Secluded from the world, this amazing compound envelops its owner and guests in a personal and private sanctuary. Originally part of a large 200+ acre estate, the rare 1872 “bridge barn” remains, providing a fantastic backdrop for magical terraced gardens. In 2003, a new residence designed by Ann Ledger was constructed within the ruins of the 2nd barn (the walls of which still surround the rear & side of the new house). Tucked down a private lane, most locals don’t even know this slice of heaven exists. Turn down a gravel driveway, and one discovers a lovely property that is perfectly scaled for its site. The main residence offers nearly 3,000 Sq. Ft. of artful living space. A 2-car garage is entered into on the lower level. Just inside, there is a spacious laundry room with a walk-in cedar closet. The stairs to the front entrance and main living area upstairs are just to the left. A spacious family room has a set of French doors to a lovely patio out front. This room also has a beverage closet with a fridge. The two guest bedrooms are tucked into the two corners of this level and there is a large full bathroom. Upstairs is a wonderfully designed open-plan living area that provides great sightlines between the rooms, yet distinct living areas. The living room has one of the two gas fireplaces and a series of arched windows overlooking the terraced gardens out front. The dining room has a wall of windows and a set of French doors to a Juliet balcony that enjoys vistas of the ruins of the 2nd barn. The large kitchen has a central island, two Bosch dishwashers and a Bosch French door refrigerator. A professional GE Monogram 36” gas range is anchored by a wall of cabinets and a built-in microwave/convection oven and warming drawer. A large workstation is tucked on the wall between the living & dining rooms. The upstairs family room has the 2nd gas fireplace and another set of French doors to access the front gardens. Just off this space is the three-season sunroom (with windows or screens) with a ceiling fan. There is access to the rear patio within the ruins and the rear yard, or the front yard. The entire A/C system was replaced in 2024. Now, let’s talk about that bridge barn! Four stories tall, this amazing space offers the future owner many options. The ground floor retains the original horse & cattle stalls! The 2nd floor is accessed from the side yard and is currently 2,700 sq. ft. of unfinished storage space. The last bay on this level is a true surprise, soaring three stories tall inside! The 3rd level is accessed from the original front entrance and contains a completely separate 1,650 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment. There are a total of six rooms in the apartment, including a fully renovated kitchen and a separate laundry room. While the property is not zoned multi-family, this space provides significant options to the future Owners to use for extended family to visit for longer periods of time or possibly for in-laws or kids. One could also use this space for a very comprehensive “non-impact” home office space. Rose Valley zoning allows for professional offices or studios for the personal use of a physician, attorney, dentist, accountant, architect, engineer, musician, psychologist or similar profession as a Special Exception, with Zoning Board approval. Check the Rose Valley Borough Zoning Code for permitted uses and restrictions. A new high-efficiency HVA/C system was installed for the apartment in 2023. There are many specimen plants that provide four seasons of interest outdoors. Terraces and hidden stone staircases connect all the spaces and provide visual interest at every turn. Downtown Media is just a couple miles away and in less than 15 minutes one can reach the airport. Access to downtown Philadelphia via the SEPTA line is just a couple miles away. Hidden from the world, yet so convenient to everything! Come discover 2 Todmorden Lane and you too will fall in love with this magical place!

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 door on the other for taking out mechanicals for lawn mowing & such shows how he thought of everything. When it came to the house, he planned for & built it with LOTS of storage rooms & closets--quite unusual for that time of the century, including 2 cedar closets.! The total finished square footage is over 3300 sq ft. There are 2 bedrooms , a hall bath, a primary bath w/shower & sink, a study/den/office/ 3rd BR (you decide) on the 1st floor. Both baths are ceramic-tiled. Upstairs are 2 more BR's,(one of which has attic storage access doors, a bonus room, storage rooms (one that leads to more attic space) another cedar closet & a joined ceramic-tiled full bath. When you enter through the front door, the hallway, w/coat closet leads to the study, complete w/ hand done parquet flooring & handmade shelving. The living room to the left comes complete w/a stone FP (just cleaned & checked in March/2026), and lots of windows for natural light to stream in. Both the LR & the large DR were accented by gorgeous "pegged" flooring! The owner & his family always used the back door to enter this home from the car. A really pretty stone pathway runs from the driveway that can accommodate up to 12 cars, past the garage and right into the bright, updated eat-in kitchen, which boasts cherry cabinetry, Corian counter tops and shiny white appliances. A few nice features are the lazy susan, a pull out cutting board, stainless sink and drainboard, as well as a full pantry. Wait till you get a load of the lower level! Ahh-mazingly spacious! The unfinished area ..and the finished room, which includes a pool table & all the apparatus ,is huge! There is a utility room, complete with the hot water heater, the furnace & the BRAND NEW( 3/26 ) standup oil tank (see Ferguson & McCann info in "other w/disclosures). The $30,000 roof and gutters were installed 11/23. Central Air too! The brick chimney was just relined a few weeks ago. There is no problem with keeping busy in this area. Besides what RV has to offer, nearby Media shows off lots of shops & dining experiences of all kinds, live entertainment, street fairs and' Dining Under the Stars' on Wednesday's! The Blue Route is easily accessed. The sewer lateral camera test was just completed & it passed! The executrix is offering a FREE HOME WARRANTY to the new owners, who will have lots of ideas of their own to enhance this home. just like the original sellers did in the 1950's. Make this suburban oasis yours to cherish!
