Description

Welcome to 37 Carriage Drive—a unique opportunity to own a versatile and well-loved home in one of Delaware County’s most sought-after communities. Perfectly situated in Middletown Township and within the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, this expanded split-level residence offers a rare combination of space, potential, and an unbeatable location directly across from the scenic Tyler Arboretum and the sprawling woodlands of Ridley Creek State Park. Crafted by Arters Builders, this classic home retains its traditional charm while offering expanded living options that suit a wide range of lifestyles. At the heart of the home, the main level features a bright living room and a formal dining room with hardwood floors, while the adjacent kitchen offers plenty of potential for a custom renovation to make it your own. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms with hardwood flooring and two full bathrooms, ready to be reimagined with your personal touch. On the lower level, a cozy den with a brick fireplace provides the perfect spot for movie nights or quiet afternoons, with easy access to the laundry area, powder room, utility room, and an oversized one-car garage. What truly sets this home apart, however, is the thoughtfully designed in-law suite—ideal for multigenerational living, a private guest retreat, or even a home-based office or studio. This space features its own private entrance, balcony, and a dramatic loft that overlooks the vaulted family room addition, which is brimming with natural light and anchored by soaring ceilings. Whether used for extended family, creative work, or entertainment, this flexible addition offers valuable living space not typically found in traditional split-level homes. Recent upgrades provide a strong foundation for future enhancements: a newer roof, newer heater and water heater, newer double-wall oil tank, Andersen replacement windows with light-blocking technology, and updated vinyl siding that replaced the original asbestos exterior. Two-zone central air ensures comfort throughout both the main residence and the in-law suite. Outside, the home sits on a generous lot in a peaceful, established neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a real sense of community. From here, you’re minutes from charming downtown Media with its shops, dining, and year-round events—and just a short drive to Center City Philadelphia. At 37 Carriage Drive, you’ll find a home full of potential, with room to grow and a location that truly can’t be beat. Bring your vision and make this house your next chapter.

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.
