501 E Birch Ln, Glenside, PA 19038

This classic mid century house, designed by Eastwood and Stetser, is perfectly situated to provide privacy, a beautiful woodland view, and walkable into the heart of Chestnut Hill. Located in a premier Wyndmoor neighborhood, it is the only home on the street. The Jules C Lavin Residence, designed in 1954, features an incredibly dramatic 40 foot living room with a wall of glass up to the height of the 11 foot ceiling. The oversized glass doors open out to a gracious covered patio with an outdoor fireplace and enough space for multiple seating groups. This one floor home gives a sense of serenity and airiness, and its connection to the surroundings is continuous in every room. You will be surprised by the deep, large closets in each of the three bedrooms, main hall, and den. The wide doorways and skylights add to a sense of openness. This is the first time the home has been placed on the market in 50 years. It has been lovingly maintained and reflects its incredible integrity with many original details. The location is perfect-- walkable to Septa buses and Chestnut Hill rail lines, with easy driving access into Center City Philadelphia, shopping, multiple expressways, and New York City. Don't miss this home. It truly is one of a kind with dramatic architecture, and an incredible location.
