About the property

Renovated 4BR Colonial on Quiet Cul-de-Sac with .49‑Acre Lot

What sets 688 Meadowbrook Lane apart is the combination of a generous half-acre lot and a full, top-to-bottom renovation completed in 2026. Sitting at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, this 2,807-square-foot colonial has been refreshed with high-end finishes while retaining the comfortable proportions of a classic family home. Enter through the foyer into rooms that feel both bright and purposeful: recently refinished hardwood floors flow through the main living spaces, an updated fireplace anchors the living room, and tasteful millwork complements the fresh paint and fixtures.

The kitchen is a central statement — custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances deliver a modern cooking experience without sacrificing storage or workflow. Adjoining spaces accommodate both everyday meals and larger gatherings, while updated bathrooms reflect contemporary design and durable materials. The house sits on a level 0.49-acre parcel (21,475 sq ft), providing a private yard for play, gardening, and outdoor entertaining.

Practical systems were addressed during renovation: new or updated mechanicals include central AC, forced-air gas heating, and an asphalt shingle roof noted in property records. A full, unfinished basement offers substantial storage and a clear path for customization — media room, workshop, or additional living space. The attached two-car garage and long driveway provide ample parking for family and guests.

Families will appreciate that the home is inside the Rose Tree Media School District, with Media Elementary, Springton Lake Middle, and Penncrest High (9/10) serving the neighborhood. Location is quietly residential yet convenient: downtown Media’s shops and restaurants are roughly two miles away, Rose Tree Park about 1.5 miles, and Ridley Creek State Park around three miles — easy access to outdoor recreation, community events, and commuter routes into the greater Philadelphia area.

A recent sale and the scope of renovations create an appealing value proposition: last sold in February 2026 for $530,000, the property’s finished condition and nearby comparable sales support the current market estimate. Buyers should note the home is on septic (inspection recommended) and verify permitting history where needed. This home offers move-in-ready comfort, excellent schools, and a large private lot — a rare combination for Media.

Editorial market perspective

The Media residential market is favoring sellers right now. Inventory sits at approximately 2.5 months — below a neutral market — and average days on market are near 41 days, indicating homes in well-located neighborhoods still move briskly. Local median sale price is roughly $580,000 with one-year appreciation around 5% and five-year appreciation near 25%. Comparable nearby sales on Meadowbrook Lane show price-per-square-foot figures in the $250–$275 range, reflecting strong demand for renovated single-family homes. For this property type — renovated single-family homes in the Rose Tree Media School District — buyer interest remains high because of school quality and proximity to downtown Media. The recent renovation reduces short-term maintenance exposure, making this an attractive purchase for owner-occupiers seeking turnkey conditions or investors targeting stable long-term appreciation. Caveats include limited inventory (which can push prices higher) and potential reassessment-driven tax increases after a transaction. Given current trends and the home's recent upgrades, now is a competitive but logical time to consider offers.
