This well-proportioned two-story design offers simplistic beauty and functionality. Living, kitchen, and porch spaces flow into each other, offering an easily livable main floor. The master suite is also located on this level. Two additional bedroom suites and a bunk room can be found on the upper level. A guest suite is situated separately, above the garage, providing a bit more privacy.

This detached custom designed garage and upstairs living suite had to both our client’s existing custom home and stand on its own as a feature within the landscape and the upscale Main Line neighborhood located outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Balancing traditional architectural design with a modern architectural feel, this new building is full of detailed surprises. It features the very best in updated building materials and amenities including real stone veneer, fire rated glass walls, a custom built stairway, a full featured kitchen with guest quarters, and a large sweeping balcony which takes in the artisanal, hand crafted stone walls and lush outdoor gardens. This beautiful impressive building not only enhances our client’s lifestyle, storing his collectible cars and providing a fully stocked retreat, it also stretches the masterful setting of the entire estate.

Pantry and Dog Care center off rustic elegant kitchen through hidden cabinet doors. Subzero fridge and Freeze supports main kitchen. 8ft Pella Life Style door leads to the dog yard or the dog can take the dog door located next to the dog shower complete with a dog brush water wand. Dog water bowl filler is convenient. The rustic/elegant kitchen (right) custom cabinets are white oak and charcoal black with a large island and an island banquette. To the left of a coffee bar, flanked by 2 sub zero built in units is a hidden cabinet door that leads to a large pantry with a dog bath, dog pot filler, and a doggie door to the outside. The traditional curved stove vent hood is accented by white oak. Two large, crystal chandeliers hang of the island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy seating area in front of a large gas log set fireplace flanked by black mullion Pella life style windows. This new 7,200 SF Custom Designed (Rustic/Elegant Farmhouse Ranch) Home was built on part of the foundation of the previous home which was a split level. Our architectural strategy required a continuous first floor (10ft) and the home remained aligned with the existing circle driveway. The rustic metal roof front entrance porch (gas lanterns) leads into a massive 2 story center hall (home of a large, centered gathering table) to a large centered outdoor back yard courtyard (kitchen to the right and sports bar to the left) which centers on the new swimming pool and wide outdoor stairs of the retaining wall required for the extensive stormwater management system. That establishes the center of the home stretching over 100 ft from the front step to the back yard stairs flanked by 2 fire features highlighting the pool. The locations of other rooms listed below are to the right and left of this centered home line. Kitchen, kitchen fireplace, pantry, and guest suite are to the right. Entrance to the finished basement theater room are to the right along with a bar to support events in the center hall. To the left of the center 2 story hall are the exercise room with sauna (with glass garage type door to the front porch), sport bar with theater and see through fireplace, game room, mudroom, laundry, 4 car conditioned garage, and pool changing rooms. From the centered 2 story hall to the right is the glass stairwell and curved stairs made of white oak and wrought iron. These beautiful stairs lead to the library balcony overlooking the massive center hall and large gathering dining table. From the right of the balcony are the primary suite with a private 2nd floor porch and a bedroom suite. From the left of the balcony are 2 more suites with a laundry room, kitchenette, and a large EZ Breeze, closed in porch that overlooks the pool and provides coverage over the pool patio next to the see through fireplace in the sports bar theater room. The exterior is James Hardie fibercement and limestone veneer. Fascia and frieze boards are capped with heavy roof metal materials. The front porch roof is standing metal seam and columns and ceiling are rustic, reclaimed wood.
