Welcome to 36 Park Avenue, where timeless cottage appeal meets thoughtful, high-quality updates in the heart of Media. All stucco has been completely removed and replaced with vinyl siding! Set in a warm and welcoming neighborhood filled with friendly faces, this home offers a true sense of community - from evening walks and kids playing outside to unforgettable Halloween nights with some of the best trick-or-treating around. This 3-bedroom home blends character, comfort, and future potential - affectionately known as the “Little Red House”, where cottage living meets Japandi-inspired design. The primary and secondary bedrooms are positioned on the main level, offering the ease and flexibility of true first-floor living. Natural light fills the interior, enhancing the soft, curated finishes and creating a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable. The main living area is inviting and functional, while the oversized rear deck seamlessly extends your living space outdoors - ideal for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The expansive yard offers exceptional flexibility, whether you envision a garden, outdoor retreat, or future expansion. Beyond its character, the home has been extensively improved with major upgrades already completed (updates made with love by current family who weren't expecting to have to move this quickly!), including new siding, a remodeled kitchen and bathroom, new flooring, fresh interior paint, upgraded ductwork, improved drainage, an updated rear deck, a new water heater, and more - offering a level of convenience and peace of mind that is hard to find, complemented by low annual taxes of approximately $3,000. Adding to its appeal, township-approved plans for a second-floor expansion present a unique opportunity to increase living space and long-term value. Located just minutes from downtown Media, this home offers the best of both worlds - a quiet neighborhood setting with close proximity to dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences, all within the highly regarded Rose Tree Media School District. Refined, move-in ready, and thoughtfully updated, this is a home that truly stands apart.
