Description
One of Media Borough's most unique and versatile properties has arrived. Just a short walk from the vibrant shops, restaurants, parks, and year-round events on State Street, 424 N. Monroe Street offers a rare opportunity to own a beautiful carriage house that blends historic character, exceptional flexibility, and outstanding investment potential. Currently configured as a two-unit property, this home offers immediate options for its next owner. One apartment is vacant and move-in ready, while the second remains occupied, making it ideal for an owner-occupant looking to offset a mortgage, an investor seeking strong rental potential, or a buyer ready to transform the property into one of Media's most distinctive single-family residences. Each unit offers two bedrooms and one full bath, along with its own private porch and two dedicated off-street parking spaces. The downstairs unit also features a new microwave, oven, and dishwasher, adding fresh updates and everyday convenience for its next occupant. The property's flexible layout also creates exciting possibilities for multi-generational living. The lower level could potentially be incorporated as a private in-law or guest suite-providing space for parents, adult children, long-term guests, or a separate work-from-home retreat while maintaining privacy within the home. With a proven rental history and a layout well suited for future conversion, the possibilities are truly exceptional. Properties like this are incredibly rare in the Borough. Set on a generous lot with four off-street parking spots, the home offers a level of convenience seldom found in this walkable community. The expansive front yard is one of the largest in Media Borough and creates an exceptional outdoor setting-perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, or relaxed picnics beneath the property's beautiful, mature trees. Enjoy morning coffee at a neighborhood café, browse the Sunday Farmers Market, experience Dining Under the Stars, or spend the afternoon in nearby Glen Providence Park, Houtman Park, Heritage Park, or Barrall Field. Trader Joe's, the Media-Upper Providence Free Library, and the Media/Elwyn Regional Rail station are all just minutes away. Adding even more versatility is a charming, detached shed with hardwood floors, offering wonderful potential as a home office, gardening studio, art studio, creative space, or hobby retreat. Tucked into the property's beautiful outdoor setting, it is a special bonus space that can easily adapt to the next owner's lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a property with income potential, a multi-generational living opportunity, or a truly special home to make your own, 424 N. Monroe Street offers unmatched flexibility in one of Delaware County's most desirable neighborhoods. Opportunities like this rarely come to market.
