Property Description
Welcome to this one-of-a-kind, Frank Furness-inspired Victorian home blocks away from Media Borough and awaiting your inspiration and personal touch! This majestic house dates back to the 1800's and boasts much of the authentic character of the time including patterned hardwood floors, ornate trim work and fireplaces with original tile surrounds. After parking in the circular drive, you are greeted by the charming wrap-around porch, perfect for entertaining or just relaxing on a warm spring evening. Enter this beauty into the living room with soaring ceilings, sun-filled windows and converted gas fireplace. Connected is a dining room with pocket doors and original, hand-carved built-in cabinet. The kitchen was updated in 2011 and includes the original butler's pantry and tall cabinets. A family room, half bath and laundry room complete the first floor. Head up either side of the split staircase to the landing with gorgeously detailed windows. Continue to the second floor where you will find a sizable landing and large linen closet. Down a private hall is the master bedroom and bath. The master includes a hidden fireplace, two closets, and French doors leading to the sleeping porch. The second bedroom has a fireplace, two closets and a window seat that opens for extra storage. The third bedroom also has a fireplace and a unique floor to ceiling window that accesses a balcony. The fourth bedroom completes the floor with a deep closet and access to the sleeping porch. Venture up a winding staircase to the third floor which has two additional rooms that can be used as office space, additional bedrooms, a library, craft room or whatever you need. The basement is dry and has an outside entrance. The HVAC system and hot water heater were new in 2011. This one-of-a-kind gem sits on a half acre lot in the close-knit Idlewild neighborhood, where the stately Idlewild Hotel once stood. Head to Media Borough for Dining Under the Stars, parades, festivals or just a night out on the town. Or take the nearby train from Moylan station for an easy ride into Philadelphia. This beautiful piece of history can be yours don't let it slip away!
