Property Description
Tucked away within one of the Main Line's most beautiful neighborhoods, this architecturally significant contemporary , originally inspired by acclaimed architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen , stands out as a unique rare modern gem among Gladwyne's traditional estates. Known locally as the former “Glass and Cedar House,” the residence retains its striking form while benefiting from contemporary updates. As you arrive, the detailed brick driveway, manicured landscaping, and distinctive design immediately set the tone for this exceptional home.
Inside, soaring 20-foot ceilings, walls of expansive windows, and multiple sliders bathe the interiors in natural light and create a seamless connection to the surrounding greenery. The restaurant-style kitchen is a chef's dream, appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, gas cooking, a wine refrigerator, trash compactor, built-in espresso and coffee maker, a stunning 19-foot quartz island, and Caesarstone countertops - perfect for cooking, entertaining, and gathering. The welcoming first-floor entry features a stunning view with high ceilings and sky lights and is flanked by a large closet and a perfectly placed powder room.

A striking floating staircase leads to the lower level, where you'll find two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors, two updated full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry and utility room, and a sunken family room with access to the back patio. Every window frames tranquil, tree-filled views, enhancing the home's retreat-like atmosphere.
Additional highlights include a gas fireplace, built-in speakers throughout, dark-stained hardwood floors, landscaped front grounds with Coventry walls, EP Henry stonework slate steps and a deck that runs the entire length of the back of the house overlooking the this beautifully landscaped property .
