Historic Rose Valley Borough Twin Home with Timeless Character and Modern Comforts - This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home spans over 2112 square feet Situated in the historic core of the desirable Rose Valley borough, this attached home offers both old-world character in addition to beautifully and sustainably renewed living spaces. Maintaining the cozy European Lodge feel, this home has been tastefully renovated in the spirit of the Arts & Crafts philosophy, with a hint of Quaker simplicity, as well as a more modern design aesthetic in the bathrooms and kitchen to appeal to today's discerning homebuyer. Originally constructed in the mid 1800's as tenement housing for workers of the nearby mill, in 1901, William Price - architect and Rose Valley's founder, renovated the complex into three single family dwellings. This "Guest House" provided lodging for traveling artists during the early part of the 20th century at a time when Rose Valley was ensconced in the Arts & Crafts movement. This home boasts exposed wood beams, 21" thick stone walls, beautifully curved window casings, fluted Italian tiles, hardwood floors, and Mercer tile fireplaces. The main floor layout has a combined lounge and dining area open to the Kitchen, as well as offering a convenient Powder Room, Utility Room, and provides easy access to a back patio and garden. The kitchen features Amish-made shaker inset cabinetry, porcelain countertops, farm sink with brass gooseneck faucet, integrated wine fridge, bistro lighting, hickory floors with radiant heat, a generous adjustable pantry, and a modern laundry area set by exposed brick as well as energy efficient windows throughout. On the second floor, you'll find a Living Room featuring built-in bookcases; a Sun Porch with reclaimed French Terra Cotta tile and radiant heat; the spacious Main Bedroom with fireplace; and an updated bathroom with large trough sink and a claw foot tub with subway tile.
