About This Home

As of December 2018

Who knew so much privacy could be found just 5 minutes from the lively Media Borough?! This "tucked away" ranch offers new owners the opportunity to have their own tranquil getaway in award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, for under 330k! Enter into a large, open living room with hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level. The dining area is defined by a mid-century modern style paper chandelier, with a backdrop of serene tree-tops through the balcony door. The nicely-sized kitchen features durable stone countertops, backsplash, and tons of character with the butcher block island, cottage-style cabinetry, and plank ceiling. The coveted open floor plan is yours in this home...open the balcony doors for a relaxing cross breeze! Character continues down the hall in the full bath with glass tile walls and a large roman shower. The master bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate all of your furnishings, and features a ceiling fan and large closet. 2 additional bedrooms, a hall linen closet and larger coat closet complete the main level. Downstairs is a large family room with a wood stove and access to the HUGE NEW deck, with plenty of space to enjoy the lush wooded setting that this property boasts. The outdoor living that you will enjoy here is endless, as the deck is large enough for a BBQ setting/entertaining space, outdoor living furniture "lounging" set, play area, and covered space, where you can relax and enjoy in all climates...each season brings a "retreat" like setting where panoramic views abound, whether it be the leaves changing in the fall, or the snow touching the trees, or the warmth of the summer sun! The laundry room offers plenty of storage space. Also on this level is the 4th bedroom, with deck access and a second FULL bath; this space would make a great bedroom, guest room, home office, nanny quarters (as it has its own entrance).....the lower level doubles the living space between the great room, bedroom, bath, and convenient walk out to the outdoor living! Shade from the trees helps keeps the home cool in the warmer months. **Roof NEW in 2007/Public Water/Public Sewer/Gas Cooking** The lush setting makes this a truly unique find for a buyer that appreciates nature and privacy. The exemplary Rose Tree Media School District, proximity to the "Borough," and major routes, makes it a value packed find for a single in this area! Your bucolic retreat awaits!
