Property Description
Welcome to "The Glass House," a 16,000-square-foot architectural triumph that redefines modern luxury. Designed with the influence of two visionary Parisian architects, this residence is a sophisticated blend of glass, stone, wood and steel, artfully nestled amid mature woods and newly designed gardens, offering panoramic views of the Philadelphia Country Club's verdant greens.
Step inside to a world of elegance where large-format, warm-toned stone floors imported from India span the entire first floor, creating an expansive and inviting ambiance. Retractable glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor living, seamlessly integrating the lush gardens and an infinity-edge pool into the home’s core.
At the heart of the foyer lies an interior pool, set within a breathtaking two-story atrium. This dramatic feature not only captivates upon entry but also provides year-round enjoyment and exercise.
The open floor plan is designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living. An indoor plant atrium adds a touch of greenery, complementing the deeply stained wood cabinetry of the kitchen. Here, a large center island, equipped with a deep prep sink and six-burner gas cooktop, serves as both a culinary workspace and a social hub. Discreet folding doors conceal state-of-the-art appliances and shelving, ensuring the kitchen remains a sleek and seamless space perfect for any occasion.
Just steps away, a luxurious wellness area offers a capacity sauna and wet room, invoking the serenity of an upscale spa. This tranquil haven is conveniently located near a fully equipped gym and the home’s stadium-seated movie theater, blending wellness and entertainment in perfect harmony.
The first level also features a cozy fireside family room and one of the home's five sumptuous suites. Ascend one of two glass and white oak open tread staircases to discover the second floor, where each suite boasts indulgently spacious closets, Porcelanosa large-format tile baths, and private balconies.
Surrounded by nature yet minutes from the vibrant center of Philadelphia, "The Glass House" is a newly constructed masterpiece. With state-of-the-art lighting, soaring ceilings, and extraordinary amenities, it embodies the pinnacle of modern living—a chic, sophisticated retreat that is both impressive and inviting.
