9 Howarth Ave, Media, PA 19063

Welcome to 9 Howarth Ave, a one-of-a-kind, custom built home in Rose Tree Media School district that is ready for its second owner! Nestled among the trees, this home was built with a lovely view of lush greenery and nature. The strategically placed windows provide great privacy from the surrounding neighbors while still inviting in natural light. As you enter the home you are greeted by 9 foot ceilings and an open concept main level with sight lines between the living room, dining area and kitchen. Beautiful, diagonal laid, birch hardwood flooring throughout provides a cohesive flow and brightens the space. The curved wall on the west corner of the house provides architectural intrigue and breaks the mold of a traditionally built "cookie cutter" home. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, tons of lighting options, reeded glass front cabinetry, concrete countertops with red-glass inlay and an island with seating for 4. A pantry closet provides additional storage for all of your must have cooking items. From the kitchen sink, enjoy a forested view while prepping dinner and some inspiration as you fill out your grocery list on the chalk-board wall to your left.
