Set on a beautifully maintained lot in one of Wallingford's established neighborhoods, this thoughtfully updated brick ranch balances timeless construction with modern comfort. The heart of the home is an expanded living room where natural light, refined finishes, and a built-in Denon surround sound system create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen was completely redesigned in 2018 with a sophisticated aesthetic reflecting the owners' exceptional eye for design, while both full bathrooms were renovated in 2017. Major improvements include a newer roof (2015), boiler (2017), central air system (2019), and Andersen windows and doors throughout the rear addition. A reverse osmosis water filtration system adds another thoughtful upgrade. Step outside and the property truly sets itself apart. Designed as an extension of the living space, the backyard features a gunite pool, expansive patio, wood-fired pizza oven, and firepit area that effortlessly accommodate gatherings large and small. Rarely does a ranch home offer this combination of quality updates and exceptional outdoor living.
