About This Home

As of May 2022

SHOWINGS BEGIN SATURDAY, APRIL 9TH!!! Location!!! Location!!! Location!!! This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath twin home with fully fenced yard and large detached garage is located on perhaps the most coveted block in all of Media Borough!!! This location offers the best of both worlds, as it is just a couple of blocks from State Street and the heart of downtown dining & shopping, yet it is also one of the quietest blocks in town. It's very important to note that this block of 2nd Street dead-ends at Haldeman Street (it does not connect to Providence Road), so there is virtually no through traffic! The front entrance of 224 E 2nd St features a spacious enclosed porch with a brand new lighted ceiling fan and a full surround of windows. The enclosed porch fills with natural daylight and the tilt windows allow you to feel like you’re truly outside when the weather is nice. You’ll notice this very charming home has impressive wood exterior doors at both the main front entrance and rear entrance. You’ll also notice plenty of original wood millwork throughout. The living room features beautiful REAL hardwood floors, along with a brick wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving, and lighted ceiling fan. The dining room offers more of the beautiful, real hardwood floors along with crown molding and plenty of space for a large table. The kitchen features an attractive tiled floor, oak cabinetry with an excellent amount of cabinet space, newer stainless steel dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, and lighted ceiling fan. In the rear of the home, you'll find a half bathroom nicely tucked away as well as an additional south-facing room with large bay window that fills with sunlight throughout the day and could be utilized as a mud room, sun room, or even a compact home office. The second floor is fully carpeted and the spacious master bedroom with lighted ceiling fan has great closet space. The second floor includes two additional bedrooms both with lighted ceiling fans and a very nicely updated full bath. You'll also find excellent storage space in the walk-up attic. The full basement is unfinished and offers a laundry area and plenty of additional storage space along with an outside entrance for easy access. The large rear deck has both stairs and a ramp to the fully fenced yard with a firepit, and don't forget about the large detached garage!!! The garage can potentially be utilized as a 2-car garage, or can certainly serve incredibly well as a 1-car garage with a ton of storage/workshop space and it also has a garage door opener. This property also has central air, a newer 200-amp electric service, and conversion to natural gas is available. Very conveniently located in close proximity to 476, 95, and Rt 1. Less than 15 minutes from the airport and less than 30 minutes from Center City. Located in the award-winning Rose-Tree Media school district!
