Property Description
Opportunity knocks! Artfully designed in 1953 by native Philadelphian architect, Harry
Sternfeld, this stunning and unique 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath, mid-century modern home has
served as the backdrop for a documentary, an Urban Outfitters catalog, and multiple
other features. The light that permeates this home through the many large dramatic
windows, is magical.
Enjoy the spectacular outdoor spaces and grounds – the herringbone brick terrace
overlooking the parklike setting, perfect for outdoor entertaining, the backyard treehouse
and the side garden with a “secret” patio and greenhouse.
Other special features of this home include an entrance hall with imported Italian marble
floors, open-plan living spaces with vaulted ceilings, wood beams and a wall of windows
overlooking 1+ acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The living room fireplace is a
wood-burning stove with an exquisite rare black Carrera marble mantle. The first-floor
