Description

Have you been waiting for that perfect home, large enough to have your whole family over and it's located on a cul de sac street in Media? Well it's here!! Don't miss out on this fantastic single colonial style home with so much to offer. Let's start with the driveway, large enough to fit at least 3 cars, but there's always parking on the street. Walk up the perfectly proportioned steps that have low voltage lighting on a timer. The front yard has lovely plantings and also has spotlights. Wait till you see the covered front porch. What a relaxing area. Now, walk through the custom double wood doors into the home. The entry foyer with coat closet leads to a large living room with a gorgeous bow window and a wood burning fireplace. This flows right into the formal dining room complete with chandelier and roomy enough to house a large table and chairs. Pocket doors enhance this room which will allow you to enter to the fantastic family room with custom shelving, a large picture window with window seat, a convenient closet and opens to the kitchen that is a chef's dream. Complete with a multitude of cabinets, the kitchen features a built in breakfast countertop with pendant lights, all-natural Quartzite counters, tile floor, tile backsplash, a desk area, pantry closet, a lovely skylight to allow natural light in and a terrific size breakfast area with chandelier. But wait, there's more. Exit the kitchen through french doors to a 3 season screened porch that will become your favorite room. It comes complete with 3 skylights, 2 ceiling fans, electric, cable and overlooks the extremely large fenced yard. You can exit the porch to a wrap around deck with accent lighting on a timer and motion detector spotlight. Just imagine the barbecues you can have here! Now for the 2nd floor. Let's start with the master bedroom with a ceiling fan, custom closet and carpeting. You also have a master bath with a corner shower stall. There are 3 additional generous sized bedrooms with carpets and ceiling fans. And the hall bath was remodeled about 10 years ago with tile floor and backsplash along with a full tile bathtub area. There is hardwood flooring underneath carpets in living room, dining room and all 2nd floor bedrooms. Need storage? No worries, use the pull down stairs in the hallway to access the partially floored attic which also has a gable fan and exhaust fan on a thermostat. Need more storage? Wait till you see the large unfinished basement with high ceilings. Currently has custom shelving which will stay with the home along with the work bench/desk. The heater was installed in 2017 and is a Lenox high efficiency one with an air cleaner and humidifier. The water heater has a 50 gallon tank. There's 200 amp electric service for the home. In addition there's a separate laundry room on this level which also has great storage capacity. Additional upgrades/features include a new driveway in 2018, New roof on the house in 2010 and on the enclosed porch in 2015 with a 50 year limited transferrable warranty to the new owner. The roof also has ice and water shields for the upmost protection. There is so much more I can say, but for now...come take a look! You'll be so glad you did!

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
