Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort! Rare Assumable 2.375% Mortgage. Set on over half an acre in a private cul-de-sac shared by just five homes, this circa-1840 property (with portions dating to the 1700s) blends historic character with modern function, just steps from Media, Swarthmore, and Wallingford, in the sought-after Wallingford-Swarthmore School District (Wallingford Elementary). Walkable to the train and bus, with easy access to I-476, I-95. Why pay today's rates when you don't have to? Qualified buyers may be able to assume the seller's 2.375% FHA loan and pair it with a second loan- for substantial monthly savings versus financing at today's rates. Inside, original hardwood floors (refinished throughout) and abundant natural light run through a formal living room, a family room with fireplace, and a formal dining room. The updated kitchen mixes butcher block and solid-surface counters, stainless appliances, a farmhouse sink, and upgraded cabinetry, plus a first-floor laundry/mudroom with extra pantry storage.
Upstairs, five bedrooms (all hardwood) include a primary with a walk-in closet and vanity area. An adjacent bedroom already has a walk-through connection, making it easy to convert the current 5 bed/1.5 bath layout into a 4 bed/2.5 bath with a true primary suite. Major systems are done: three-zone HVAC (two units, two furnaces), a newer roof with a 50-year warranty, updated plumbing, a new half bath, and real wood Levolor blinds throughout. Outside, enjoy a side porch swing, paver patio, wrap-around porch, and a fully fenced yard with new sod and fresh landscaping. The long driveway (recently relocated and sealcoated) fits 4+ vehicles. A standout 1,000 sq ft detached barn with a sub-panel, updated wiring, and EV hookup offers a workshop, gym, studio, or storage, endless flexibility. An unfinished third floor (heated) and unfinished basement offer future potential to expand even further.
