A one-bedroom, two-bathroom home and a matching studio at 157 Bortondale Road in a serene, rural Media setting recently hit the market.
Artist Greg Reitze built the home and studio in 2007 on a wooded lot overlooking a quiet valley. Each property spans 1,568 square feet.
“I wanted to build something that would last,” he said. “My last hurrah, if you will.”
Reitze studied printmaking and sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and spent the following 16 years designing sets for video production and other businesses. However, a back injury he suffered in 2023 is now forcing him to move.
The home features three fireplaces, radiant heat floors, and a stunning three-story great room with a cupola.
The bedroom is above the living room on a loft, with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath. The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances.
There is plenty of room for parking, both in a garage under the primary bedroom and on the lot itself.
The house is in the Rose Tree-Media School District.
