About This Home
As of August 2025Charming 1920s twin nestled on a picturesque, 1⁄4-acre park-like lot with a fantastic back yard in the desirable Rose Tree Media School District in Middletown Township. Set back from the road for added privacy, a beautifully landscaped path leads to the welcoming covered front porch and a distinctive wood front door with the original manual doorbell.
Inside, the living room features a reclaimed wood accent wall, chair rail, and exposed wood ceiling beams that flow seamlessly into the bright, open dining room. Original hardwood floors add timeless character throughout.
The sunlit kitchen offers ample cabinetry, generous counter space, a ceramic tile backsplash, and access to a rear deck overlooking the incredible, fully fenced backyard—complete with professional landscaping and a fire pit, perfect for entertaining and relaxing, not to mention a dream place for your four-legged friends.
Upstairs, you’ll find the primary bedroom with a custom wood accent wall, two additional bedrooms with closets, a full hall bath, a linen closet, and abundant natural light. The original hardwood floors continue throughout the second floor.
The basement provides excellent storage, laundry, workshop space, and additional outdoor storage beneath the home, accessible from the driveway.
Perks: A professionally installed custom outdoor drainage system features underground piping that redirects water from the backyard to the front—an ideal long-term improvement that helps keep the basement dry. Plus, low real estate taxes make this home as affordable as it is charming.
Tucked away in a serene setting yet just minutes from local parks, vibrant downtown Media, Elwyn Station (SEPTA’s Media/Elwyn line), and the Promenade at Granite Run’s shops and restaurants.
