Property Description
Here’s your chance to own a property that is part of The International Style of Modern Architecture history. This spectacular glass, steel & stone Mid-Century Modern home was designed by internationally recognized architect George Daub (1901-1966) & built in 1950 for regionally recognized architect Warren Beltz (1920-2011). George Daub was internationally recognized in the landmark 1932 MoMA “The International Style: Modern Architecture since 1922” exhibition. George Daub was hand-picked by renowned architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005) as 1 of the select few architects including Richard Neutra & Frank Lloyd Wright to represent the U.S. in the exhibition alongside Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe & Marcel Breuer to name a few. George Daub practiced at a pivotal time in architectural history, contributing to the American adaptation of The International Style of Modern Architecture as it moved from its birthplace in Europe to the U.S. in the late 1920s. Located in the always sought-after Huntingdon Valley & A-rated Upper Dublin School District. The home is situated for optimal light & serene views from the walls of windows onto a 1.3-acre lot in an extraordinary setting that is your own private nature preserve w/ native trees, plants, pollinators, birds, owls & wildlife. This significant early modern home has a remarkable feeling of integrity, with the preservation of original details to a level rarely seen. The original kitchen & baths remain in remarkable MCM condition. Details such as the original: Brazilian Rosewood cabinetry in the kitchen, Blue Formica countertops, GE double wall ovens, cooktop & range hood, floor-to-ceiling PA Fieldstone fireplace & walls, Cantilevered Red Pine staircase & rear deck, Cedar & Douglas Fir wood paneling, built-in cabinetry, millwork, doors, rectangular & square bath tile installed vertically is as modern looking as ever & their Baby Blue & Pink colors ironically get the most likes & followers on Instagram today. It is rare for a home to have so many original details intact throughout which enhance this architectural gem. A stone wall draws you into the entry, dramatically cutting through a glass wall. As you head up the stairs, you come to the wide-open living & dining rooms. The walls of windows create amazing light & bring the outside in. The rear deck adjoining the living room & kitchen overlooks the private & magical woodland. Views from the eat-in kitchen are stunning in every season.
