Nestled within an idyllic neighborhood, this mid-century marvel, created by Irwin Stein, stands as an iconic gem, boasting original installations that harken back to its timeless era. Offering between 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths alongside an additional half bath, this residence spans four meticulously finished levels. Nestled admist 1.2 acres of private surroundings with a large area for a playgound or outdoor enjoyment, the house seemlessly integrates with nature, is filled with natural light, and most rooms open to the outside.
Approaching the entrance, one is greeted by wide stone stairs leading to a bespoke entry door, flanked by sleek glass panels. Upon stepping inside, a tiled transverse foyer offers a tantalizing glimpse of the living room's captivating rock garden. Ascending the impressive catwalk staircase, which appears to float amidst expansive glass windows, one is enveloped in natural light pouring in from the southern and western exposures.
The fireside combination living and dining room exudes warmth and elegance, while sliding doors seamlessly connect to a covered terrace, perfect for alfresco dining amidst lush greenery and a charming ornamental pond. Adjacent to the dining area lies a kitchen straight out of a Mid Century Modern design book, retaining its original wood cabinetry and exceptional functionality.
Ascending the dramatic stairs leads to a sprawling primary suite, illuminated by full glass walls and complemented by a cozy corner woodburning fireplace. The sleeping area is delineated by custom-made Walnut furnishings, leading to an open closet and built-in desk, before culminating in the primary bath. Sliding doors reveal a deck overlooking the picturesque pond and gardens below, with a circular stairway, sourced from Philadelphia's famed Shubert Theater, providing access to the upper lawn and pool area.
On the same level, three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a convenient laundry area cater to family and guests alike. Descending to the lower levels, one finds two distinct spaces, with the first serving as a potential fifth bedroom complete with a full bath and front exit. The second space, originally purposed as a recreational area, offers ample room for leisure activities or additional study and office space.
Located within the award-winning Lower Merion school district and just minutes from the city center, this residence transcends mere functionality, standing as a true work of art. A testament to architectural excellence, it epitomizes the mid-century aesthetic while offering unparalleled comfort and style. Viewing is available by appointment only.
