Property Description

Welcome to the Small House. This stunning mid-century modern home was commissioned by ardent admirers of Frank Lloyd Wright, Benjamin & Rebecca Small and designed by prominent Philadelphia architect David Daniel Weitz of Thalhimer & Weitz. Nestled on a wooded corner lot in the charming community of Elkins Park, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a lovingly well-preserved mid-century modern gem. The brilliance of the home's design reveals itself across the seasons in numerous subtle ways from perfect morning and afternoon light indoors to framed views of the sunsets from the living room and roof deck with cooling shade covering the patio in summer. This home presents the possibility for one-level living and offers original details such as paneled walls, original hardware, tiles, custom fixtures, and a vintage leather wet bar.

With 3 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spread across a deceptively large 3,454 square feet, this home provides a gracious living and entertaining space. A large foyer with double coat closets opens into a dramatic living room with walls of windows and a fieldstone fireplace. Serving as the focal point of the living room, the fieldstone wall extends outside to border the flagstone patio, seamlessly tying the outdoor and indoor spaces together. The large flagstone patio can be accessed directly from this room. High ceilings and wide passages fill the home with spaciousness from the moment you enter.

The dining room can accommodate a large party comfortably for any occasion, with original built in display cabinets. The remodeled kitchen boasts sleek white cabinets, custom quartz countertops and smart technology appliances, including a WiFi-enabled cooktop and a combination convection microwave wall oven. The original curved banquet and custom breakfast nook table are framed by an art deco glass block wall that captures morning light perfectly. The main level also features a convenient powder room with art deco details and a full wet bar, enhancing the entertainment experience.

The luxury of a first-floor primary bedroom and bath with a vanity/dressing area, walk-in closet, and built-ins offers a private retreat. Upstairs, two additional large bedrooms, a full bath and a spacious walk-in cedar closet adjoin a small flight of stairs that lead to an enormous roof terrace which provides endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment.

The lower level encompasses a finished basement with an oversized laundry room, a pantry and space for additional storage. A large room under the master bedroom originally served as a fourth bedroom for a live-in nanny but could just as easily be a home office or gym. A full bathroom completes this lower level. Outside, a deck and a barbecue area offer opportunities for al fresco dining and relaxation. The home also features an oversized two-car garage with natural light, inside access to the kitchen, dedicated 20 amp electrical service and a full sized workbench with heating.

New 200 amp electrical service, new flat and pitched roofs, gutters, plumbing and numerous freshly planted trees complete the home.

This unique home is ideally located a short 16 minute walk from the Elkins Park train station, offering a swift 25-minute ride to Center City and direct service to 30th Street Station and the airport. Convenient access to major highways, including Route 309 and the PA Turnpike, enhances its connectivity. Enjoy the ease of walking to a variety of shops, restaurants, parks, and the local library. Don't miss the opportunity to make this mid-century modern gem your own!
