We are the owners of this wonderful home in Wallingford where we raised our daughter. We still live in the area, but rent out both parts of the duplex; this is the upper unit. There is great soundproofing between this and the main floor unit. We are looking for tenants who will treat it like their home. You will work directly with us no property management company to deal with! It is a bright 1 BR duplex apartment in a great, older Wallingford home, with a fabulous, large, open modern kitchen with a fold-out pantry, dishwasher, large bathroom, your own W/D in the basement (no quarters!), with lots of extra storage space. Open, 2-story floor plan. Large deck with lots of room and sun for container gardening. The house is on a corner lot with a very small front and side yard (no backyard), with a huge fig tree with more figs than you can eat!
