Move in ready plus a great walking and commuter location – 410 N Olive Street – a 2 bed 1 bath 1,196 sq. ft. brick colonial single family home built in 1890 on a spacious city lot. Located in sought after Rose Tree School District in Borough of Media. Walk to: Media’s many restaurants; unique shops; County offices; Court House; Trader Joe’s; Media Theater; public library; children’s parks; Philly trolley; and the Media train station. Home is: a 37 minute commute to Philly’s 30th St Station by train; an 11 mile drive to the Philadelphia Airport; minutes from the Blue Route and I-95; and a 35-minute drive to Philadelphia or Wilmington. This is a 2 story plus walk-up attic and walk-out basement home located on a 140 ft. deep lot with alley access to rear of lot and plenty of room to add a parking pad or garage. On street parking also available. New gutters and downspouts installed in 2020. A side wood deck leads you from front yard to a kitchen door and stairs down to a concrete patio (in rough but safe useable condition) also accessible from the walk out basement. Home has good yard space for playing outside or gardening. Alley is dead end with nearly no traffic; walk out your back door and across alley to the new in 2021 Broomall Street Park. Basement is dry with 360 sq. ft. of floor space 9 ft. of ceiling height and newly mortared interior walls. The gas hot air furnace (air conditioning is only by window units), gas hot water heater, and utility sink are located in one area allowing the balance of basement for storage or build out; there is room for a basement half bath to be added making the patio and spacious yard just outside this walk-out basement better for entertainment. The home has a central staircase that rises four floors starting in the basement and ending in the attic. Enter the main floor from the front stoop and go up the stairs to the bedroom level; or left to an 11’ x 10’ living room; or right to an 11’ x 10' dining room; both with wood plantation shutters to allow in sunshine or provide privacy when preferred. Pass through either the dining room or living room to the 11’ x 12’ kitchen with ample cabinet space and matching black refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, and over range microwave; all in good working order. Off the kitchen is a large 6’ x 12’ pantry. Go upstairs to a hallway with access to two bedrooms, a spacious full bath, and a new in 2021 stacked laundry center with gas dryer. The fully functional but dated bath has a tub/shower combination and single sink vanity. With two windows for natural light and a generous footprint there is room to bring your design to life should you wish. Bedroom 1 will fit a king size bed and two small side tables. Off this bedroom there is a 6 ft. x 12 ft. walk-in closet with two windows for natural light. Bedroom 2 has no dedicated closet; so an armoire or sharing the walk-in closet is the likely solution if room is used as a bedroom. Recently used as a guest room with queen bed and home office. A staircase to access the attic is off this bedroom; attic access area can be used as closet space. Just completed renovations include: interior painting; new bedroom, walk-in closet and hallway carpets; new electrical outlets and switches; new window treatments on 2nd floor, and new quartz kitchen countertops. Three sets of concept plans to expand this home have been prepared by an architect. One expands the footprint but maintains a two-story home; one adds a third story; and one adds a third story and an elevator. All plans are for a three bedroom 2 and ½ bath modern home that maintains the 1890 brick colonial curb appeal. All plans add a large ground (basement) level multi-purpose room in the rear. All plans add a large main floor family room plus an expanded kitchen and dining space. NOTE – Buyer’s agents are protected.
