Welcome home to 15 Brookside Road, set on one of the most picturesque and well-situated streets in Wallingford. A beautiful Stone Colonial, the home is tucked away with nearly 3 acres of land on a quiet cul-de-sac, yet wonderfully close to schools, the SEPTA train station and Media Borough. This 5 bedroom 4.5 bath home has had numerous tasteful upgrades and improvements all while retaining the character and beauty of the home.
Enter into a gracious front hallway with random width hardwood floors and a curving staircase. The entry hall leads to the large open dining room with gas lanterns and a window seat. The newer kitchen is the heart of this open floor plan with soapstone counters, slate floors, upgraded stainless appliances and numerous custom details. There is a wood burning stove and a sitting area overlooking the pretty patio and lovely lawn. Adjacent to the kitchen is a mudroom with built-ins, a newer powder room and access to the 2-car attached garage. Completing the first floor is a large living room with stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves and French doors overlooking the grounds and patio below.
Downstairs is a large family room with a wall of doors that open to the patio, brick floors and a decorative fireplace. There is also a full bathroom, laundry and utility room with ample storage.
Upstairs on the second floor is a wonderful primary suite with a walk-in closet and recently updated private bath. The adjoining room serves well as an office or extra bedroom. Down the hall there are three additional bedrooms and two more hall baths. On the third floor is a huge bedroom/bonus room, a cedar closet and more storage. (The third floor bedroom is heated/cooled - prior text was incorrect.)
Outside there is so much to enjoy - multiple patios, one with a gas grill hook-up, a gardeners shed, a small stream, a lush lawn, and naturalized low-maintenance woodlands. This home includes a second lot, creating many possibilities for the new owner.
While the setting feels remote, Media Borough is nearby lively with holiday parades, Dining Under the Stars in the warm months, unique restaurants and stores, as well as essential necessities. Located in the Wallingford Swarthmore School District, the elementary school age residents can follow a footpath to Wallingford Elementary School through the neighborhood. The neighborhood is convenient to local swim clubs and two train stations, as well as I-95 and I-476, making Philadelphia, the airport and other regional destinations easily accessible. (Please excuse the improvement project currently being implemented by AQUA in the neighborhood.)
