Tucked deep in the forested hills of Rose Valley, this mid-century modern masterpiece—designed by acclaimed Philadelphia architect Robert McElroy—offers a seamless fusion of architecture and nature. Walls of glass invite the outdoors in, framing panoramic views of Ridley Creek and the surrounding woodland, giving the feeling of living in a luxury treehouse. Set privately at the end of a cul-de-sac, a winding forest path leads you to a breathtaking entryway. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, curated high-end lighting, original and custom fireplaces, and warm wood floors throughout. The expansive wraparound decks extend from nearly every major room, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The gourmet kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a Viking range, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit dining island with seating for four—all overlooking a custom bird bath feature. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and curbless rain shower. Two additional bedrooms—including a junior suite with built-ins—and multiple offices offer flexibility for work or guests. Additional highlights include radiant floor heating, updated bathrooms, a spacious mudroom with built-ins, a whole-house generator, and a new AC system installed in 2023. Located in the coveted Wallingford-Swarthmore School District and minutes from the Media-Wawa train station and downtown Media, this home delivers exceptional design, privacy, and convenience.
