Step back in time to 1966. Think Mad Men! This nearly 3,000 Sq Ft Robert McElroy designed home has only had 3 owners who have preserved this wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture. It blends seemlessly with nature on a 1.8 acre wooded hillside. Conveniently located in Tredyffrin Easttown School District. Some of the classic architectural details that fit the mid-century modern aesthetic are the floor to ceiling gable glass walls, A vaulted Living Room with exposed beams, an open floor plan connecting living and dining spaces, and a deck spanning the rear of the home has new wire railings and fresh stain. Every room opens to the woods bringing the outdoors in. The Great Room (Living Room) has an iconic Freestanding Malm style, wood burning fireplace. All renovations have been done preserving the clean modern lines that McElroy intended. Original hardwoods refinished on the main level. Original walnut kitchen cabinets have been restored and are soft closing, Beautiful neutral quartz worktops. Deep stainless sink and stainless appliances. Walk-in Pantry with Sage Green Contemporary cabinets, Coffee Bar, and 2nd full sized Stainless Refrigerator. Closets done by California Closets to help you stay organized . Lower level has Maple hardwoods. New Carrier HVAC system. New Epoxied Laundry Room and oversized 2 car garage. The garage has a built in PRX Performance Gym that folds into the wall to make room for cars when not in use. The front yard has been fenced and gated for pets and children. From the highest point on the property you can see Valley Forge Park. There is a beautiful garden with Pennsylvania native plants right outside the fence. The current owners have carefully maintained the peacefull vibe of the property by adding various garden/ patio/deck seating areas and additional landscaping while maintaining the architechtural integrity both inside and out. Custom Shed to store your gardening suppies and outdoor furniture. The children have built a charming tepee from twigs in the yard. Area deer use it during rainstorms and to bed down at night. The floorplan offers flexability and rooms can be changed to fit your specific needs. If you have been dreaming of an adult Tree House with all the modern comforts we have come to expect, look no further. Pugh Rd has become a bit of a concentration of significant Modern Architecture. In addtion to this home, two other nearby homes include works by other notable modern architects associaled with the 'Philadelphia School", which is a globally influential mid-century architectural and urban planning movement centered around The University of Pennsylvania (Stuart Weitzman School of Design) For example 560 Pugh Road was designed by Kjell Ingebrigsten. 356 Pugh Road is another well known McElroy house So, if you are ready for a new adventure, stop by my open houses this weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 1-3PM on both days.

Welcome to a private retreat nestled in the woods. This McElroy home is a nature-lover's dream, with almost two acres to watch the seasons change and commune with deer, hawks, fox, and birds among the treetops. The owners are only the second to enjoy this home and have been true to its mid-century modern design. Enjoy the view from an elevated deck that runs the entire length of the home. The deck can be accessed from all rooms on the main level -- master bedroom, living room, dining room, and family room-- where you will be gazing into the treetops from your hilltop and has a beautiful view of sunsets. The sound of a babbling creek at the bottom of the hill wafts up during the three seasons. Enter the home by the hand-cut stone steps and walkway that features a brick patio with another view of the woods. Stop for a moment and take in the view before entering the foyer with floor-to-ceiling windows. The upstairs is entirely hardwood except for the kitchen that has brand new neutral flooring. The master suite has a full bath with skylight and the bedroom offers a full wall of closets, vaulted ceilings and floor- to-ceiling glass windows with deck access. The living room is centered around a mid-century modern fireplace and flows into the dining room, allowing dinner party seating to expand easily. The upstairs family room could be used as an office space. The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, including two ovens and a built in microwave, and a skylight. Windows look out onto the main walkway so you'll be able to see your guests arriving as you're preparing for any event. The walk-in pantry has a vaulted ceiling that takes storage space to new heights, and there's an additional full pantry closet. The lower level has three bedrooms, an additional family room or playroom, a full bath, and laundry room. All the flooring in the lower level is a neutral maple-toned laminate. Walk out from the lower level onto a small patio, take a few steps farther and enjoy the quiet of the outside in a small garden area with a stone bench, or venture into the woods and take a seat on one of the multiple rock outcroppings. The house has a two car attached garage that enters into the laundry room. Convenient to schools and downtown Wayne shopping and restaurants. Both Wegmans and Whole Foods are close by. This special home will make you feel like you're on vacation year round ? your getaway without going away!
