238 Fox Road, Media, PAVideo Tour of 238 Fox Road, Media, PA.
Welcome to 238 Fox Rd in Media, PA-an exquisite blend of history and modern comfort. Known as The Fox Cottage, this home has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past five years, becoming a private oasis that marries historical charm with contemporary amenities. Steeped in a rich legacy, this residence was originally designed and constructed in 1912 by the Walton Brothers for Lou and Anna Remont, prominent figures in the vibrant arts community founded by William Lightfoot Price. Mrs. Remont, a celebrated Soprano, played a key role in establishing the Rose Valley Chorus. The home's captivating history is well-preserved, with photographs and documents available at the nearby Rose Valley Museum. Nestled within the prestigious Rose Tree Media School District, this property offers an enviable location. It's just minutes away from downtown restaurants, shopping, and three SEPTA stations with easy access to Philadelphia, as well as major highways including I-476, I-95, and Rt 1. The residence is set on a vast, private lot with a shared driveway, leading to a newly installed chain-link gate that welcomes you into a serene, wooded retreat. The owners have cleared an acre of brush to create a versatile fenced yard, complete with endless possibilities, a newly paved driveway, and a remodeled garage currently serving as a dedicated workspace. The interior is equally impressive, beginning with a charming glass vestibule and a beautiful arbor walkway adorned with trumpet vine. Inside, the newly remodeled kitchen features refinished original hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and butcher block counters. The first floor also includes a formal dining room, living room, half bath, and a cozy hearth room, all reflecting a harmonious blend of fresh design and original details. The second floor, accessed by two separate staircases, has been reimagined to include a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite full bathroom. The refinished balcony offers stunning views of the grounds, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a good book. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete this floor. A third staircase leads to a private fourth bedroom. Recent updates include a custom kitchen remodel (featured in Philadelphia Magazine), new power lines to the house, an upgraded electrical panel (from 100-amp to 200-amp service), refurbished and painted original doors and windows, new gutters and downspouts with a lifetime warranty, refinished original cedar siding, and fresh exterior paint on the house, including windows and storms. Experience a Main Line-like atmosphere in the charming town of Media, PA. This home is more than just a residence; it's a lifestyle. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of history with all the modern amenities you desire. Come and experience the unique blend of history and modernity at The Fox Cottage.
