And now at an even better price! Gorgeous wide plank floors, five fireplaces, extra deep windowsills and a garage that was once a stable are some of the delightful features you’ll discover inside this special home, known as “Hinkson’s Corner.”  More than 200 years ago, James Hinkson, a wheelwright, erected two buildings side-by-side, one for himself and the second for a blacksmith. In later years, Hinkson’s Corner served as a general store, and at one point, a summer resort.  Hinkson’s Corner has been tastefully updated by the current owners while preserving much of the charm of yesteryear, including a NEW roof, NEW windows, and convenient first floor Laundry. The main floor of the house features a Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen with Butler’s Pantry and Laundry, an adorable Powder Room and brick-floored Mud Room just off the Kitchen.  On the second floor, you will find four Bedrooms, including one currently used as a Library, and a second, currently used as an enormous Family Room. There is a very spacious full Bath on this floor too (complete with a fireplace!). But there’s more! An amazing third floor awaits you. There are two entrances to two separate third floors, which harkens back to the two original buildings built side-by-side. One third floor features two Bedrooms and a full Bath.  The second third floor offers a Bedroom, Den space and a full Bath. This home is as enchanting on the outside as the inside with meandering brick paths, a “secret” gathering spot, and a simply gorgeous brick courtyard with a koi pond and black wrought iron gate. There is also a greenhouse. The yard is spacious and incredibly private – a feast for the eyes.  There is driveway parking for 6 cars plus the garage. The house has been freshly painted inside and out and the sellers recently purchased a NEW furnace. 1 E. Brookhaven Road is located in award-winning Wallingford Swarthmore School District and is a short train ride to downtown Philadelphia and less than 20 minutes to the airport.  Don’t miss this special home!
