Versatile redevelopment opportunity in Edgmont Township. This former church property sits on a prominent 3+ acre corner lot at the intersection of Middletown Road (PA-352) and Sycamore Mill Road, offering a rare blend of visibility, privacy, and access to nature in a sought-after area of Delaware County. Zoned R-1 Residential, the property is permitted by right for conversion to residential uses, bed and breakfast, accessory dwelling unit, or continued religious, cultural, and institutional uses, including functions, schooling, retreats, and community events. The existing building footprint provides a solid foundation for adaptive reuse. Environmental and engineering work has already been completed. The property is also served by public water and on-site septic. Extensive septic testing has been completed, with multiple perc test approved locations — enhancing flexibility for future possibilities. Access currently exists from Middletown Road, but the lot also allows for private access from Sycamore Mill Road, which may be preferable for residential or lower-traffic uses. The property is directly attached to Ridley Creek State Park, offering unparalleled access to trails, woodland, and open space—ideal for uses centered around wellness, retreat, education, or recreation. Strategically positioned caddy-corner from Edgmont’s C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District, which includes La Porta Restaurant, Country Deli, and other neighborhood-scale businesses, the site benefits from a mixed-use context while remaining within a primarily residential zoning designation. Located just minutes from Media Borough, West Chester, and major commuter routes, 1223 Middletown Road offers a rare combination of historic charm and functional space.Perfect for an owner-user seeking a creative live/work concept, this property presents a compelling canvas for transformation.
