PRIME WALLINGFORD LOCATION A rare opportunity to own a piece of Wallingford history, directly across the street from the iconic Choate Rosemary Hall. Thoughtfully maintained for more than 100 years, this distinguished Colonial is a landmark even among the impressive period homes that define one of Wallingford's most sought-after neighborhoods. Built in 1923 by the master craftsmen and designers of the prestigious C.F. Wooding Company, the home was commissioned for two members of the same family and thoughtfully designed as two nearly identical residences. Today, each unit blends the craftsmanship, generous proportions, and architectural character of the era with modern updates, including chef's kitchens, luxury bathrooms, separate laundry areas, and central air. The spacious eat-in kitchens feature high-end appliances and plenty of room for an island or breakfast bar, while the original butler's pantries have been thoughtfully repurposed as convenient laundry rooms. Large formal dining rooms and beautiful fireplaced living rooms are filled with natural light and enhanced by original built-ins. A signature feature of the home is the distinctive sunporch found in each residence, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating a bright and versatile year-round space ideal for a home office, gym, study, playroom, or additional living area. Each residence offers two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The second-floor residence also provides exclusive access to the walk-up third-floor attic, offering exciting potential for additional finished living space. Additional features include hardwood floors, central air, two working fireplaces, separate utilities, ample storage, a detached two-car garage, underground sprinkler system, and newer Andersen windows throughout. Rich in history, character, and craftsmanship, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of period architecture, modern amenities, flexible living space, and an outstanding location. Directly across from Choate Rosemary Hall and within walking distance of public and private schools, the library, YMCA, parks, tennis courts, restaurants, and more, with private golf clubs and major highways just minutes away. A truly distinctive Wallingford property with remarkable character, convenience, and versatility.
