Three-bedroom stone Colonial home in Wallingford listed for 5,000.

Presti’s Bakery, a cherished establishment in Cleveland’s Little Italy for approximately 120 years, is poised to expand its legacy as Mike Gentile prepares to take the reins of the family business. This transition has prompted Mike and his wife, Tori, to leave their beloved home in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, and embark on a new chapter that reflects both personal and professional growth.

The Gentiles purchased their three-bedroom residence, which includes 2.5 bathrooms and spans 1,622 square feet, in 2019. Their decision came just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which they had envisioned settling in for a long stay. The couple was drawn to the Media-Swarthmore area, with Tori noting its charm and proximity to local amenities such as the farmers market. The property’s 0.77-acre lot was an attractive feature for the Gentile family, offering ample space for future expansion.

The home’s interior includes a thoughtfully designed first floor, featuring a kitchen complete with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a subway tile backsplash. Additionally, a cozy living room equipped with a brick fireplace enhances the living experience. The layout includes a mudroom adjacent to the kitchen, which houses laundry facilities and provides direct access to the driveway. A bonus room with exposed brick and direct backyard access adds to the home’s appeal.

On the second floor, the residence comprises all three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary suite boasts dual closets and an en suite bathroom, while the hall bathroom features a barn-door vanity and a tiled tub/shower combination. Significant updates were made during the Gentiles’ tenure, including the installation of a French drain system in 2019 and a new HVAC system in 2020. The partially finished basement benefits from natural light, making it a versatile space.

During the pandemic, the Gentile family utilized the time to enhance their outdoor living space, installing a paver stone patio and creating a fenced-in garden area. The location of the home offers convenient access to multiple SEPTA Regional Rail stations, as well as major roadways such as I-95 and the Blue Route, placing Philadelphia and Wilmington within a short half-hour commute. Complementing these features, the property includes a one-car garage and driveway space for up to four vehicles and is situated within the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.

Currently, the Gentiles’ home is listed for sale at 5,000 through Marisa Bruder of BHHS Fox & Roach Wayne-Devon, marking an end to a significant chapter in their lives while paving the way for new beginnings.
