Tucked beside a babbling brook and surrounded by mature landscaping, this well-loved 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home has the kind of setting that's hard to find. Choate Rosemary Hall's Kohler Environmental Center is just across East Main Street. It's an award-winning, solar-powered research center set on more than 260 acres of meadows, woodland and wetlands, so you get wooded views and quiet surroundings close to town. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout, and central air keeps you comfortable all year. A first-floor bedroom and full bath give you flexible one-level living. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a second full bath. The full, dry basement has plenty of storage. Out back, the covered deck is a peaceful spot for morning coffee, reading a book, or listening to the brook, rain or shine. An outdoor shed holds your garden tools and seasonal gear. This home has been meticulously maintained, and the big-ticket items are already done: brand new screen on slider, brand new flashing around chimney, new windows in the dining room and first-floor bedroom (2024), new dishwasher (2019), new hot water heater (2017), new roof (2015), and new furnace and oil tank (2010). Bring your own ideas and modern touches, and make it yours in one of Wallingford's most scenic spots.
