Description
Iconic mid-century-modern home designed by renowned architect Alfred Claus and his wife can now be yours! Alfred Claus played a pivotal role in 20th century modern architecture. His wife Jane, also an architect, collaborated with him on many projects, including 316 Copples Lane, which they designed and built for their son in 1952. It is an embodiment of their signature style and vision. “Joyful and imaginative living†was the goal of the design - and the house does not disappoint, from ramps instead of stairs to a dramatic inverted roof and a wall of windows which overlooks the truly majestic .71 wooded yard - complete with a babbling brook. Enter the home via the deck where you’ll find a 600-square-foot Primary Suite, with a cozy gas fireplace and a luxurious ensuite Bath. There is a door from the bathroom area that leads to the Laundry Room which also features a utility sink and an exit to the backyard. The first level also includes a charming Powder Room. Head up the ramp to the main living area – the heart of home. Here you’ll find an efficient, well-designed Kitchen as well as a Living Room area. The Kitchen boasts warm wooden cabinets, a double sink, a cozy dining area for four and a roomy breakfast bar. Two additional Bedrooms and a full Bath complete the upper level. Thoughtful use of space is evident throughout the home, blending form and function with timeless style. Outside you will find a dedicated parking area in front of the home as well as a mailbox which is an exact replica of the house! Ideally situated, 316 Copples Lane is a within walking distance of local schools, the swim club and Spring Haven Country Club. It is also located just one mile from the SETPA Train Station to Philadelphia and only 15 minutes to Philadelphia Airport. Situated in highly acclaimed Wallingford Swarthmore School District, this one-of-kind home is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural treasure.
