thoughtfully designed in 1956 by a premier philadelphia architectural firm, carroll, grisdale & van alen, on nearly two acres in penn valley, it presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. the house wraps around a beautiful flagstone courtyard and pool, with a pool house to complete the 4th wall. go up the winding flagstone path to enter through dramatic double doors into a striking foyer, complete with a water feature, statement chandelier, and a hollywood-style powder room. to the right, the private primary suite awaits, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, dual en-suite bathrooms, and custom walk-in closets. adjacent to this suite is a spacious living area, currently utilized as a gym but previously showcased as an art gallery. this wing also provides access to an expansive lower level, offering abundant storage and a swedish sauna. on the opposite side of the foyer and pool, the main living areas unfold, featuring a generous living and dining space, a family room adorned with a fireplace and built-in bookcases, a kitchen, powder room, laundry room, and three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, two bedrooms have their own private courtyard, the third bedroom currently serves as a convenient pool room for post-swim relaxation, though the pool house itself also offers a full bath. the kitchen stays true to its modernist roots, enhanced by three floor-to-ceiling pantries that provide ample storage. architectural details like soaring ceilings with wooden beams, abundant windows, a wall fountain by the pool, and an abstract mural adorning the pool wall further highlight the home's mid-century modern charm. finally, off the main house there is a separate section with its own entrance features three flexible rooms including a full jack and jill bath and a powder room, making this wing ideal for offices, guest suites, or in-law living. recent upgrades encompass a new hvac system, an active radon system, new pool mechanicals and paving stones, retaining walls and carpeting.
