About This Property
LIVE VIRTUAL TOURS AVAILABLE. THE EPITOME OF MID-20TH CENTURY
ARCHITECTURE! This truly spectacular stone, glass and steel modern
home designed by Thomas Mangan -a disciple of modernist Marcel
Breuer- is on the market for the first time since its complete
restoration. This daring home, built into a hillside is among the
best examples of the "glass box" in mid-century American
architecture. It has been featured in several local news stories
including the Philadelphia Inquirer, various architectural blogs,
Modern magazine, featured on multiple modern architectural home
tours, and as a backdrop for national magazine fashion shoots. The
iconic architecture is a true example of outside/inside living and
is the recipient of the best mid-century home renovation
preservation by the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia.
The open living/dining room, and the bedrooms all open to the
outdoors with walls of floor to ceiling glass. The home's
clerestory windows compliment the high ceilings. The warm
first-floor library/family room has built-in bookshelves and a
fieldstone fireplace. The extraordinary sitting of the home is
angled for optimal light and preserves the privacy of this glass
box. The soothing, majestic waterfall fountain can be seen from the
home's bedrooms and is truly spectacular. The massive sheet of
water flows over a large panel of Cor-Ten steel into a reflecting
pool, whose lighting turns the space magical at night. Additional
views overlook the beautifully landscaped specimen plantings. The 3
bedrooms 2.5 bath home has a wonderful open floor plan. The kitchen
is open to living area and features Carrera Marble counters,
custom-crafted stainless cabinets, and a new Liebherr built-in
refrigerator. The large master suite has a wall of closets and a
bath with luminescent glass tile. The glorious light-filled hall
bath has an oversized round skylight and a step-down steam-shower
with seamless glass. There is a large ground floor storage room
with a cedar closet and wine cooler, and the home was renovated
with dual heat/ac zones. Original details such as the zig-zag iron
rail, and 2 large, stone wood-burning hearths anchor the home.
Every detail has been restored with the very highest quality
materials. Located in the sought after Northwoods section of
Springfield Twp, within the award-winning Springfield School
District, the home is in a perfect location, minutes from Chestnut
Hill and easy access to downtown Philadelphia. Walk to the North
Hills Septa station and quick access to route 309 and the PA
turnpike. A truly remarkable and rare opportunity to own a
significant work of architectural importance modernized to today's
standards, but preserved with the highest possible integrity.
