Description
Rare opportunity to own a solid brick home on over two private acres in a prime Media-area location. Exceptional privacy, strong construction, and extensive system upgrades make this property an ideal long-term investment as well as a comfortable, high-quality place to live. This is a truly rare opportunity to own a private, resort-like retreat in the heart of Media. Tucked away on a 2+ acre lot in prestigious Upper Providence Township - one of Pennsylvania's most desirable suburbs - and just minutes from vibrant downtown Media, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, nature, and everyday convenience. Set within the highly regarded Rose Tree Media School District, it also supports strong long-term value retention through one of the area's most respected public school systems. Surrounded by natural beauty, the property borders the renowned Broomall Lake Country Club and is within walking distance of the 32-acre Glen Providence County Park, a protected bird sanctuary featuring peaceful trails and mature woodlands. Every season offers something special, from lush spring greenery to vibrant fall foliage, and even the rare enjoyment of winter sledding right in your own backyard. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee with serene wooded views, spending afternoons exploring nearby trails, and unwinding in the evenings with complete privacy in your own natural sanctuary - all while being just minutes from dining and shopping in downtown Media, community events at Rose Tree Park, and convenient access to the Blue Route. Inside, the home offers a bright, open, and flexible layout designed for modern living. With four well-proportioned bedrooms, including two potential primary suites (one on each level), the home is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guests, or flexible work-from-home arrangements. Thoughtful upgrades on the main level enhance both comfort and style, including a fully remodeled modern bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with marble flooring and porcelain wall tile. The remaining bathroom areas are finished with durable 2.5mm anti-slip, anti-scratch, water-resistant luxury vinyl flooring, while the rest of the upper-level living areas feature 3mm anti-slip, anti-scratch, water-resistant luxury vinyl flooring. Additional improvements include fresh designer paint, modern lighting, and a newly built open closet system. The updated gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances and a built-in wine cooler, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. An oversized two-car garage provides added convenience and ample storage. The finished lower level adds valuable, flexible living space, featuring a custom built-in closet and a classic brick fireplace that enhances warmth and character. The attached greenhouse provides a peaceful year-round retreat, perfect for relaxing or enjoying indoor-outdoor living. Behind the aesthetics, the home delivers outstanding peace of mind with significant system investments already completed, including upgraded 200-amp electrical service with modern safety protections and whole-house surge protection (2025), a new water softener and drinking water system (2025), recent appliance upgrades including a washer tower and refrigerator (2025), a newer high-efficiency 5-zone boiler (2023), a newer water heater (2023), updated insulation (2022), and roof drainage improvements (2019). With only three owners in its history - each of whom maintained and improved the property over decades - this home reflects long-term pride of ownership. It is now ready for its next chapter and the next owner to continue its legacy. More than a home, this is a rare lifestyle and investment opportunity - offering privacy, nature, strong construction, and lasting value in one of the most desirable locations in the Media area.
