On the market: A four-bedroom home in a wooded area of Media for $689,000

“We fell in love with the Middletown area because it’s so green,” says Tony DeCicci, who built there for himself and his wife, Maria Bucco, in the mid-1990s.

But since then, it’s also been noteworthy for its versatility, serving as a place to raise children and to accommodate DeCicci’s mother before she died.

“The house has grown with us,” he says.

DeCicci, a Realtor, and Bucco, a physician, moved from Wynnewood before their son and daughter were born. The children were educated in the Rose Tree-Media School District. And the home’s spacious 2,754-square-foot layout has been convenient during the pandemic. The lot is 1.7 acres.

But now the children are grown, the second floor where they once lived is vacant, and the couple is planning to build a new home in Cape May.

The house’s first floor offers one-floor living, including the primary suite, sky-lit cathedral ceilings, tile floors, natural-finish woodwork, flagstone patios, and views from every window.

Three other bedrooms are on the second floor.

Recent updates include the roof, siding, doors, kitchen, bath, second-floor carpet, and HVAC system.

The home is at the top of a winding driveway with perennial plantings, and the property is traversed by a stream.

There is a two-bay garage and flexible studio space that could accommodate a gym.

The house is minutes from the Darlington Trail, Tyler Arboretum, and Ridley Creek State Park, but also Media’s State Street and the Promenade at Granite Run.

It is accessible to major highways, Great Valley, Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, and SEPTA’s Media/Elwyn Line.

The house is listed by Tony DeCicci of CG Realty for $689,000.
