Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a finely crafted custom mid-century modern gem designed by architect Walter Harvey Dunning. Dunning focused his practice on Living Architecture, a design philosophy seeking to integrate architecture with nature and celebrate ecologically responsible design. This stunning home is thoughtfully sited within the landscape and is ideal for those who appreciate Living Architecture with a passive solar design. House For a Low Site, as named by the architect, is a marvel of Chester County modern architecture. Rarely will one find a home built with such attention to high quality details and materials, including heartwood redwood trim, cedar siding, red oak and Philadelphia Travertine flooring, and Anderson windows. The home sits on 2+ acres with gorgeous view of fields and mountains. The sun rises directly in front of the house, filling the living spaces with a golden glow. The passive solar design of the home uses eaves to block the afternoon sun while inviting a flood of daylight throughout the home. The dark siding is strategically placed to be shaded in the summer and accessible to the warming of the sun in the winter. During warmer months, an incredible cross breeze and the adjoining breezeway cool the home. In colder months, the top-of-the-line Harman Oakwood wood burning stove is capable of heating the entire home. Two additional brick hearths and multiple built-ins including cabinetry, shelving and seating are unique details that make the home truly one-of-a-kind. The home is easily divisible by levels into two separate living quarters for potential in-law quarters, airbnb, or home business. Additional home upgrades include a 3 year old CertainTeed architectural shingle roof and skylights, new Kenmore Elite kitchen appliances, Nest Smart Thermostat, exterior french drain system, and high-end dimmable LED lighting throughout the home. The large outdoor covered area lends itself to outdoor entertaining in the summer and is perfect for shielding the cars from the weather in the winter. Home is protected by a whole house security system, including motion detectors and a fire alarm monitoring system. Stunning and mature low-maintenance landscaping includes plantings that provide visual interest in all seasons. There has been no use of herbicide, pesticide, or fertilizer on the property. The home is surrounded by equine farms, with several organic and biodynamic farms just down the road. The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with walking access to 35 miles of trails in the beautiful 7,916-acre French Creek State Park, along with a short drive to two lakes. The historical yet hip village of Saint Peter's Village is just minutes away, with an award-winning bakery, a favorite lunch spot for locals and breathtaking views of the granite boulder filled French Creek. The scenic and quaint Saint Peters Village also includes a Restaurant/Bar/Inn with live entertainment, blacksmith shop, glassblowing studio, woodworker, ice cream parlor, antique store, vintage pinball arcade, yoga studio, and holistic shops. Less than one hour to Philadelphia. Highly-rated Owen J. Roberts School District. Original blueprints included.
