Endless Possibilities Await on This Picture-Perfect Lot Just Minutes from Media!Nestled on nearly two acres of stunning natural beauty, this rare gem offers an extraordinary opportunity to create your dream home or investment in one of Delaware County’s most charming and walkable towns—Media. The setting is nothing short of magical, featuring a meandering stream, lush gardens, breathtaking views, and an abundance of mature ornamental and native trees, including Japanese split-leaf maples, rhododendrons, weeping cherry, and Pennsylvania redbud. Perennial plantings of hostas, irises, wild asparagus, daylilies, and even blueberries provide color and life through every season, while a 25+ year-old wisteria vine cascades in stunning bloom across the deck each spring. Outdoor lovers will enjoy a private swimming hole over 6 feet deep, and a one-mile mountain bike trail winding through the property with built-in jumps—perfect for recreation and adventure right in your backyard. The existing two-story, two-bedroom, one-bath home needs significant work, but it is filled with unique character and artisan craftsmanship. Hand-carved details by renowned local carpenter Charles Cummings grace the cabinets, table, spiral staircase, and switch plates, giving the home an irreplaceable charm. Additional features include a three-season sunporch with a hidden trap door to the basement, hardwood floors, woodstove, natural gas heat, public water, and on-site septic system (replaced in 2010). A detached structure on the property offers incredible flexibility for a home business, studio, or potential apartment with its own electric meter and incinerator toilet. With a paved driveway for 4+ cars, basement laundry, and dual sump pumps, there is a strong foundation here to build something truly special. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that blends privacy, nature, creativity, and convenience—just a short walk into the heart of Media’s shops, restaurants, and events. Bring your vision and imagination—this is a canvas ready for transformation.
