12 Manchester Ave, Media, PA 19063

Welcome to 12 Manchester Avenue!!! This compact row home packs a powerful punch in its tidy shell. Located on a one-way street within walking distance to everything that Media Borough has to offer, there is nothing you need to do but unpack and relax! So many updates have been done to this home over the past 5 years. A front garden is the perfect place for your horticultural hobby. The front screened-in porch was rebuilt in 2015 and provides a great space for three season relaxation and to wave at your neighbors that enjoy their morning & evening walks throughout the tree-lined neighborhood. The living & dining rooms are perfectly scaled, with original hardwood flooring refinished in 2020. The completely remodeled galley kitchen (in 2019) has been thoughtfully designed to provide every square inch of storage one could need, with quartz countertops, a dishwasher, garbage disposal, a full-sized fridge, gas stove & tiled flooring. Directly outside the kitchen is a large deck, then a few steps down to a brick patio surrounded by perennial beds and a raised vegetable garden! Upstairs are two bedrooms and a completely remodeled bathroom (in 2017) with a spacious glass-enclosed shower. There is a full basement for additional storage with access to the back yard. And yes, the house has central air conditioning that was just replaced in 2020. The roof was also replaced in 2020 and there are replacement windows throughout. It is the epitome of a move-in ready home! For those that are not familiar with Media, there are so many aspects of this town that locals love! Just one block away is Barrall Park with tennis & pickle ball courts and softball fields. The Media Farmers Market is open all year round on Sundays just two blocks away. During the warm months, every Wednesday is 'Dining Under the Stars' where State Street is closed and all the restaurants fill the street for outdoor dining! The annual Memorial Day Parade is always a worthy event to celebrate, and the Independence Day Celebration is a veritable Norman Rockwell painting with the antique fire trucks and a bike decorating contest! Prior to the pandemic, Media hosted three fantastic music festivals (Americana Roots Ramble in April, Blues Stroll in June and the Jazz By Night Celebration in November). As of right now, the Jazz By Night Celebration is still on schedule for 2022. There is also the most unique holiday celebration when Santa's arrival by trolley is a can't miss event. One really doesn't need a car, as both Trader Joes and the Acme are in walking distance to the house, as are numerous parks! So convenient to everything, with commuter service into Philadelphia either by the SEPTA 101 Trolley line (stops at the end of the block) or the Elwyn line (less than a 1-mile walk) with direct service to 30th Street Station and downtown Philadelphia. Need to catch a flight at Philadelphia Airport, that's a short 15 minute drive! Come explore all that Media has to offer! 2022-05-26
