Property Description

Designed by renowned architect, Arthur B. White, this Mid-century Modern classic is an architectural gem. It is not simply an art piece but a truly livable, highly refined 4 bedroom, 2 bath home set on nearly an acre on one of Rydal's most exquisite streets. From its orientation to the sun to the steel structure to the many custom built-ins to the soft palette of natural wood and stone punctuated by flashes of vibrant colors, this home lives both efficiently and harmonically. Vast expanses of glass bring the beautiful, rolling lawn and gardens studded with mature trees into every room. Lovingly restored and updated by its architect owner, the home features a true cook's kitchen with a radiant heated stone floor, Italian cabinetry, Miele appliances, a Sub Zero refrigerator and lovely views through 24 feet of windows. From the kitchen head out to the sunny deck with grilling, dining and lounging areas. Head into the main living area combining casual and formal dining and a large living room with new hardwood floors, floor to ceiling windows, built-ins and a stone fireplace. This open plan, reminiscent of Mad Men, is a prime example of Arthur White's genius - swapping the boxy formality of older homes for an open, flowing casualness that fits today's lifestyle. A bright hallway, featuring more than 25 feet of built-in cabinetry, provides access to the main floor's 3 bedrooms. Bedrooms 1 and 2 can be combined or re-tasked by opening or closing the ingenious folding wall and feature southern exposure glass walls, ample built-ins and separate closets. The Main floor's 3rd bedroom is en-suite with its own bath, closets and built-in cabinetry, featuring desk, drawers and closets. From the hall, travel down to the large, stunning Master bedroom which is magically both full of windows and exceptionally private as it occupies a special place on the land. Built-ins? Of course, and access both to the outside and to the laundry room. With Radiant heat, Central Air and all new windows, siding, roofing, boiler and water heater, flooring, carpet and more this home is full of improvements but the genius that went into its original design is its true essence which can only be experienced by living in it - preferably lounging by a crackling fire and enjoying a dry martini ala Don Draper. 1 year HSA Home Warranty included for you! Award winning Abington Schools, close to shopping, dining, parks and major highways.
