"I had no idea this was back here! That is what long time DelCo residents say when they cross Ridley Creek and are greeted by a view across open space to this beautiful Ann Capron custom designed house on 16+ acres bordered by Ridley Creek and RCSP. This house has great natural light, views and flow and is perfect for entertaining or just entertaining yourself! Newly renovated kitchen with Wolf and European appliances. Soaring ceilings make for lofty common areas while the 5 bedrooms/4 bathrooms are cozy and bright. Beautiful new 1st floor master suite and laundry room. Plenty of custom closets throughout plus oak cabinets in the office overlooking the pool. Extra large basement with wine cellar, large storage closet and room for recreation or as expanded living space. Located in the Rose Tree/Media school district within easy driving distance of PHL, northeast corridor cities and the surrounding countryside. SmartAsset recently ranked Media with its walkability, shopping, theater, restaurants and community spirit the sixth best place in the U. S. to retire, citing doctors and recreation centers per capita.
