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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
