224 Canterbury Drive

Nestled on the most beautiful and lush lot in the Sproul Estates neighborhood of Wallingford is the most loved and cared for home around! This exceptional home has been loved for decades, but especially by its current owner. As you pull up, you’ll immediately notice the beautiful curb appeal of the home itself, and also the thoughtful landscape, perfect in scale that frames the home. Pull into the large private driveway and walk up the newly appointed front walkway and take in the beauty that surrounds you. Enter the home into the large living room with gleaming oak hardwood floors and a picture window. The circular flow of the first floor leads you to a beautiful dining room with a slider door, leading to blue stone steps and a wonderful brick patio, perfectly located for daily enjoyment or entertaining your guests. The landscape offers privacy in the Spring and Summer months. Also on the first floor is a beautiful eat-in kitchen with ample oak cabinetry, recessed lighting, Corian countertops, bisque appliances including a gas range and a built-in microwave, chair rail with paneling and room for a breakfast table. It has everything you need. Upstairs on the second floor you will find the gorgeous oak hardwood floors, giving the main living areas of the home a wonderfully cohesive and clean feeling. There are 3 bedrooms, all nice in size and a pristine hall bath with shower/tub. Take advantage of the large linen closet in the bathroom and don’t forget about the huge walk-up attic! For now, the attic offers tons of clean and dry storage space but if desired, it could be finished via a dormer. The lower level offers a great living space with exterior access, for whatever your needs may be. This room is perfect for an office, playroom, home gym or a den to relax and take in the views of your beautiful property. The lower level also has a half bath, laundry room, deep closet, mudroom space and interior access to the 1 car attached garage! The basement is large, has been professionally waterproofed and is also a very clean space for storage. There is so much beauty in the home, not to mention the location. Take advantage of close proximity to public transportation, the public pool and tennis courts, the Springhaven Club, the Swarthmore library, Park Avenue Community Center and the incredible Wallingford-Swarthmore schools. The current owner hasn’t skimped on details that make this home efficient and a very smart purchase. The 4-year old roof, the easy-clean Energy Star windows from Paradigm of Maine, the EZ Breathe no-maintenance ventilation/humidity control and the water softener system are a few reasons this home is secure and ready to go! Unpack and start living!
