431 Kirk Ln

Media, PA 19063

Prepare to be impressed by 431 Kirk Lane, a 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Brick New England Colonial-style home with a rarely found studio/office attached to the 2-car garage, all on a deep, level .55 acre property, just minutes from bustling downtown Media Borough. This is a special home that exudes the testament of time and shines through its potential. Lovingly maintained over the years by long-time owners, this home is primed to be appreciated for the characteristics of a home that mean the most: location, interior space and exterior space. Unlike other homes of this style, 431 Kirk boasts not just one but three living spaces on the first level: an oversized R with classic wood FP, mantle & recessed book shelving, a family room addition and a fully heated/cooled enclosed porch with walls of windows where possible uses include an office, reading nook, artist studio or playroom. Timeless original HW flooring flows throughout this level. The homes kitchen could be considered a retro throwback for some buyers or an opportunity for others. With generous space for eat-in capability the kitchen space leaves room for unending layout options adjacent to the homes formal dining room. There are several closets in the kitchen and a conveniently located powder room. The spacious rooms and the openness between the kitchen and informal living space meet the needs of the open floor plan that today's buyers desire. Climbing the homes robust center stairs you will arrive at an impressively large main bedroom with brand new carpet and dual closets. The unexpected en suite bathroom is a clean slate for your personal style. Also an untapped bonus is an unbuilt private patio space accessible from the main bedroom that has been beckoning to be utilized since the home was constructed. The 2nd floor open hallway feels timeless and leads to three generously sized bedrooms and a tiled hall bath. Prior to the 2-story addition, adding approximately 360sf to the rear of the home, the front bedroom served as the "main", so you will be delighted to find this bedroom to be comparable to a main bedroom in size (16x14) and also boasting two closets. The HW flooring is continuous throughout this level beyond the main bedroom, as are 6-paneled doors. For additional storage, there are pull-down stairs to a full attic with a large cedar closet. The 600 sf lower level of this home, while unfinished, offers storage and a laundry area, hot water heater ('20), furnace ('14) and an egress door. As an accompaniment to the main home, a 2nd structure on the back parcel of the property is tucked away & presents endless possibilities. This second building houses a 2car garage + a 300sf studio which includes a kitchenette and full bath (condition unknown, but the cabinets, plumbing, etc. exist and this space is ready to be brought back to life). There is an obvious conclusion to use this portion of 431 Kirk as an au pair or in-law suite, or at-home office that is separate from the main house. Sitting on a flat parcel of land is one of the many characteristics that makes this home feel stately yet possibly unrealized while the back yard is yearning for a vegetable garden, game of badminton, fire pit or personal sanctuary. 431 Kirk is a home with an inherent equity-build where you will find ways to make this perennial fixture perfectly yours. In the center of it all with extreme proximity to the walkable, shoppable, dining-under-the-stars Media Boro with destinations such as Trader Joes, Azie, Per Lei Boutique, Ocean City Coffee, The Towne House + less than 1.5 miles from Rose Tree Park which is a regional hub for many community events. Minutes from 476, the "101" trolley, & Media and Elwyn train stations. An enduring home with 4 bedrooms, living spaces, bedroom sizes and a flat parcel within the highly desirable Rose Tree Media School District is a rare find!
