153 W Rose Valley Rd, Rose Valley, PA 19086

There was a man who learned a trade while in the service during WW2, who dreamed of building his own home from scratch. He found a house plan (provided in "other" w/the disclosures) in a book at the news stand, & came across a picture that he knew would make an amazing home for his family. So , he bought some land (1.044 acres) in 1949 in Rose Valley, and set about to actively take part in building it on this corner lot starting in 1950, w/the help of many great contractors and stone masons to assist him. He probably never realized how amazing it was to purchase & create a home from scratch in such a prestigious and well-acclaimed Borough that he was going to be part of! Rose Valley is a well kept secret, named as one of" Delco's most sought-after neighborhoods" w/ an amazing community of home owners along with historical spots like The Hedgerow Theater, the Old Mill . Also close by is Spring Haven Golf Club and a swim & tennis club. The train station is so convenient (25 minutes to Philly), and getting to the airport & center city is quite convenient as well. His trade was cement contracting, laying runways for airports that had been damaged after the war. So.. a better foundation you won't find. The garage floor is actually 12" thick, a precaution when the air raid sirens would sound. What an amazing tract.. and landscaped so nicely. This stone & stucco home, along with the stand alone 2-car garage w/loft & the extra large storage building w/a ramp on one side & a garage do
