About This Home

As of September 2017

Set off of Farnum Road in a private village like setting cul-de-sac, this home has so much to offer. Let's start with the convenient walk into town location. Or maybe a quick walk to Cherry Street Park. Or a quick zip to the train, the Blue Route or Rose Tree Park for a picturesque walk or take in an outdoor concert. WOW! We haven't even talked about the house yet. This home was totally renovated just a few short years ago. Some of the lovely features about this home are the updated eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There's even a fireplace in the kitchen. The family room is large, open and bright and has exposed beams and radiant heat in the floors. No more chilly toes while watching your favorite movie. The first-floor master bedroom with its updated master bath includes a beautiful ceramic tile shower with dual heads including a rain head?Ahhh. The dining room is just off the kitchen and has a door that leads out to the multi tiered deck, a great place to sit and relax overlooking the level and spacious yard. There is also a second bedroom and another full bath on the main floor and upstairs there's 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom and a small office or craft room. Each of the bedrooms includes a ceiling fan as well. There are 2 zones for heating and air conditioning so you can "tune in" your desired temperature. This private yet convenient location also includes a security system and a nearly new shed measuring 12 x 18 plus an additional large storage shed. Media is the place to be, so come quick. As they say, "Media, Everybody's Hometown". Check out Terry Bradshaw's television spot about Media at visitmediapa.
