House For a Low Site, as named by the architect Walter Harvey Dunning, is a marvel of Chester County modern architecture.  Dunning focused his practice on Living Architecture, a design philosophy seeking to integrate architecture with nature and celebrate ecologically responsible design.   Rarely will one find a home built with such attention to high quality details and materials, including heartwood redwood trim, cedar siding, red oak and Philadelphia Travertine flooring. The home sits on 2+ acres with gorgeous view of fields and mountains. The sun rises directly in front of the house, filling the living spaces with a golden glow. The passive solar design of the home uses eaves to block the afternoon sun while inviting a flood of daylight throughout the home. The dark siding is strategically placed to be shaded in the summer and accessible to the warming of the sun in the winter.  The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with walking access to 35 miles of trails in the beautiful 7,916-acre French Creek State Park, along with a short drive to two lakes. The historical yet hip village of Saint Peter’s Village is just minutes away, with an award-winning bakery, a favorite lunch spot for locals and breathtaking views of the granite boulder filled French Creek. The scenic and quaint Saint Peters Village also includes a Restaurant/Bar/Inn with live entertainment, blacksmith shop, glassblowing studio, woodworker, ice cream parlor, antique store, vintage pinball arcade, yoga studio, and holistic shops.
