* Showings begin on Monday, March 22nd. * Are you looking for modern comfort, privacy and easy access to Media Boro? This is the home for you! A freshly paved drive brings you to this whimsical retreat on almost an acre of land. The house sits back from Farnum Road on a private lane. It is the last house on the left-hand side, and offers spectacular views of the woods, replete with curious chipmunks and a family of deer. Overall the house has over 2100 square feet; 1345 upstairs and approximately 800 on the lower level. Oak floors are throughout the spacious living/dining rooms and all three bedrooms. The open kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a peninsula for entertaining. Off the dining room is a raised composite Trex deck that overlooks the property -- almost an acre of woods that provides that retreat-type feel while being close to everything Media has to offer. The two full baths have been renovated. The main bedroom’s bathroom is en suite, with modern subway tiles in the walk-in shower and an organic feel with the open wood shelves. You’ll notice there is a lot of storage in this house as well – large closets in all bedrooms, a hall closet and even more downstairs. Systems-wise, this house is in top shape. Roof and boiler upgrades in 2013 and the AC replaced in 2020. The lower level is a wonder: lots of sunny space to make your own. This is where you’ll find the half-bath and laundry room. Sliding doors open to a patio, perfect for a fire pit. Turn the key, and get ready to move in! And don’t forget this is in the award-winning Rose Tree-Media school district, easy access to 476, PHL, KOP and Center City. Plus just minutes to the fine restaurants in downtown Media . . . or just Dine Under Your Own Stars at 619 Farnum!
