Description

Welcome to 24 War Trophy Lane, a lovingly maintained home set on a beautifully landscaped nearly half-acre lot in the highly desirable Riddlewood community, part of the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District. A long, freshly sealed driveway guides you to a carport and side entrance, while the formal front entry leads into a sunlit living room featuring hardwood floors, fresh neutral paint, a coat closet, and a large picture window that frames serene views of mature landscaping and a colorful Japanese maple. The dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which offers warm wood cabinetry, a stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher (just 3 years old), and a propane-fueled GE gas stove installed in 2024. The entire main level is light and airy, thanks to an abundance of windows and a sliding glass door that opens onto a rear deck—a space to entertain or enjoy your morning coffee as you look out to a fenced backyard retreat. Down the hall, you'll find three bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring and calming neutral tones, along with a full bathroom with a large vanity and tub/shower combo. A hallway linen closet completes this level. The finished lower level is a standout feature, nearly doubling your living space. A spacious 22x19 great room is accented by custom built-ins with stacked stone detail, recessed lighting, soft carpeting, and neutral finishes. A full bathroom with a tub/shower on this level adds comfort and flexibility, whether you're entertaining, working from home, or hosting guests. Storage will never be a concern—this home offers two closets in the finished basement, a large utility/workshop room, a dedicated laundry room with an additional closet, and a bonus cedar closet perfect for storing seasonal items. Step outside and you’ll discover a suburban oasis. The deck overlooks a well-proportioned, fenced backyard with just the right amount of privacy, special plantings (including a beautiful Fringe Tree), and a large shed for all your outdoor tools. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated: Furnace and oil tank (2024), A/C condenser (2023), Hot water heater (2022), Leaf Filter gutter protection (2022), replacement windows and sliding door (2011), and whole-house insulation including attic (2023). Riddlewood is a close-knit community with a voluntary HOA and its own swim club. Enjoy easy access to shopping and dining at the Promenade at Granite Run, the energy of downtown Media Borough, and a quick commute from the nearby Elwyn train station. This home offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and neighborhood charm—ready for its next chapter with you.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
