About This Home
As of January 2018A rare find in the Borough of Media! This gorgeous Queen Anne was built circa 1880 with all the finest millwork of the times and updated to tastefully combine today's amenities with the craftsmanship of yesteryear. The residence features 3 stories of beautiful living. Step in from the relaxing wrap-around porch to enter through the original oak Dutch door into the large, welcoming foyer. Notice the meticulously-maintained woodwork and the stained-glass windows ascending the staircase that allow the natural light to illuminate this area. The first floor features an elegant living and formal dining room, both with working wood fireplaces. You then walk through the spacious family room to reach the gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinetry and granite counters, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and a wood-burning fireplace that is one of the owner's favorite features. Finishing off the first floor is an elegant dining room with a deck that overlooks the serene back yard and koi pond awaiting your first Summer soiree. There is also a convenient back staircase that leads from the kitchen to the second floor where you will find the Master Bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms, a beautifully renovated bath and a second story balcony overlooking the back yard. Continuing up to the third floor you will then find 3 more large bedrooms and another full bath! Not to be overshadowed by this beautiful home, the professional office that is accessible through separate front and rear entrances has been totally renovated. This office space is approx. 1,700+ sq. ft. and is ideal for a legal, medical, therapeutic or architectural space. Zoned commercial and presently used as the residence and law office of a practicing Media attorney, it's just a few blocks from the County courthouse and has an abundant amount of off street parking. The property also includes a back lot (approx. 177' x 59') that was utilized for a sports court and green space but can be modified for other uses as well. This home has so many possibilities, it's amazing. Come see for yourself and fall in love with the best of yesterday and today! (Also listed in under Commercial - MLS #6968103)
