Spectacular mid-century modern home, nestled among estate homes on a bucolic and meticulously manicured nearly one-acre lot in Rydal. This pedigreed home was designed by Matthew B. Ehrlich. Influenced by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Ehrlich designed this contemporary home to showcase the beautiful sun-filled landscape surrounding it. Enter past beautiful rhododendron and azaleas through a flagstone patio to the foyer. The flagstone patio is a lovely place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, or step down from the foyer to the living room with floor to ceiling Thermopane windows and gas fireplace. With serene views to the outdoors, the open floor plan to the dining room provides plenty of space for both family and entertaining in a modern, elegant setting. The modern eat-in kitchen fits marvelously with the homeâs mid-century style. Appointed with a 6-burner Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dishwasher, compactor, microwave, 2 large stainless steel sinks with Grohe faucet, and custom cabinetry, this is a chefâs dream come true. The generous family room offers 16-foot Pella sliders to the outdoors, bringing both views and gentle breezes to any gathering. Next to the family room, the insulated 2-car garage plus workbench provides easy access for cars, storage, and home improvements. Moving up the stairs, you will find a generous private office with vaulted ceilings, gorgeous views, and an adjacent roof deck for when a break is needed! Tucked away on the far side of the home, the bedrooms provide a restful environment. The primary suite is a spa-like retreat, with large master bath with slate oversized walk-in oversized stall shower with a tumbled marble floor, as well as a redwood sauna, two-person Jacuzzi, Hansgrohe and Grohe thermostatic fixtures, hot water heated radiant slate floor, skylights, and a private entrance to the pool area. Every detail has been thought of, with dual vanities and separate his-and-hers water closets for added privacy. There are also two additional bedrooms and full baths (one with steam-shower), offering plenty of space for both family and guests. Moving to the outdoors, you will be wowâed by the lush landscaping and stunning in-ground pool resurfaced with Diamond Bright, with adjacent shaded deck. This is a homeownerâs paradise, and will surely provide many days of enjoyment. This home has been meticulously cared for with many upgrades including: Ultra-efficient Weil McLain 230 Ultra hot water 3 zone heating system throughout floors and ceilings (4th zone is in family room and is electric baseboard heat), 2 brand new HVAC units controlled by your phone (2022), upgraded electrical systems, new driveway (2022) excellently maintained gorgeous slate roof, random width pegged oak floors (steps sanded and refinished in 2018), and a whole -house 30Kw generator. Pool heater and pump system were replaced in 2018, pool skimmers and pool coping replaced with flamed Bluestone coping in 2017, and new pool return lines replaced in 2018. A state-of-the-art leak detection system automatically shuts off entire house water supply and notifies owner through alarm system as to location of leaks. There is a sophisticated multiple camera system installed in 2017 as well as alarm system with backups for security. No stone has been left unturned on the maintenance of this special and stunning home.
