4101-5 Apalogen Rd

Philadelphie, PA 19129

From the expansive deck of this classic mid-century modern home on a bucolic private road in East Falls, just minutes from center city, nature in all its glory can be enjoyed. There are sweeping views of the one acre-plus grounds with rolling lawns, lush trees, birds in flight and at feeders, the occasional fox or deer. Seasons change before your eyes. 4101 Apalogen Rd offers all this and more. Built around 1954 the home was designed by Frank Weise, noted architect of the period who began his career working for Louis Kahn. Weise?s mid-century designs can be found throughout the Philadelphia area. 4101 Apologen Rd offers over 3000 square feet of living space comprising one floor living over a finished lower level. Enter the residence after crossing the deck (and glancing back to check the view). The main floor consists of the open, airy combined living and dining area with a tile fireplace. The galley kitchen is a good size and very workable with wood and stainless counters, stainless sinks, cooktop and wall ovens, plenty of cabinets, a tile floor, table space and sliders to outside. Continue down the hall lined with windows on one side and closets on the other to find three bedrooms including the main bedroom with walk-in closet and adjoining bathroom, the second bedroom with its own bathroom and the third bedroom which opens to the exterior. There is also a charming ?pass through? area with doors to the exterior which might serve as a den, office or be put to other uses. There is a hall powder room. The lower level space is amazing with a large room with adjoining huge walk?in closet and bathroom. With a direct entrance to this level from the outside, this suite has been used as an office but imagine other possibilities such as in-law or guest quarters or a teenager?s retreat. This level also includes reception space, laundry room and storage. This is a one-of-a-kind home on a quiet road with other distinctive properties, one of the most desirable areas in the city. The property is seconds from I-76, from Kelly Drive and the picturesque Schuylkill River, an easy walk to the train and just 10 minutes from center city. Come see!
