The Castle on Cloverdale Avenue. Such interesting architecture on the exterior! The Castle on Cloverdale was built in 1902. It is located on .35 acres in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. I would definitely get rid of the tile and hopefully there are hardwood floors underneath. Love the porch on this house! There are some original hardwood floors, crown molding and arched entryways. The home has updated electric. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,678 square feet. $300,000 New price: $285,000
