Listing description

Elevated above the street on a private lot with a perfectly flat backyard, this exceptional Colonial offers the rare combination of privacy, space, and walkability, all within a secluded neighborhood just a short stroll from downtown Media's restaurants, cafés, shops, and community events. Offering 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, 53 Letitia Ln provides an impressive amount of parking and storage, including an attached one-car garage, carport, driveway parking, and a large detached two-car garage that is perfect for additional vehicles, storage, hobbies, or an elaborate workshop. Over the years, this expanded Colonial has thoughtfully preserved its original charm while adding a spacious primary suite retreat. The suite features a generous private bathroom, two walk-in closets, a bay window sitting area, and, best of all, a large private deck overlooking the backyard. A spiral staircase conveniently connects the deck directly to the yard below. Comfort and convenience are found throughout the home, with two separate air-conditioning systems, multiple entrances from the front, sides, and rear, and a roof that is only approximately six years old. Outdoor living is a true highlight. In addition to the expansive, level backyard, ideal for games, gatherings, and entertaining, a side deck located just off the living room and near the kitchen provides the perfect everyday spot to relax, dine outdoors, or enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The enclosed front porch has proven to be a favorite space for the current owners, serving as a practical transition area during the winter months while also providing an ideal place for their children to play, create, and work on projects. Additional living and storage space can be found in the partial basement, which is partially finished while still leaving room for storage and utility needs. If you have been searching for a spacious single-family home on a beautiful private lot, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet within walking distance of everything downtown Media has to offer, 53 Letitia Ln, which is part of the Rose-Tree Media School District, is one you truly need to experience in person.

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.
