About This Home
As of August 2016Don't judge a book by its cover... As much as the historic exterior will charm you, the completely updated interior will astonish you! According to the Rose Valley Borough website, this home was originally constructed in 1870 to serve as housing for the local mill workers. In 1904, Will Price renovated the structures and combined two Mill Houses to create the spacious Guest House which resulted in the 2100 SF it is today. Completely renovated in 2013-2015, 74 W. Rose Valley Road is now a captivating and exquisite blend of Arts & Crafts history, with the modern charm of an open plan and clever design. Today, the home encompasses three bedrooms (including a master suite), 2.5 baths, a kitchen open to the great room, blending living room and dining room, an office, pantry/laundry room, full attic, a storage room, covered porch, deck, attached garage, and off street parking. Additional parking is available in the community lot. Each room showcases beautiful attributes - from stone fireplaces, to deep window sills, reclaimed hardwood floors, distinctive light fixtures, gourmet kitchen appliances, built-ins, and tile work? You have to visit this property to truly appreciate the attention to detail. Situated in the heart of the Rose Valley Borough, the home is convenient to community paths, theater, Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, pool, public transit, highways, and airport. This home was recently featured on the Rose Valley Centennial Foundation's "Once in a Lifetime Tour" and is on the National Historic Register.
