c. 1820

Distinguished Stone Residence

Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania | $3,295,000

Set at the end of a winding drive on a private, tree-shaded lot, this distinguished stone residence is a masterful blend of period craftsmanship and modern refinement. With roots dating back to the 1820s, the home has been expanded and reimagined over time, most recently through a thoughtful renovation by renowned local architect Warren Claytor. The result is a property that feels both timeless and utterly unique, where no detail has been overlooked and every element has been executed at the highest level. From handmade custom light fixtures by Heritage Metal Works and forged iron hardware by Michael Coldren to soapstone counters and sinks from Bucks County Soapstone, artisanal materials define the home at every turn. Wide-plank reclaimed oak floors, arched doorways, wainscoting, and intricate millwork set a tone of understated elegance.

Hudson Valley Colonial Masterpiece

This one-of-a-kind Hudson Valley residence artfully combines authentic, historic character with flawless contemporary design set on a bucolic, level parcel. The c. 1790’s antique colonial portion of the home features a timeless natural stone facade, standing seam roof, and welcoming red front door evoking true period charm. An architecturally inspired contemporary wing clad in cedar was added in the 1980s, creating a spacious, chic, light-filled interior, and a seamless blend of old and new. The antique portion of the home maintains beamed ceilings and crafted wood details in the main room, and it flows to the soaring, light-filled section, on two levels. Original details of stonework, wood accents, and early craftsmanship – are preserved and accented throughout, while modern amenities bring comfort and ease. The outdoor spaces are a true escape. At the rear of the home, an expansive deck and stone patio surround a sparkling in-ground pool, cloistered into a private alcove and framed by a beautiful cedar pergola.
