About This Home
As of June 2025Perfectly perched on close to an acre lot sits this beautiful 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath center hall Colonial home that has been loved and updated for decades by its current owners. 481 Jacques Ln offers the best of everything with its amazing location in the award winning Rose Tree Media school district, proximity to Media Borough, an updated and move-in ready appeal and plenty of versatility in its spacious floor plan! When you pull up to this home you will instantly fall in love with the park-like setting, mature landscape and weeping cherry trees. Pull up the long driveway and enter at the front door. The center hall foyer greets you. The first floor has a modern and spacious flow to include a large living room with large windows, giving you a view of the lush landscape and oak hardwood floors. The living room leads right into the formal dining room. The true eat-in kitchen has been updated with modern cabinetry, Corian countertops, peninsula, built in desk area, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast room with vaulted ceiling with doors leading out to the beautiful brick patio, perfect for hosting bbq’s and enjoying your morning coffee. The first floor family room with it's bay window seat and fireplace is the perfect space for relaxing and also offers a beautiful view of the property. The home office is large and accessed through glass French doors. This room would also make a great playroom. The oak flooring continues through the living areas of the first floor for a nice cohesive feel, making it easy to decorate in your own way. The powder and laundry rooms are perfectly tucked away and so is access to the attached interior access garage. Upstairs on the second floor you will find an owners suite with a large bedroom, thoughtful and custom built in closet space and a large tiled bath with shower, jacuzzi tub and large vanity. All 3 other bedrooms are large in size with ample closet space and there is a large hall bath. The lower level offers tons more living space and a 5th bedroom opportunity! Enjoy the large rec room for kids to play, and an enclosed room with a closet, perfect for overnight guests or another home office. The large walk in pantry is great for your overflow kitchen items and holiday decor. The unfinished utility room has tons more storage space if needed. The beauty of this home is how it sits on the lot. Because there are no homes directly in front or on either side, the natural light that pours in gives it a warmth that is hard to come by. The current owners have loved it so much and so will you. There are many upgraded features such as the whole house generator, newer windows, roofing, AC, new driveway, on demand hot water heater and newer fireplace. The home has been freshly painted throughout making it easy to move right into! Enjoy close proximity to Ridley Creek State Park (across the street), an open nature view out the front of the home, great square footage, a finished lower level, a convenient back patio for entertaining and a beautiful neighborhood to enjoy all year round. Each home is unique with centuries old farm houses nearby, one of the best town centers in the area, award winning schools and easy access to all major thoroughfares and the airport. This special home is calling your name- answer it!
