Property Description
Designed by renowned mid-century modern Philadelphia architect Robert McElroy and meticulously modernized by Philadelphia-based Architect firm Rasmussen/Su, this truly unique 4,600 sf home sits on over 2.69 serene acres in the heart of Penn Valley. A tree-lined circular driveway welcomes you to the private property and provides ample parking for your guests. Enter the home into the center hall foyer with rich hardwood flooring and a modern, open 3form resin staircase. The spacious living room sits just beyond with sweeping cathedral ceilings and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding the room with natural light. A cozy wood-burning fireplace with stone surround sits adjacent to the windows and is flanked by bespoke storage units. The largest of six outdoor spaces sits to the right of this room with ample space for both a dining and seating area on a Brazilian hardwood deck. A second hardwood deck sits on the opposite side and hosts the grilling area, as well as access to the dining room through a sliding glass door.
Enjoy cooking and entertaining in the fully updated eat-in kitchen. A large center island anchors the room and features pull-out storage and casual seating for up to four. This gourmet kitchen is truly a chefs delight with an LG french-door refrigerator, separate wine fridge, Electrolux wall oven, combination microwave/ convection oven, and separate warming drawer, as well as an electric cooktop with stainless steel range hood, a glass tile backsplash, and highlighted by both recessed and custom Italian pendant lighting, this kitchen is truly one of a kind. A wall of built-in cabinets ties into the breakfast nook and provides an abundance of additional storage space.
Just off of the living room sits a European-style full hall bathroom complete with 3form resin countertops, a Toto toilet, a pebble tile frameless glass shower with rain showerhead, and heated floors. An additional hall bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and double sinks and radiant heated floors sits next door in the hallway. The first two secondary bedrooms on this level are complete with built-in solid wood desks and closets and enjoy private access to the large deck. The third secondary bedroom sits at the front of the home.
A spacious bonus room is located at the top of the stairs and can function as a home office or playroom. To the left sits the fifth bedroom boasting cathedral ceilings, ample closet space, and a private balcony accessible through a sliding glass door. The Master Bedroom suite encompasses half of the second level and features vaulted cathedral ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors leading out to a private balcony. Behind a partition wall sits the custom-built walkthrough closet, meticulously designed to utilize every square inch. Refresh and rejuvenate in the European-style primary bathroom with heated floors, dual sinks, and a frameless glass-enclosed shower with dual rain heads illuminated by a large skylight above.
The lower level of this home features bamboo flooring throughout a spacious au-pair/in-law suite which includes a full bathroom with shower and radiant heated floors, private living room, and a full kitchen with gas cooking, opening to a third deck. The bedroom features built-in closets and access to a private patio. A bonus/exercise room completes the suite, which includes a machine room that holds the two-zone HVAC system, a complete home water filtration system and water heater, plus 400 amp electrical closet. A mudroom hosts the laundry area, drying area, and a large cedar closet. To the right sits the oversized two-car garage complete with 240-volt electric car outlets on both the interior and exterior for convenience.
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Penn Valley just below Rolling Hill Park, this home is a private oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy dinners out in nearby Manayunk or spend your downtime shopping in Ardmores Suburban Square.
