Description
Where History Meets Modern Grace in the Heart of Media. 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, four fireplaces, and three floors of living space in Media Borough! Once upon a time, in the 1800s, this stately home stood as the general store of Providence Village. The heart of community life, people gathered here and shared their days. Today, that same historic building has been transformed into a breathtaking residence, preserving its heritage while embracing modern elegance in every detail. Located within the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, this property boasts an unbeatable location, just a few walkable blocks from the quaint shops, fine restaurants, nostalgic trolley, and stately courthouse that make Media so special. Step inside and feel the harmony between past and present. Original hardwood floors, lovingly restored, flow through bright, open spaces where natural light fills every corner while a two-zone Ecobees thermostat system maintains the constant comfort of central air and forced heat. At the center of the home, a brand new eat-in kitchen awaits. An inspired blend of style and function with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and new cabinetry, the kitchen also boasts a separate coffee bar/pantry area and a powder room. The sunroom off the kitchen offers the perfect spot for a sitting room, playroom, or a home office. The formal dining room, rich with character, features built-in shelves and a large fireplace that sets the stage for intimate gatherings and festive celebrations. Across the hall, the living room offers another fireplace, creating a warm, inviting retreat for relaxing, gathering, or watching your favorite movie. Upstairs, the second floor offers two luxurious en-suite bedrooms, each with its own fireplace. The serene primary suite is designed for comfort and indulgence. The laundry room is located on this floor for ease. On the third floor, three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide flexible space for family, guests, or office. Plenty of storage throughout the home includes a full-size cedar closet on the third floor and a full, unfinished basement. Highlighted updates done during the current ownership include: partial roof replacement, resurfacing and staining of original hardwood floors (main level), new flooring in kitchen, new sewer line, new fence, repointing exterior stone, and custom window treatments throughout. Chimneys have been serviced and inspected. Fireplace inserts have been installed in three fireplaces on the main floor. A full list of refurbishments and updates during their ownership is available. From its origins as a cornerstone of 19th-century village life to its rebirth as a refined historic residence, this home tells a story of timeless charm and thoughtful transformation. Sit a while on the updated fenced-in front porch and soak in the vibrant energy of Media’s beloved borough.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. 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.
