Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of one of Delaware County’s most beloved communities, 497 Vernon Street in Media, PA is a classic Cape Cod twin with a story to tell. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over time, offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience—all within the highly regarded Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Step inside to find a comfortable living room with a practical layout—equally suited for relaxed nights in or hosting friends. The updated eat-in kitchen features ample cabinetry, modern appliances, and the kind of cozy charm that makes everyday meals feel special. Just beyond, a flexible bonus room offers the perfect space for a formal dining area, home office, or occasional guest room. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms share an updated hall bath, and the unfinished basement provides excellent storage along with a half bathroom and laundry area—ideal for utility, projects, or future finishing. This home is part of a close-knit, walkable borough with something for everyone. Media—affectionately known as Everybody’s Hometown—offers a vibrant downtown, weekly seasonal events like Dining Under the Stars, and a host of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants along nearby State Street. Whether you’re catching live music, browsing the local farmer’s market, or dining alfresco on a summer evening, life here moves at just the right pace. Commuters will appreciate being just half a mile from SEPTA Regional Rail into Center City Philadelphia, 15 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, and only 25 minutes to Wilmington, Delaware—making this home a true hub for work and travel alike. And when it’s time to unwind at home, you'll appreciate details that are often hard to find in a walk-to-town location: a large, fully fenced side yard—perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or play—and a private rear parking area that easily fits three cars off-street. With major updates already completed, including a new roof in 2023 and central HVAC system installed in 2020, 497 Vernon Street is move-in ready and waiting to welcome its next chapter. Come see why this home—and this town—captures hearts and feels like home from the moment you arrive.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
