Project Description

Nestled within the lush, serene landscape of Haverford, Pennsylvania, this newly constructed five-bedroom estate home exemplifies the perfect fusion of classic charm and modern sophistication. Designed by the renowned architects at Archer & Buchanan Architecture, this luxurious residence harmoniously integrates the grandeur of Gilded Age style with modern design elements, creating a timeless masterpiece that is both elegant and inviting.

The home’s stately exterior makes a lasting impression, showcasing meticulously crafted stone masonry that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The asymmetrical rooflines, adorned with a distinctive jaunty slate roof, offer an unexpected yet charming touch, setting this home apart from traditional designs. The architecture pays homage to the opulent Gilded Age estates of the area, while maintaining a timeless, modern appeal.

Upon entering, visitors are welcomed into a spacious, airy interior that reflects the elevated simplicity seen in the exterior design. Exposed timber beams and reclaimed oak doors with intricate custom leaded glass windows evoke a sense of warmth and craftsmanship, while vintage herringbone hardwood flooring enhances the home's rustic aesthetic. Custom ironwork throughout the home adds an artisanal touch, elevating the home's artisanal charm.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen – a space that artfully marries modern design with rustic charm. Here, contemporary exposed shelving showcases reclaimed wood, while sleek Carrara marble countertops and backsplashes add an air of understated luxury. The dark oak flooring provides a beautiful contrast to the lighter tones of the marble, ensuring the space is as functional as it is stunning. The design successfully balances warmth and sophistication, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both daily life and entertaining. The kitchen layout promotes an open, airy feeling, designed to cater to both the needs of a gourmet chef and the social atmosphere of family gatherings.

This luxury home, located in one of Haverford’s most prestigious neighborhoods, offers our clients an unparalleled living experience, combining the best of both worlds – classic, Gilded Age-inspired architecture and modern, functional design.
