Property Overview

Welcome Home

Tucked against 11 acres of protected Wallingford Land Trust open space, this beautifully maintained Colonial offers a rare opportunity: a spacious, move-in-ready main residence paired with a legally permitted two-bedroom accessory apartment. Whether you're planning for extended family, a live-in parent, a grown child, a home office arrangement, or simply want the flexibility that a legal accessory apartment provides, 18 Quigley Road delivers rare versatility without compromising on comfort or privacy.

Set on a level, highly usable 1.27-acre lot, the property backs to mature pines and open land-trust acreage, creating a private, park-like backyard ideal for entertaining, gardening, and outdoor enjoyment. Commuters and golfers alike will appreciate that major interstates and Tradition Golf Course are less than a mile away.

A rare Wallingford find: a legally permitted two-bedroom accessory apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, bath, and systems — genuine independent living, not just a finished basement.

Main Residence

Approximately 2,244 Square Feet

A traditional Colonial floor plan welcomes you with formal living and dining rooms, a first-floor bedroom or office with closet, three full bathrooms, and warm hardwood flooring throughout most of the main living areas. The living room's wood-burning fireplace anchors a bright, welcoming layout, while a partially finished lower-level family room adds bonus space for movie nights, a home gym, or a playroom.

Nearly every interior surface has been freshly painted in neutral tones within the last two years, so buyers can move in and simply unpack.
