Welcome to this extraordinary property designed by esteemed architects Mellor, Meigs and Howe for Robert T. McCracken, Esq. in 1920 with superb 1926 addition. It is sited on the treasured block of Westview Street with access to the Fairmont Park trail network. There is an understated elegance to the property design that remains timeless: It balances indoor and outdoor living complete with the fully enclosed stone walled garden room with belvedere, pergola and multiple brick and stone walkways and courtyard. There is documented Samuel Yellin ironwork including hardware and braces for multiple doors and windows. The first floor lends itself to large scale or intimate entertaining and modern convenient living with updated chef’s kitchen with walk in pantry, laundry room and mudroom, family room and large dining room with access to the walled garden and greenhouse. Take the steps down in the conservatory flooded with light by the glass paned wall with fountain and powder room to the incredible living room addition with soaring ceiling and massive stone fireplace, back study and attached shed. The second floor includes a primary suite with updated en-suite bathroom and two more bedrooms with a second full bathroom. Updated systems include cedar roof (approx. 10 years old), electric and central air conditioning. There is a front cobblestone driveway and a two car garage that is accessed from Kitchens Lane at the rear of the property that can be reached through back stairs of the residence. This property named “Garth”, meaning enclosed garden or yard, began its initial form as a hunting lodge for Mr. McCracken and was later substantially expanded through the 1926 addition. Mellor, Meigs and Howe were awarded the American Institute of Architects, Philadelphia Chapter, Gold Medal in 1922 for the design of the original home: It is considered one of their masterpieces.
