Some properties just have a little bit of everything, and 1545 Rhey Avenue may very well be one of them! Set on a gorgeous 1.11-acre parcel, this expansive split-level home offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a beautifully designed legal in-law apartment that feels like a home of its own. The main residence features 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, hardwood flooring, and inviting living spaces. Added in 2009, the attached 1-bedroom in-law is far from an afterthought, featuring an impressive vaulted ceiling, updated kitchen, full bathroom, and its own full basement. An ideal setup for multigenerational living without sacrificing independence! And then there's the backyard... WOW. Beautifully established grounds, an expansive fenced-in yard, and a recently rebuilt rear deck with low-maintenance Trex decking create an outdoor setting that's increasingly difficult to find. Considerable investments include a newer roof (2022) covering both residences, vinyl siding, replacement windows in the main house, updated mechanicals, and a newer trek deck. An attached two-car garage and Wallingford's municipally owned electric utility add even more appeal. Two distinct living spaces, one beautiful property, and over an acre to call your own. This isn't simply about having more square footage; it's about having more possibilities for the way you live! The in-law portion of the home has central air
