About this home
Welcome to 890 Paxon Hollow Road — a storybook cottage retreat where timeless charm, vintage character, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony. Ideally situated between Broomall and the vibrant heart of Media, this enchanting property feels as though it has been lifted from the pages of a classic fairytale. Built in 1940 and lovingly maintained through the years, this captivating two-story cottage and detached guest house offers a rare opportunity to own a home rich in warmth, personality, and charm. Nestled alongside picturesque Trout Run, a tranquil tributary of Crum Creek, the setting is nothing short of magical. Mature trees, soothing sounds of flowing water, and lush surroundings create a peaceful backdrop that feels worlds away from the everyday. Adding to the property's appeal is a delightful, detached guest cottage, added in 1995. Thoughtfully designed with a bedroom, office, cozy sitting area, full bath, faux wood flooring, instant hot water, and its own heating and cooling system, this versatile space is ideal as a private guest suite, inspiring artist's studio, home office, wellness retreat, or business headquarters. Approaching the main home, guests are welcomed either by a charming paver walkway leading to the Trex deck entrance or by a stone paver picturesque stairway ascending to the original front door. Stepping inside, you'll immediately appreciate the home's authentic character. The original front door opens to reveal a warm and inviting interior where craftsmanship from a bygone era remains beautifully preserved. The living room is the heart of the home, anchored by a stunning wood-burning fireplace that invites cozy evenings by the fire. Exposed ceiling beams, original hardwood floors, and two charming built-in closets with their original hardware create a space filled with warmth, texture, and historic appeal. Every detail tells a story and contributes to the home's undeniable cottage character.
Flowing from the living room, the dining room offers a welcoming space for gatherings both large and small. Sunlight streams through the windows while easy access to the rear deck allows indoor and outdoor entertaining to blend seamlessly. From here, you'll step into the quaint galley kitchen, where granite countertops, abundant natural light, and cottage-inspired charm create a bright and cheerful workspace that feels both intimate and inviting. Beyond the kitchen, a classic cottage-style door leads to a hidden staircase descending to the lower level, where you'll find the laundry area, utility space, and convenient walk-out access to the backyard. The main level also features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Rich hardwood floors continue throughout, adding warmth and continuity to the living spaces. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a half bath provide flexible accommodations. The primary bedroom is especially charming, featuring dual built-in closets and numerous windows that fill the room with natural light. The fourth bedroom offers a generous living area and storage with an oversized closet and additional hidden storage space. Throughout the home, thoughtful architectural details, original features, and cozy gathering spaces create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and unforgettable. Whether you're curling up by the fireplace, entertaining on the deck, working from the cottage, or enjoying the peaceful surroundings, every corner of this property invites you to slow down and savor cottage living.
Outside, the grounds offer endless opportunities to garden, relax, and connect with nature. With its idyllic setting, vintage character, and flexible living spaces, 890 Paxon Hollow Road is more than a home—it's a place where cherished memories are waiting to be made....
