About This Home
As of November 2013With a refined, unique & contemporary design that blends harmoniously with its natural environment, this Japanese-inspired residence is one of the Main Line's most distinctive homes. Its mix of wood & glass creates a simple yet sophisticated feel with exceptional natural light throughout. The step-down great room w/vaulted ceiling is intimate yet spectacular w/access to a veranda on 3 sides. Overlooking the great room is cozy den/sitting area w/fireplace. A well-designed, eat-in chef's kitchen has top-grade finishes, appliances & fixtures with an integrated formal dining area that opens to a screened deck. Private quarters are equally appealing, & the main suite accesses 2 additional updated baths and dressing room/office. The walkout lower level with its many windows is yet another place to relax, enjoy the large office/gym or the pool & spectacular gardens. An ode to the simplicity & serenity of Asian design, yet more than accommodating to those seeking a home for entertaining & with every modern comfort.
