Property Description
The quintessential "Madmen" house! Don Draper would love this place! Here you'll find one level living at its best! This stylish and elegant Wissahickon Schist stone Ranchette constructed in 1956 still has all the glamour and finesse of its time. Perfectly perched across from the Whitemarsh Country Club, the home faces east with expansive views of the golf course from all front-facing windows. A lavish 7x15 ft. bowed window in the living room washes the room with morning light and captures a picturesque view of the 11th hole. Terrazzo floors and steps with brass inlay reflecting the precise design of the wrought-iron railings, embrace the sunken living room with its beautiful hardwood flooring and Carrera marble fireplace. A wall of west-facing windows and double-doors open up to a beautiful and expansive bluestone terrace with a stone dual grill; ideal for your evening martini or dining alfresco. A spacious, formal dining room with wood floors leads to a cozy breakfast room and handsome kitchen with slate floors and Corian counter tops. Unwrapped and original, the bathrooms with white tile, vintage fixtures and vanities will delight you. The Master bedroom has a posh bowed window that overlooks the rear terrace and is complete with a walk through closet and private bathroom. Every room has discerning elements; marble window sills, original modern doors with brass handles, built-in speaker system, radiant heat and ample storage space.The basement level leads to a two-car heated garage and features a finished room with a private entrance, fireplace, bookcases, wet bar and full bath making it ideal space for a media center, library or fitness room. Shaded by specimen trees, lovely gardens and a rolling lawn with stone walls, the exterior boasts copper gutters and a copper bay window roof with weathered patinas. A "chip-shot" from The Philadelphia Cricket Club, The Morris Arboretum, Chestnut Hill College, the Village of Chestnut Hill, the Wissahickon Trail and the PA turnpike, this property is an intriguing study of its era, a snapshot in time, and a great home for Mid-century enthusiasts!
