Description
Open House Canceled. All offers must be in by Sat May 17th at 4 PM. The Allan Berkowitz residence is a remarkable opportunity to own a significant work of architectural importance, meticulously preserved with the highest level of integrity. This stunning, light-filled, 3-bedroom mid-century modern home features open floor plan with flexible spaces. Designed by noted Philadelphia architect Allan Berkowitz as his personal residence in 1955, this spectacular International Style home is constructed of stone, glass, and steel. Berkowitz developed the design's concepts during his studies at the Royal Technical University in Budapest in the 1930s. After emigrating to the United States, he found the ideal location to build his dream home, Mon Reve (My Dream), on Serpentine Lane in Wyncote. This gem of Philadelphia modern architecture has a wonderful open feel and offers a strong connection to the outdoors from every room. The walls of windows throughout the space allow dappled light to filter in from various angles during the day. The generous entry area leads into a living room that is situated at the corner of two long walls of windows, providing the home with an expansive feeling and open views into the connecting dining and family areas. The original bathroom is a treasure and is in remarkable condition. The kitchen has been completely renovated to meet today's needs. The owner has worked diligently to restore and preserve this piece of art over the past decades. The original floor plan has been carefully restored, incorporating numerous upgrades, including a modern replacement of the radiant floor heating system. Mon Reve is within walking distance of the beautiful Curtis Arboretum, once home to publisher Cyrus H. Curtis and now a venue for township fairs and outdoor concerts. It is also a short walk to other parks and the Jenkintown train station. Nearby Jenkintown, which is less than five minutes by car, boasts fantastic restaurants and an independent movie theater. The location offers convenient commuting options with quick access to Center City via Route 76 or Lincoln/Kelly Drive, connecting to the PA Turnpike or I-95. The SEPTA station at Jenkintown features excellent service, with three train lines converging at that station. Trains run every 10 minutes during rush hours, providing direct access to Temple University, downtown Philadelphia, 30th Street Station, the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University campuses and hospitals, as well as the Philadelphia Airport. Charming Elkins Park and Glenside are also nearby. Mon Reve is mentioned in the "Mid-Century Modern Architecture Travel Guide: East Coast," published by Phaidon, and has been a featured site on a Philadelphia Modern Home Tour. This significant modern masterpiece truly has it all: design, setting, location, and meticulous restoration.
