Hillside Modern - Media, PA
ARCHITECT: Michael Ryan Architects
A complete modernization of this spectacular 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home was masterfully completed by the renowned Michael Ryan Architects. With clean lines and custom millwork, the design takes an exacting approach to light and space with a focus on architectural features and modern living. The open plan kitchen-dining-living area flows seamlessly to the cantilevered glass railed deck offering a dramatic living space and uninterrupted views of the surrounding woodlands. The private grounds are landscaped with mature plantings, stone walkways, and bi-level decks offering unobstructed sylvan views. Truly exquisite design and style are evident in every finish and detail of this modern gem.
A sleek pivot door highlights the entry bringing nature in and flooding the foyer with natural light. The adjoining stairwell creates a dramatic architectural focal point for the space.
The unique slatted wall gives the living room definition while maintaining a connection to the rest of the family space. The custom feature wall serves as a dramatic backdrop to the living room.
The modern kitchen features warm walnut cabinetry, a custom steel and marble island, and built-in banquette seating.
The open plan kitchen-dining-living area flows beautifully to the cantilevered glass-railed deck, that offers an uninterrupted view of the surrounding woods.
The first-floor primary bedroom enjoys sylvan hillside views. Open rafter ceilings give a spacious feel to the suite.
The lower level is built for entertainment with a family room, game room, and home gym. An expansive window and sliding glass doors bookend a modern fireplace with a built-in firewood niche. The lower level connects to the very private lower deck and backyard.
Bi-level cantilevered decks with glass railings and retractable awnings bring the outdoors in while facilitating alfresco dining.
The bi-level decks create a serene outdoor living space with panoramic views of a lush green canopy in the warmer months and an incredible display of vibrant woodland colors in the fall.
