Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of one of Delaware County’s most beloved communities, 497 Vernon Street in Media, PA is a classic Cape Cod twin with a story to tell. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over time, offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience—all within the highly regarded Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Step inside to find a comfortable living room with a practical layout—equally suited for relaxed nights in or hosting friends. The updated eat-in kitchen features ample cabinetry, modern appliances, and the kind of cozy charm that makes everyday meals feel special. Just beyond, a flexible bonus room offers the perfect space for a formal dining area, home office, or occasional guest room. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms share an updated hall bath, and the unfinished basement provides excellent storage along with a half bathroom and laundry area—ideal for utility, projects, or future finishing. This home is part of a close-knit, walkable borough with something for everyone. Media—affectionately known as Everybody’s Hometown—offers a vibrant downtown, weekly seasonal events like Dining Under the Stars, and a host of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants along nearby State Street. Whether you’re catching live music, browsing the local farmer’s market, or dining alfresco on a summer evening, life here moves at just the right pace. Commuters will appreciate being just half a mile from SEPTA Regional Rail into Center City Philadelphia, 15 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, and only 25 minutes to Wilmington, Delaware—making this home a true hub for work and travel alike. And when it’s time to unwind at home, you'll appreciate details that are often hard to find in a walk-to-town location: a large, fully fenced side yard—perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or play—and a private rear parking area that easily fits three cars off-street. With major updates already completed, including a new roof in 2023 and central HVAC system installed in 2020, 497 Vernon Street is move-in ready and waiting to welcome its next chapter. Come see why this home—and this town—captures hearts and feels like home from the moment you arrive.
