Distinguished Stone Estate

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. The gracious center hall opens to the formal dining room, anchored by a fireplace and adorned with a hand-painted mural depicting Valley Forge and the Delaware River.
