Welcome to Rose Hedge! This signature Rose Valley home was originally built in 1840 and was re-designed in 1902 in Italianate style by Walter Price, brother of William Price, a well-known American architect who spear-headed the Rose Valley Arts and Crafts movement. It is registered on the National Register of Historic Places (though no approvals are needed for renovations) and boasts unique architectural details as well as convenient modern updates. Fittingly, you will be warmly welcomed by a glorious rose hedge as you approach this gracious home off Prices Lane. Set on three quarters of an acre, you will appreciate the large open lawn on your left as you walk through the portico and approach the large, partially covered brick patio, pergola, and welcoming front door, which is flanked by a pair of stained-glass windows designed for Rose Hedge by the renown Nicola D’Ascenzo, a stunning Mahogany ceiling and new Terracotta roof. Upon entering the foyer, you will find the formal living room on your left, which has remarkable thick maple flooring, custom built-ins, and an abundance of natural sunlight from the huge twelve over twelve pane windows. The unsurpassed attention to detail found in this home is exemplified by the magnificent wood burning fireplace, surrounded by a remarkable 1795 Pennsylvania Gouge carved mantel. Just across the foyer, the spacious formal dining room boasts an artistically designed white pine floor, custom built-ins and an eye-catching archway with windows and bench seating. Just off the dining room, the walk-through pantry offers ample storage, laundry, access to the back staircase and leads to the modern kitchen full of attractive cherry cabinetry, a completely charming original cabinet that has been thoughtfully integrated, Mercer tile backsplash, center island and cheerful breakfast area with a large bay window overlooking the absolutely fabulous walled brick courtyard. This enchanting outdoor oasis is the perfect setting for gracious outdoor entertaining and features lush, raised gardens and a tiered stone fountain which demands attention as it sits majestically atop the stately flagstone terrace. The first floor is complete with an adorable and perfectly tucked away powder room with William Morris wall covering, and a cozy den with another large bay window, and convenient outdoor access to the courtyard as well as the portico, allowing for seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. The second floor has two well-appointed bedrooms and a storybook, walk-out balcony overlooking the front lawn and canopy of mature trees. The first bedroom was the original main bedroom, and mirrors the lovely living room below with 5 large windows, wide window seat, as well as three closets. The Main bedroom has direct access to the hall bath through a spacious dressing room outfitted with a multitude of built-in shelving and hanging space, and features the visually pleasing archway and window bench which is also found in the dining room below. The third floor boasts two additional well-sized bedrooms, one of which is en-suite also with hall access. Surrounded by natural beauty, this warm and inviting home's location in the heart of Rose Valley (across from Rose Valley Museum at Thunderbird Lodge) offers access to endless walking trails and is easily accessible to the RV Pool and Tennis Club, Moylan/RV train station, the town of Media and offers easy access to i95, 476 and the Philadelphia Airport. The location in award winning Wallingford Swarthmore School District, incredible craftsmanship and noteworthy design throughout coupled with the many modern updates makes Rose Hedge a truly exceptional home not to be missed.
