Project Description

This newly constructed five-bedroom home is situated on a lush expanse in Haverford. Designed by Archer Buchanan Architecture, this home strikes a harmonious balance between modern elements and the classical Gilded Age manor style that surrounds it. The stately presence of stone masonry on the exterior blends seamlessly with the jaunty slate rooflines, while the asymmetry of the roof peaks adds a touch of modest charm to the house.

The interior mirrors the elevated simplicity of the exterior, creating a rustic yet contemporary atmosphere. Throughout the home, you'll find exposed timber beams, reclaimed oak doors with custom leaded glass, vintage herringbone parquet flooring, and custom ironwork, all coming together to establish a relaxed living space.

In the kitchen, a contemporary twist is given to these rustic elements. Modern exposed shelving incorporates reclaimed wood, while milky Carrara marble counters and backsplashes contrast beautifully with the rich, dark oak flooring. This design creates an inviting and livable environment that combines elegance with warmth and comfort, perfectly suiting both the neighborhood and the homeowners.
