Amazing opportunity to own an energy-efficient, ranch style home with permaculture landscaping in the desirable Bowling Green/Pine Ridge neighborhood of Nether Providence, in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. This light-filled, generously scaled ranch with bonus finished basement and porch space, offers a flexible layout for families of any age. A private, eco-friendly, half acre lot boasts mostly native plantings, healthy shade trees, a large fenced organic vegetable garden, multiple pear trees, blueberry bushes, and a pollinator-friendly perennial garden. There is plenty of room to play in the level back yard, watch wildlife, with a healthy monarch population and wide variety of birds, or star-gaze from the screened back porch. The Main Floor offers two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, large living room, large dining room and a generous eat-in cherry-wood kitchen with a family friendly layout. There is a 400 sq ft screened porch off the kitchen and living room, which adds eating, play and storage space. The laundry area is on the Main Floor. Lower level offers a finished 3rd bedroom, which could be used as a family room or craft space. There is inside access to a deep 1 car garage (formerly 2). There is ample storage throughout the house with multiple closets and built-ins. This home is well-maintained, recently painted with many upgrades, including energy efficiency features such as; replacement Pella wood windows, replacement solid-core interior doors, newer gas furnace and cooking appliances. Mostly hardwood and tile floors. Multiple ceiling fans to supplement central air. Newer 200 amp service panel. Highly energy-efficient with blown-in insulation, while grid-tied solar panels dramatically reduce electric bills (about a $700/year savings at current electric rates). Copper water lines replaced (2013). Wood stove provides optional self-sufficiency in heating and supplements efficient baseboard HW heat with gas furnace. Excellent dry storage in basement crawl space and garage, plus walk-up attic with partial flooring. Low maintenance exterior. This house is conveniently located, with an easy walking distance to downtown Media, a very short walk to the 101 trolley and grocery store, and easy access to 476 and the Septa rail station. Don't miss this opportunity to own this eco-friendly, lovingly maintained home!
