Remarks:
As described by Arthur Tofani in his presentation to the D'Onofrio's in 1958 " powerful, curving walls of local stone, deeply rooted to the earth, carrying a wing like roof whose form, the result of long study of developed forces, permits support at almost any point. Under this crisply graceful shelter, spaces could be disposed freely. Gone is the constricting formality of the recent past. Space becomes more an exciting entity that is allowed to exist purely for the pleasure of experiencing it."
The incredible curving roof of this home is a true one of a kind. It draws your eye out in every direction and it truly feels as if is just floating above. The design and fine craftsmanship have resulted in a very low maintenance roof for the current owners to a level rarely seen in homes of this period. Light was a careful consideration in design with morning southeastern light for the bedrooms. All major rooms of the home have full southern exposure. The setting southwestern sun can be seen from the living and dining room area.
This 2970 sq ft home has 4 bedrooms each with a wall of glass on the main level. The home is sited a high point in the area and on 1.26 acres. The home has been carefully maintained with preservation of all original details along with today's updates. The home has a wonderful open floor plan with a large family room below. The home is located in the award winning Marple Newtown school district. Ridley Creek State Park is a 2 min drive. The community has a summer concert series in Rose tree Park also a few minutes away. Gentile's farmers market is close by. The home is close to Media, West Chester and Wayne for shopping, and has easy access to 476, New York, DC, and is a quick easy drive into Philadelphia.
