Welcome to 222 S. Pennell Road, Media, PA. - a beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 1.5-bath Post-Victorian-era home, brimming with character & modern updates.

From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the easy parking in the multi car driveway, and the beautiful view into the secret gem of the .5 acre yard - your own personal oasis.
