Property Description

Tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac and set well back from Black Rock Road, this remarkable residence offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural pedigree, and natural beauty in the heart of Gladwyne. Situated on 2.6 acres within the award-winning Lower Merion School District, the home enjoys wooded views from every room and a serene connection to its surroundings. Originally designed in 1937 by architects Douglas Braik and Robert Montgomery Brown, it is a striking example of early International Style architecture, a precursor to the Mid-Century Modern movement. Defined by clean lines, flat rooflines, and expansive bands of windows, the stucco-on-masonry façade, geometric forms, and light-filled interiors embody timeless modern design decades ahead of its time.

Inside, a foyer with custom mosaic marble flooring and original metal-and-glass French doors opens to a spacious living room with wooded vistas, a wraparound terrace, floor-to-ceiling built-ins, and a fireplace. The living spaces flow into a formal dining room and a fully reimagined kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, Brizo fixtures, and premium appliances including a Liebherr Smart refrigerator and freezer, Fisher & Paykel Smart DishDrawer dishwasher, and Bertazzoni induction range, complemented by a light-filled breakfast nook. A home office and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with a private balcony, remodeled bath, and walk-in closet. The lower level extends the living space with a family room, laundry, and an additional full bath. A detached garage adds convenience, while renovations throughout—marble and terrazzo baths, recessed lighting, new flooring, custom cabinetry, and quartz window sills—elevate every detail of this historic home for modern living.
