This spectacular stone, glass, and steel modern home designed by George Daub, internationally recognized in the seminal 1932 MOMA architecture exhibition, is available after a careful restoration. The architectural treasure is a true example of inside/outside living in a wooded paradise. The extraordinary setting of the glass box home, angled for optimal light, incorporates serene views from the walls of windows onto the 1.3-acre property. This significant early modern home has a remarkable feeling of integrity, with the preservation of original details to a level rarely seen. The original kitchen and baths remain in genuinely remarkable vintage condition. Details such as the original Brazilian rosewood cabinets in the kitchen, dramatic stone fireplace, and original cabinetry throughout enhance this architectural gem. It is rare for a home to have so many original details intact. A stone wall draws you into the entry, dramatically cutting through a glass wall. As you head up the stairs, you begin to sense the glorious open living room dining room. The walls of windows in the space bring dappled light filtering in from different angles throughout the day. The balcony adjoining the living room and kitchen overlooks the private and magical woodland retreat behind the home. Views from the eat-in kitchen are stunning in every season. Original built-in wood cabinetry and a long wall of closets enhance the primary bedroom. The main floor has an additional TV sitting area, an office, another full bath, and 2 large additional bedrooms. There is a large living area on the ground level with beautiful original wood paneling and stunning views into the backyard. This area could easily be divided into a large office or bedroom with enough room for an open family room area. The ground level has multiple doors leading to the rear wooded sanctuary behind the home. The landscaping was designed with a naturalistic look requiring low maintenance. You will feel far away in your private woods when sitting around the fire pit surrounded by large boulders and stately trees. Almost every surface inside the home has been recently restored, including new floors throughout. There has been a complete landscape redesign, including a commissioned sculpture, new driveway, tree removal, and new plantings. The home has dual/ac zones, a recent roof, and many upgraded Pella windows. Many items can be included with an acceptable offer: the sofa designed for the living room by the original owner commissioned entrance sculpture and many Knoll and vintage furnishings. This significant modern masterpiece truly has it all, design, setting, Huntingdon Valley location, and meticulous restoration. It is an astonishing piece of paradise yet convenient to everything: Pennypack trails, Jenkintown, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, restaurants, great schools, and easy access to the PA turnpike. Owner is a PA licensed real estate agent and will be present for all showings as the listing agent.
