About This Home

As of February 2021

This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home with a 2 car garage in Media has potential galore! The first floor consists of a formal dining room that has an extra touch with the crown molding and chair rails. There is an over sized office for those work at home days. The foyer has a large coat closet with plenty of storage. The huge kitchen over looks a breakfast/dining area and family room, complete with stone, gas, remote controlled fire place for those cozy nights. Family room has sliders that take you out onto an oversized deck for entertaining. Beautifully decorated powder room and laundry room complete with pantry and closet for added storage. Another door exits out onto the deck with its 36' of retractable Sun Setter awnings to keep the sun off the deck on those extra hot, sunny days. The other rear exit leads to an enclosed hot tub. Enjoy cool nights in the hot tub and then go inside by a cozy fire. The upstairs features an extra large main bedroom suit with full bath and walk-in closet. The other two large bedrooms have extra roomy closets. This home has 2 separate floored attics for added storage. There is a full sized basement with extra closets for added storage. The 2 car attached garage is full sized! The current owners were considering putting in an in-ground pool and had the plans drawn up by an engineer. If a home with an in-ground pool is something you are considering, it is very possible to do on this lot. Plans from the engineer are included in the sale for the new buyer. Set up your appointment for your private viewing today! This one probably won't last long.
