Welcome home to 307 Marlyn Lane - a very special 4 bedroom, 3 and one-half bath expanded cape located in the heart of Wallingford. This gorgeous 2,500 square foot home sits on a flat, approximately 1/2 acre lot and has been completely renovated within the last 10 years. Some of the many renovations include a chef's kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, windows, finished basement, paint, roof and systems - all completed with professional design planning and high-quality materials. Approach the home located on a quiet street (yet so close to Wallingford-Swarthmore schools) and take notice of the beautifully landscaped property filled with specimen trees, plants and shrubs. Upon entering, you are greeted with a gorgeous, sunlit, open floor plan complete with beautiful flooring and design elements such as the wide archways and custom cabinetry. The inviting living room with gas fireplace offers a cozy space and flows into the highlight of the main floor and gathering space of every home - the incredible kitchen. Designed by a chef, the massive kitchen has top of the line stainless appliances including a Wolf range with 6 burners/2ovens, and a wine refrigerator. Entertaining guests will feel special in this space that features custom wood cabinetry, quartzite counters, and a wonderful center island. The kitchen opens to a breathtaking dining room with a tray ceiling, large windows with views of the outdoors, and space for a table seating 12 or more guests. Step outside into the new gazebo right out the back door - another excellent space to entertain guests in the private backyard oasis. To the right of the dining room, is a spacious half bath, access to the garage, and a mudroom space with custom built-ins. Tucked away on the opposite side of the first floor, there are 2 large bedrooms, and an updated full bathroom complete with a tiled shower. Upstairs, discover the wonderfully designed primary bedroom; a majestic retreat with an extensive, circular walk-in closet, and an incredible ensuite bathroom. This luxurious, spa-like primary bath offers a separate tiled shower and deep jetted tub, a double sink vanity and elegant marble floor. A cozy deck that overlooks the backyard sits right off the bedroom offering providing a relaxing space to begin or end your day. An additional bedroom with charming built-ins and an updated full hall bathroom with a lovely tiled shower completes the second floor. The finished basement offers endless possibilities and can be used as a family room, exercise room, or office. A separate utility room houses a tankless water heater, newer washer/dryer, whole-house generator hook-up as well as a full house dehumidifier. This one-of-a-kind home located in the highly rated Wallingford-Swarthmore School District is so close to public transportation and the charming towns of Media and Swarthmore.
