Hidden away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Rose Valley, this meticulously maintained, almost 3300 sqft classic center hall colonial offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half bathrooms, a 2-car garage, a sprawling backyard retreat, modernized HVAC, and placement in the award-winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. A long, tree-lined street leads to the home's picture-perfect curb appeal, showcased by a handsome stone facade, manicured lawn, winding driveway, and a canopy of mature trees that create a peaceful, secluded setting.

Across the hall, the dining room trimmed in chair rail is ready for hosting, while a comfortable den with a second fireplace and built-in bookcases offers another place to relax. The main level is completed by a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a pantry, a convenient powder room, and a bright sunroom where you can take in the scenic surroundings year-round. Heading upstairs, a striking arched window at the landing captures picturesque backyard views. On one wing of the second level, the huge, sunlit primary suite boasts hardwood floors, double closets, and a private bathroom. Down the hall are three more bright, spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath, along with generous closet space. Adding to the home's flexibility is a walk-up attic and a full basement with a powder room, providing excellent storage and potential for future finishing. In addition to everything inside, the expansive backyard is surrounded by mature trees for added privacy, featuring a patio for al fresco dining, garden space to perfect your green thumb, and plenty of open grass for outdoor play on long summer days.
