Wallingford Sales: The Price of Charm
After spending a gazillion hours stripping and refinishing the painted woodwork in my Wallingford house, I’m envious of the person who scored this gem with original stained trim and leaded windows.
4536 Thackeray Place NE has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 1230 square feet.
Original Asking Price: $634,950
Sales Price: $625,000
Percentage: 98.4%

Another house I reviewed before The Ban went into force was this Craftsman on a teeny lot. It spent more than 185 days on the market before finally selling. I’ll give you the percentage based on the list price when I toured, although it had already gone through at least one reduction at that point.
2305 N 44th St. has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1220 square feet.
Asking Price When I Toured: $659,000
Sales Price: $605,000
Percentage: 91.8%
Using these sales figures, we now have an idea of what old-fashioned charm costs in Wallingford – approximately $500 per square foot.
