    Classic characterStone fish pondNewer poolDetached two-car garageFully fenced yardQuiet tree-lined dead-end laneMature landscaping
    Tucked at the end of a quiet, tree-lined, dead-end lane, 490 Bancroft Lane offers a peaceful setting just steps from the train and a short walk to the heart of Media, known for its vibrant downtown, unique shops, restaurants, and strong sense of community. Built in 1910, the home blends classic character with thoughtful updates. Original details such as moldings, built-in china cabinets, and a fireplace add warmth, while the center hall layout allows natural light to flow from the formal living and dining rooms into the bright morning room. The home has been expanded and improved over time to enhance both comfort and functionality. A large kitchen addition serves as the central gathering space, and the finished basement provides flexible room for work, recreation, or storage. The primary suite includes a dressing area, spacious bathroom, and sun porch. Outside, the property features a newer pool, mature landscaping, a stone fish pond, and multiple spaces for relaxing or entertaining, including a brick patio and an open-air porch with a bar. The fully fenced yard also includes a detached two-car garage. The location offers easy access to everything Media has to offer, along with a convenient commute to Philadelphia by train. Situated in the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, 490 Bancroft Lane offers the space, setting, and location that make it easy to feel at home.
