This 1930’s three story stone colonial has exquisite craftsmanship and classic charm with modern updates. The house is situated at the top of a hill on 0.6 acres of landscaped grounds, including two stone patios and a level yard with gardens and a storage shed that are all surrounded by lush foliage on three sides to provide privacy and a relaxing ambiance. The front and garage doors are beautifully hand-crafted of mahogany and redwood, respectively. Inside there is hardwood flooring throughout the first and second stories of the main house. At the front of the first floor are the formal and elegant living and dining rooms. The living room includes a marble, slate and brick fireplace, one wall of built-in bookshelves that surround the French doors leading to the family room in back. The family room was added in 1993, and is full of daylight from the many new premium windows and sliding glass door, which opens to the patios, which were custom built by Andersen. To the right of the family room is an informal eating area and the modernized kitchen that contains custom-built hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, Italian tile flooring, and stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen are the powder room at one end and a mudroom at the other that conveniently connects the rear kitchen entrance to the attached two-car garage. On the second floor there are 4 bedrooms (including the master bedroom with a marble, slate and brick fireplace) and 2 full bathrooms. One bedroom is walk-through and currently serves as an office and sitting room. The third floor is a finished attic that includes a dormer to create an intriguing fifth bedroom and flex activity space. The stone basement is half finished, with the unfinished side housing utilities (including a zoned high-efficiency natural gas central air system with humidity control, and a Vacuflo whole-house vacuum system), a large work bench and nine oversized built-in storage shelves. A stone & brick fireplace centers the finished side of the basement. Many recently installed, energy-efficient windows are located throughout the house. The roof has 50-year shingles from 2007, and includes new premium gutter guards with transferable never-clog warranty. The house is located in Nether Providence Township and the acclaimed Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, just a half mile from the eastern end of lively Media Borough. The Wallingford train station is located one mile south, and the Philadelphia International Airport is a short 15 minute drive. We invite you to experience the meticulous beauty of this classic home.
