425 W Rose Tree Rd, Media, PA 19063

Welcome to 425 W Rose Tree Road, one of Media’s earlier homes, with the original structure built in 1730. Expanded in the nineteenth century, the home has been lovingly and sympathetically updated in recent years to preserve the historic character and create a beautiful and comfortable living space . Set on 1.35 acres on Robin Hill, a private lane, the property enjoys a secluded and natural setting yet is only minutes from downtown Media. From the private entry road, the driveway leads to the detached 2 car garage. The stone walkways carry past a once working well and flowerbeds as well as a gorgeous stone patio area, to the entry. To the right of the home is a large level lawn extending to the West. Much of the rest of the property is woodlands, with a small creek running past down below. Inside, the eat-in-kitchen was custom renovated with abundant knotty pine cabinetry and granite counters. Next to the kitchen is the large formal dining room with wood-burning fireplace, well suited for family gatherings and celebrations. A second fireplace is in the cozy living room with wide window sills. Running through both rooms is gorgeous wide plank wood flooring, and trim detailing. Connected to both rooms is a former porch that is now a wonderful sun-filled family room, which could also become a 4th bedroom. Completing the main level is a newer full bathroom. There are two staircases that lead to the second floor. Upstairs is a large primary bedroom, a full hall bathroom, and two more bedrooms. There is also walk-up access to the attic. Downstairs is a partially finished basement that runs the length of the house. First is an exercise room, with storage against the back wall. Next is the laundry room tucked behind barn board doors. And lastly is a paneled bonus room, currently used for storage, which has previously been used as a playroom and a home office. Under the sunroom is a powder room and a large home office with a door leading outside. On the back of the home is an outdoor shower and additional storage area. Comfortable, spacious and charming, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Delaware County history. Nearby is Media Borough, Ridley Creek State Park, Rose Tree Park, and Tyler Arboretum. Located within award-wining Rose Tree Media School District, the area provides easy access to public transit via SEPTA, the airport, Center City Philadelphia and the region’s major roadways.
