Property Description
Oh, the charm of 101-103 W. Rose Valley Road! There are two buildings on this property, as one deed. 101 W Rose Valley Road is an historic 3-bedroom Stone Mill House which was transformed by William Price into a craftsman home after being built for the mill workers in the early 1900's. According to an unidentified article, probably written c.1904, they have been turned into quaint and picturesque little homes for the artisans and their families. As the years, and decades, and centuries have passed, this particular home has emerged as the showcase. Built into a ridge, 101 W. Rose Valley Road was designed to appear as though it grew up directly from the ground, an idea which Price endorsed. Price thought houses should nestle among the trees and fields, not ramp upon the highways.101 W Rose Valley road starts at the portico under which sit two hand crafted benches framing the front door. To the right as you enter, is a full length Living Room with Mercer tiles surrounding the fireplace, brought from the Mercer tile factory; and deep set windows with views of the terraced gardens above. To the left, the original beams still hang, leading you from this delightful room to the Kitchen. The Kitchen has been totally updated: Granite counters, modern appliances, tiled flooring and a pressed metal backsplash are featured. Wander through the arched door and you'll find the Breakfast Room, surrounded by light from the skylights and abundant windows. Across the hall is a half bath, laundry, and a large Office/Family Room that has access to the Back Yard. Upstairs, the Primary suite includes a gently created ensuite Bath with marble floor and surround shower, two more bedrooms and another creative and custom Hall Bathroom with Tub Shower. There is access to a terraced Patio from the 3rd bedroom. These terraces are raised on walls & paths of blue & fieldstone have hand laid steps that lead to the land above. Drifts of plantings provide seasonal color & there are many native ferns through out. The effect is of a velvety, green pocket that is surprisingly low maintenance. 103 W. Rose Valley is a detached Garage and Apartment building. The Garage is modest, and used for storage. The Apartment has a Living Room open to a Modern Kitchen on the 1st floor. A Family room, Bedroom and Full bath are on the 2nd floor. There is access to a Patio off the Stairs to the second floor. It was rented. This is being completely renovated. The Borough of Rose Valley owns and maintains the parking lot across the street for you and your guests. Blue Ribbon Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. A stone's throw from the Saul Wildlife Sanctuary, Hedgerow Theater (the oldest repertory theater in the country), Media's renowned restaurants and shops, and both the Moylan-Rose Valley and the Wallingford train stations, this historic Artisan's Mill house offers the charm of yesteryear with the necessities of today.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
