The Minshall-Green House
Media, Pennsylvania | $1,375,000
The Minshall–Green house is a remarkable property, tucked away from the crowds yet convenient to so many things.

From the sidewalk, the house is perfectly sited on the expansive grounds, one of the larger lots in the neighborhood. The staircase is a beautiful focal point (with a coat closet underneath), as is the corner wood burning fireplace. The original woods floors are in excellent condition, and there are multiple windows that provide great views. There is a large four-season sunroom along the entire southern side of the living room, with direct access to the front and rear yards. In just 15-20 minutes, one can get to the Philadelphia International Airport or Newtown Square with shops & restaurants.
