About This Home

As of December 2017

Amazing, light filled, 3 bedroom, mid-century modern with a stunning renovation. This classic 1950 modern home, built with a wall of floor to ceiling south facing windows, has a wonderful open feel, and a strong connection to outdoors. The spectacular fully renovated kitchen is open to the living/dining space with views continuing out to the large patio beyond. The completely new bathrooms are well executed, and also blend in with the homes timeless modern feel. It is such a rare opportunity to move right into such an incredible designer owned home. Everything has already been done, new roof, systems, windows and is ready to just move in and enjoy. Much care was given to enhance the original details such as the beautiful modern staircase. The upstairs large master bedroom is spectacular with its vaulted ceiling and skylight. A second bedroom completes the upper floor, and an additional large main floor bedroom, with a direct connection to the hall bath, could also be used as a master for one floor living. This home is one of the few truly exceptional examples of modern homes in this region. Every detail was carefully considered in the original design including the alignment of the window wall to be exactly south facing. It is on a quiet small street that includes home by Louis Kahn and Norman Rice. It is close to the city of Philadelphia and is located within walking distance to many houses of worship, public transportation, and several train stations. Just minutes from the Creekside Co-Op and restaurants in Elkins Park, Glenside and Jenkintown.
