Property Description

This three-bedroom, two-bath home, located just minutes from Center City Philadelphia, presents a rare opportunity to rent a mid-century masterpiece. The unique glass box design is angled to optimize light and offers serene views through its expansive windows, overlooking Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Situated at the end of a quiet lane among a cluster of modern homes in East Falls, this residence was designed by the renowned Philadelphia architecture firm Montgomery & Bishop in 1956, at the pinnacle of their career. The striking cantilevered main floor creates a breathtaking floating effect. Entering the home by crossing a Japanese dry moat enhances the magical feeling of being in a truly special place. This remarkable stone, glass, and steel International Style home is often referred to in the architectural community as the Pedestal House due to its floating upper level. It exemplifies the concept of inside/outside living in a wooded paradise, maintaining a strong sense of integrity with many original details preserved. The walls of windows throughout the space allow dappled light to filter in from various angles throughout the day. A balcony adjoining the living room and kitchen overlooks the enchanting woodland retreat located behind the home. The primary bedroom is conveniently situated on the entry level, while the lower walk-out level features four additional spaces, including two bedrooms, and an office. The entry courtyard serves as a private retreat where you can enjoy stunning views of the home. This significant modern masterpiece truly has it all: exceptional design, an idyllic setting, and a private location near Fairmount Park. It will be available for rent for only one year, offering an incredible piece of paradise while still being close to all that Philadelphia has to offer.
