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.
