About This Home
As of June 2025Fully updated Victorian home, situated on a large, landscaped corner lot on one of Media's Borough's loveliest blocks. The home has been updated with all modern conveniences while retaining original features such as high ceilings; built-ins in the living room, kitchen, dining room, and primary bathroom; hardwood floors throughout most of the home; and elaborate trim work throughout. The first floor includes an entry hall, large living room with wood-burning fireplace, gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry, dining room with two built-in corner cabinets, an updated half bath, and a 3-season sun porch (rebuilt in 2022) overlooking the yard. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2010, to include a large 2-level island with ample counter space, custom wood cabinets, and high-end appliances - all of which have been replaced since the original remodel: 36' GE Monogram dual-fuel range (2019), Bosch 800 Series dishwasher (2024) and large LG French door refrigerator (2024). A concrete patio off the dining room provides a convenient place for grilling and outdoor meals. The second floor features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with dedicated full bathroom and multiple large closets. The primary bath underwent a full remodel in 2021, and features a large artisan-tile shower, vaulted ceiling, and heated floors. The remaining two bedrooms are spacious, with high ceilings and large windows, and the second floor also features an additional full bath, upstairs laundry, and large cedar closet for storage. The third floor offers two more large bedrooms and a small hall closet. A highlight of the home is the large, fully fenced yard that has been extensively landscaped by the current owners, including a shade garden with pond, professionally designed rain garden to manage storm run off, large raised bed vegetable garden, blueberry and raspberry bushes, and numerous perennials surrounding the home perimeter. There is a shed attached to the kitchen, and a second stand-alone shed behind the house to store all the gardening applies (both sheds offered in as-is condition). Additional improvements include: New roof and gutters in 2018 with transferrable 30-year warranty; radiator heat with high efficiency natural gas boiler, and high-efficiency ductless mini-split for air conditioning, as well as supplemental heat on very cold days; replacement windows throughout most of the house; fully updated electrical 200 amp electric, with two yard outlets that permit curbside EV charging (a 110V for trickle charging and 220V for Level 2 charging). Media Borough is a vibrant, walkable community known for festivals, dining, theater, and frequent community events, and the home is perfectly situated to take advantage of it all - one block from the Tot Lot and Community Center, two blocks to Media Elementary school and Barrall field, and 3 blocks from the Media Theater, trolley stops into Philadelphia, and the State St. restaurant district. A 15 minute walk takes you to the Broomall's lake swim club and the trails of Glen Providence park, while Ridley Creek State Park and the Philadelphia airport are both just a short drive away. There is no better place to enjoy being a part of the culture and community of Media.
