Remarks:
A remarkable home in an incredible location. This home has dramatic presence, and I believe is one of the greatest mid-century modern homes to be found on the East Coast. It is set in the Wissahickon Valley of Fairmount Park on 3 secluded acres. Best of all worlds privacy, seclusion, significant architecture, exclusive street, 10 minutes to center city Philadelphia, minutes from 76, and grand scale entertaining spaces. After rejecting Louis Kahn's plan for the site Dr. N. William Winkelman hired the noted firm Montgomery & Bishop to design this home in 1958. The back wall, facing the park, is a projection of glass, giving the impression that the house is an elegant tree house, high up in the forest canopy. This home is also very close to top level schools. There is a home office with a small reception area and separate entrance.
