this home just needs some updating to bring it back to life and to its true potential for the neighborhood where homes have recently sold for up to $900,000+! A unique layout could be ideal for your lifestyle (always think about your needs and how you would use the rooms, not for how they were traditionally laid out) or maybe redesign to create something new. The good thing is that the neighborhood values support whatever type of investment is made into the property for improvements! The original footprint of the home includes a welcoming foyer with a short hallway to the left that accesses the three original bedrooms plus one full and one half bath that actually connect through a doorway (worked really well for a family of four children!), a large open living and dining room area beyond the foyer with several windows for lots of natural sunlight and a brick accent wall surrounding a fireplace that currently houses a wood insert, and an eat in kitchen with handicap modified butterscotch color maple cabinetry and granite countertops. There is access to the laundry and utility room off of the kitchen and an entrance to the one car garage. The kitchen also has doors to the side of the house or the front porch to the front door. The handicap accessible addition is toward the back of the home with a spacious primary unit and full bath with roll in shower (or just a desirably large shower!), and a large den at the end of the hallway with full sets of windows on opposite sides and built in cabinetry across the back wall. The knotty pine paneling gives it a cozy feel but would also look great just painted rather than replaced. Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, decent closet space in bedrooms and halls, a full house crawl space more for access to plumbing and insulation rather than storage, a whole house generator, and hardwood floors are some bonus features. Now for the yard! This home sits on over a half acre of level ground and mostly private for all of your entertaining and playing and activities. It would be ideal for an outdoor kitchen, deck or paved patio, firepit, a pool, pets, dining, playing, etc etc etc! This is an estate so there is no definite information to be provided but the roof appears newer and all systems were working when last resided in a few months ago. Award winning Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, a mile walk or drive to the train station, and just a hop, skip, and jump to the middle and high schools! At this new price, don't pass up the opportunity to make this diamond in the rough sparkle again and take advantage of the value of the wonderful neighborhood in which it's located! PLEASE NOTE!
