Originally built in 1840 and then subsequently renovated in 1905 by the renowned architect, William Lightfoot Price, the current owner has continued the tradition of further improving the home with tremendous care and thought. This Manor-like home has many tremendous features including 9.5' ceilings, enormous rooms, period light fixtures and architectural details in every room! It also boasts updated wiring, recessed lighting, a new energy efficient boiler, central air in the majority of the home, brand new stainless steel kitchen appliances and a newly renovated basement. The large family room and fabulous 3rd floor with bedrooms, a bathroom and office, fabulous finished basement with multiple rooms including one with a pet bathing area - make this home stand out among its peers! In addition to the spectacular house and equally hard to find, is an acre-plus of level lawn just waiting for the next owner to create a magical garden or other special outdoor space. Already, there is a grotto-area with flagstones perfect for sitting around a fire pit admiring this grand home and a wonderful, large Trex Deck which overlooks the lovely property. The Deck is also attached to the family room which is ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining! Move-In ready and waiting to be coveted by the next owner - this home is located in the heart of Rose Valley minutes from downtown Media, SEPTA rail station, Swarthmore and major roads.
