John Wallingford’s former house listed for $750K

Yes, that Wallingford

Wallingford is home to many adorable, century-old craftsmans. So it’s no wonder that this three-bedroom property once owned by the neighborhood namesake, developer John Wallingford, also fits the bill.

The home was originally built in 1907, and it shows in historic detailing. A dormer and diamond-shaped window details hold out from the Victorian era. A covered porch centers one of the roof’s peaks, bounded by square columns.

Those details continue inside on the main level. A cased opening separates the living room from the formal dining area. Period millwork tops the windows and passageways. A corner window bench creates a cozy reading space in the living room. Hardwood floors cover most rooms.

A large kitchen has plenty of cabinets and counter space.

The home features two bedrooms on the main floor with that same classic craftsman interior look.

Far more modern-looking is the basement, which has been finished into the bottom half of the duplex, with a separate entrance, one bedroom, and its own kitchen with room for a dining nook. The current owners have been renting it out on Airbnb.

Out back, find a picket-fence-lined porch and a coordinated blue garage.

Two homes in one historic wrapper are listed for $750,000—about the going rate for homes in the neighborhood the previous owner built.
