Listing description

Welcome to 1288 Cedar Grove Road, a truly special home tucked away in a peaceful setting in Media. Thoughtfully renovated and lovingly maintained, this distinctive property offers the character and craftsmanship of an older home with the comfort, functionality, and updates today’s buyers are looking for. Originally built in 1875 as a local schoolhouse, the property was thoughtfully converted into a private residence in the 1930s, and today has been beautifully transformed into a warm and inviting family home. From the moment you step inside, the main living space makes an impression. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, oversized original windows, beautiful oak hardwood floors, curved walls, custom built-ins, and a striking stone fireplace create a space that feels both dramatic and incredibly welcoming. There is plenty of room here to gather, relax, entertain, and make the everyday moments of family life feel a little more special. The heart of the home is the renovated kitchen, where timeless character meets thoughtful functionality. Corian countertops, a custom baker’s station, ample cabinetry, exposed original rafters, and the original schoolhouse window create a kitchen that is as beautiful as it is practical. The adjoining dining room provides an inviting setting for family dinners and holiday gatherings, while the spacious family room offers a more relaxed place to unwind, with direct access to the deck and backyard. The first floor also features a beautifully renovated full bathroom with radiant heated floors and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and views of the surrounding landscape. The beautifully renovated hall bathroom is a standout, featuring an exposed original stone wall in the shower, leathered quartzite countertops, custom oak cabinetry, a porcelain sink, and radiant heated tile floors. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or whatever your household needs. One features custom built-ins and generous storage, while the other offers exposed architectural details, cedar-lined closets, dormer storage, and an exposed stone chimney. The home continues to deliver outside. A spacious deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped, terraced property, creating an ideal spot for morning coffee, summer dinners, or simply enjoying the privacy of the mature trees and surrounding landscape. Stone walls, established plantings, and the charming former outhouse, now used as a garden shed, add to the character of the grounds. For everyday convenience, the property also offers a two-car attached garage with direct access to the basement, expanded parking, and abundant storage. Located just minutes from downtown Media and Newtown Square and within the highly regarded Marple Newtown School District, the location offers an ideal balance of privacy and convenience. Enjoy nearby restaurants, shopping, parks, and recreation at Ridley Creek State Park, Tyler Arboretum, and Rose Tree Park, with easy access to major commuter routes. This is a home with personality, space, craftsmanship, and a story of its own. Beautifully cared for and ready for its next family, 1288 Cedar Grove Road is the kind of home that feels special the moment you walk through the door.

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.
