Listing description

Rare Double-Lot Opportunity in an Exceptional Location! 711 Manchester Avenue offers a truly unique opportunity to own an over-sized double lot in one of the area's most desirable and convenient locations. Whether you envision expanding the existing home, creating a spectacular private yard, exploring the potential for subdivision, or possibly building a new home, this property offers possibilities that are rarely available. Buyers should verify subdivision and development potential with the municipality. Set on an expansive corner lot with established trees, mature shrubs, and plenty of character, the property is located in an eclectic community where homes of all shapes, sizes, and price points create a welcoming and distinctive neighborhood. The home itself is equally special. A stunning stone facade welcomes you inside, where a soaring living room immediately makes an impression with its dramatic proportions and beautiful hand-carved fireplace surround. The property offers an exceptional combination of character, space, and potential. Location is another major highlight. Just one mile from the Delaware County Courthouse and only three blocks from SEPTA Regional Rail, commuting and everyday convenience are effortless. Downtown Media is less than 1 mile, with fabulous restaurants, charming shops, cafés, and local amenities—all within easy walking distance, and it’s located in the Wallingford-Swarthmore school district. A double lot. A distinctive home. An outstanding location. And the potential to create something truly special. Opportunities like this don't come along often.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($216,370, 2021 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
