2017 marks the 15th year of Philadelphia magazine’s Design Home. Over the years, each Design Home has exhibited the latest trends in the market. Their readers and visitors have been repeatedly awed by these remarkable, state-of-the-art houses. In keeping up with tradition, Philadelphia magazine’s Design Home 2017 certainly did not disappoint.

English Norman architectural elements of steep roof pitches, rounded conservatories and prominent chimneys are effortlessly blended with the newest sleek and smooth materials of glass, stainless steel, stone (Trillium) and polished concrete. Natural colors of wood, chocolate brown, black and cream work together to create sophistication reminiscent of 5th Avenue.

The floor plan demonstrates a dimensional sensitivity that infuses the home with airiness and natural daylight. The floor plan is open and spacious comfortable for entertaining while maintaining a cozy scale. Never too big as to be wasteful or cavernous, but not too small to lose the sense of a generous room. Other priorities include: large and varied storage capacity; blending of indoor and outdoor spaces and flexible space over the private garage and daylighted lower level.


Experience the rich architectural heritage of Wynnewood blended with modern touches for a fresh new look.

This beautiful home features UltraCraft's Lakeway, Piper, and Broadline Stainless Steel door styles.
