601 Allen Lane

A rare find, this beautifully maintained stone colonial is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac street, yet just steps from Media’s vibrant downtown. It offers a striking stone façade and inviting front porch, greeting visitors with timeless curb appeal and setting the tone for all the charm and character that abounds inside. From the moment you enter through the handsomely crafted front door, you’ll appreciate all the architectural details that make this home the perfect blend of character and comfort. Its spacious living room showcases deep windowsills, lit built-ins, a fireplace, and warm hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout most of the house. The dining room, with wide moldings, chair rail, and recessed lighting, opens to a sunny kitchen, updated with granite countertops and a breakfast bar, roomy, two-toned cabinetry, travertine backsplash, a ceramic tile floor, and stainless appliances, including a five-burner gas stove. A chic half bath sits nearby. There is also a super-clean full basement, partially finished, offering ample space for laundry (with a new washer and dryer), additional living, and storage. A lovely wooden staircase with custom carpeted treads leads the way to the second floor, featuring three bright bedrooms—one with a custom-built Murphy bed and desk!—and an updated full bath. Outside the kitchen is a paver and flagstone patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining or relaxing with your morning coffee. This outdoor space is very private, with views of a lush and fully fenced backyard, teaming with perennials and pretty trees. There is also a wide drive with a large one-car garage and newer shed for additional storage. Kept in tip-top shape by its current owners, this home has a newer roof (2023) and window shades throughout, recently painted exterior trim, thermostatic attic exhaust fan, porch ceiling fan, and so much more. Best of all, it’s a 10-minute walk to both Wallingford train station and all of the shopping, restaurants and fun that downtown Media Boro has to offer.
