Gracious Colonial in Wallingford-Swarthmore School District is situated just outside of popular Media Borough. Nestled in a gorgeous private setting, footpaths and quiet roads connect the property to local parks, public transit and Downtown Media. The stone entrance of the driveway sets the tone for the beauty of 217 Beatty. Once inside the drive has ample turn-around space and parking in front of and inside the detached two car garage. Stone walkways lead to both the formal entrance in front, or the daily entrance at the side. Here you enter into a charming mudroom, with a built-in, heated bench for easy shoe removal and large storage closets. This space leads to the large, light-filled family room with space for gatherings and down-time. A highlight of the family room is the small "greenhouse", a retired entrance vestibule that is now an enchanting space for plants. The back stairs to the finished basement are accessed from the family room as well. Next to the family room is the breakfast room and eat-in-kitchen. Warm wood cabinets, stainless appliances, marble backsplash, thoughtful layout and ample counter-space make this a real working kitchen - not just for show! The back stairway leading upstairs connects to the kitchen as well. On the other side, the spectacular dining room awaits with large French doors that open to the patio out back. From the dining room, head out to the center hall and the front door. Off the entrance hall is another coat closet, a pretty, well-located powder room, and a home office with built-ins another access to the finished basement, and a large window overlooking the yard. Completing the first floor is the stunning living room with gas fireplace which connects to the screened porch for real indoor/outdoor living. Heading upstairs from the front hall there is a gracious landing area which serves as the hub of the second floor. The master suite has hardwood floors, a renovated private bath, and a large walkthrough closet with built-ins. The full hall bath serves two more bedrooms on this floor. The 4th bedroom is a "princess suite" with private vintage bathroom and a walk in closet. Stairs from the main hall lead to the attic on the third floor which is amazing storage, but also could be easily finished to be additional living space - yoga/mediation studio, 5th bedroom, the possibilities are endless. The basement has been finished into three distinct areas - a second family room with non-working fireplace (ready for gas hook up), a play room/workout room and a laundry room. Outside, the amenities continue with the beautiful stone patio adjacent to the screened porch, a large level lawn, well-tended planting beds and a surprise shed in back which has been renovated for work or for play. A rare combination of style, convenience, privacy and beauty make this property a unique opportunity for the next owner.
