Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece. This architecturally-stunning residence on a quiet cul-de-sac exudes modern elegance, and was designed with a unique harmony that invites elements of the outside in. A fine example is the vaulted reception hall's warm ceiling color that intentionally matches the exterior overhang to create continuity. Tasteful touches of stone, graceful flowing rooflines and massive window walls also lend a distinctive contemporary flair. Boasting a storied past, the home was originally owned by proprietors of the famous Latin Casino in Philadelphia. The likes of Peter Frampton, the Rat Pack and other entertainment icons were known to enjoy the pool and environs that can accommodate a substantial number of guests. This luxurious retreat for family living and entertaining still offers comfort, convenience, and plenty of space for everyone. Voluminous rooms flow seamlessly from the sunroom to the kitchen, den/bar, living and dining rooms, creating the ultimate ambiance for gatherings. Yet intimate spaces provide an escape for quiet times as well. Gather by the fireplace in the family room or on the sofas in the "outdoor room" by the swimming pool for more peaceful moments. Every detail of the interior is impeccable, down to the perfectly level floors with no transition strips to be found, tile inlays that are precisely even with the wood, and light switches without screws. The sleek gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with a tray ceiling, tile floor, quartz granite island and counters, 2 stainless sinks, premium Sub-Zero, Miele and KitchenAid stainless appliances, 2 Bosch dishwashers, and low-height cabinetry allowing openness to the adjacent breakfast room. Three bedrooms including the opulent master suite with a gas fireplace and spa-bath grace the main level. A sky-lit staircase leads to the 2nd-floor bedroom suite with a vaulted beamed ceiling. The lower level rec room has a sports area, a living/media room for games and TV viewing, a 5th bedroom with a private bath, storage, and access to the 3-car garage. Beautiful grounds surrounded by estate fencing feature a swimming pool and small cabana with a changing spot and toilet. Privacy is yours less than 10 miles from Center City.
