About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this beautifully updated Cape Cod nestled in the desirable Rose Tree Woods community, right in the heart of Media. This lovingly maintained home combines timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates throughout, making it truly move-in ready. You're greeted by a perfectly manicured lawn and enter a bright and welcoming main level, where a spacious living room and formal dining room flank the entryway. Toward the rear of the home, the stunningly renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, and space for a cozy bistro table, ideal for morning coffee or casual dining. Just off the kitchen, a charming four-season sunroom with a mini-split and two sets of sliding doors offers year-round enjoyment and access to the fully fenced backyard. One set leads to a brick paver patio, perfect for entertaining, while the other leads to a convenient storage shed. Also on the main level is a spacious bedroom with built-ins, as well as a beautifully updated full hall bath with a sleek, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, ideal for guests or main-floor living. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring both a glass-enclosed tile shower and a relaxing Jacuzzi tub. The fully finished basement offers incredible flexibility, complete with a large recreation room, a third full bathroom with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a dedicated laundry room with utility sink, a storage nook, and a separate flex space with a large closet, perfect as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or home office. All bathrooms have been updated and exhaust fans have been installed for added comfort. Major systems have also been upgraded for comfort and efficiency, including a new HVAC system with multiple zones installed in 2022, each floor is independently controlled by its own thermostat. A high-efficiency tankless hot water heater and a whole-house water filtration system were both added in 2024. Enjoy the unbeatable location just blocks from Rose Tree Elementary and the newly updated Rose Tree Park with its modern playground. Minutes to Media Borough’s shops, restaurants, and events, and a short drive to the natural beauty of Ridley Creek State Park. Don’t miss your chance to own this thoughtfully updated gem in one of Media’s most beloved neighborhoods! Correct Tax Amount is $6.381
