Property Description
This unique mid century modern home, designed in 1955 by a premier Philadelphia architectural firm, offers expansive one story living on a spectacular 1.98 acre property in a quiet location in Penn Valley. The home offers high ceilings and abundant windows that enhance the open living spaces as well as private bedroom areas, each with en suite baths. A separate wing has been used as office space, but could serve beautifully as a private in law suite. The main living space of the home is built around a central courtyard that includes a flagstone patio, pool and pool house. The walls of the house that face this inner sanctum feature large windows allowing light to flood the house and providing beautiful views. There are also multiple courtyards and inner gardens that provide outside beauty and light to enhance rooms, without sacrificing privacy as the views don't face the outer property. Soaring ceilings with wooden beams have been carefully designed to provide an open concept with architectural interest. The home was thoughtfully designed and offers interesting architectural details at every turn. Approach the front door along a winding flagstone walkway to the double front doors and a wall of windows. The entrance area is an atrium surrounded by water fountains and floor to ceiling windows with views of both the rolling front yard and the interior courtyard and pool. To the right is the living room, to the left is the family room and the rest of the living area. Down the hall to the right is a master suite with gas fireplace, two large en-suite bathrooms, and two walk in closets. The master bedroom windows face the pool and interior courtyard. The family room features a large open gas fireplace, built in bookshelves and opens to the dining room and sunken sitting area. The eat in kitchen, laundry room, and 3 additional bedrooms with en suite baths complete this central section of the home. The home includes 3 powder rooms and the pool house also has bathroom facilities. There is a wing of the house with three large rooms and 1.5 baths that have been used as offices (with Township approval). This wing has a separate entrance and is located at the end of a hallway that connects to the main house, but allows this space to be private. The rooms all have floor to ceiling windows and high, vaulted ceilings. The basement includes plenty of storage space. There is a 2 car attached garage and a detached storage shed. Easy commute to center city. Lower Merion Schools. Bring your creativity-this home offers so much potential to a new owner!
