This beautifully cared for and much-loved historic home has evolved over the years and must be seen to understand all of its qualities! Located on a CUL-DE-SAC, this is a truly exceptional and once in a lifetime home. Built circa 1728 by John Sharpless III and known as Winterloch, this is one of the original farmhouses for Wallingford . This spacious house has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths along with a 2 bedroom apartment that is rented, but could be an in-law suite, or easily opened back into the house to create a total of 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Warm and inviting, this stone home features FOUR FIELDSTONE FIREPLACES, deep window sills, wide plank wood floors, open rough-hewn beamed ceilings, front and back stairs, a large walk up attic (currently used as an office), and is perfectly situated on a HUGE LOT with additional property that was recently acquired from the neighboring Creekside Swim Club. This home has all the timeless and classic period details of the day and boasts substantial improvements made by current owners, including a new kitchen, a renovated master bedroom and bathroom, a vaulted light-filled addition on the back, updated mechanicals, refinished flooring throughout ~ plus much more! Enter from the gracious open front porch into a formal living room with a fireplace and built-in corner cabinets which flows into a warm and relaxing fireside family room adjoining the eat-in-kitchen with massive original decorative hearth. The main level is completed with a formal dining room, a mud room with laundry and an updated half bath. Head upstairs to the second level and you will find the master bedroom with renovated bath, 3 sizeable bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The third level contains a spacious office and a large attic for storage. Outside you'll find a charming covered back porch with entry into the mudroom, a 2-car detached garage with loads of storage, and a deck perfect for outdoor entertaining. Families with children will love walking to the nearby Nether Providence Elementary School and Creekside Swim Club. Don't miss all the original details of this home, the old world charm paired beautifully with the comforts of today, all conveniently located in the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore school district and close to major routes and transit. Truly a RARE FIND, coupled with an apartment that is currently rented month-to-month making this home even more affordable or providing the flexibility of having an in-law suite or even more space. A must-see!
