Description

Through the serene Japanese garden lies a stunning, south-facing, mid-century ranch-style home that perfectly captures and celebrates the defining elements of its era—simplicity, functionality, and clean architectural lines. Expansive windows throughout the home create a seamless connection to nature, filling each room with soft, natural light and offering tranquil garden views. From the open living spaces, sliding glass doors lead to a rear stone patio—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining—surrounded by lush, thoughtfully curated gardens featuring extensive plantings, including several rare varieties. A rusted guard rail sculpture by local artist Aaron Finkbiner, sourced from Lincoln Drive, adds a distinctive artistic touch. The fully fenced backyard, enclosed with a custom natural cedar fence, provides both privacy and design texture while keeping deer at bay. The kitchen was completely reimagined to blend style and function, featuring Kraftmaid cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, and new refrigerator and dishwasher. The dining area is anchored by a classic Herman Miller light fixture, a nod to the home’s mid-century roots. Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, including an enlarged and modernized primary bath. Modern updates bring comfort and peace of mind year-round, including a whole-house Kohler generator, new air conditioning, new HVAC blower and run capacitor, and a new hot water heater. A custom enclosure was also designed to discreetly screen the trash receptacles, air-conditioning compressor, and generator—ensuring every corner of the property feels intentional and refined. From the back of the home, new three-panel sliding glass doors open to an air-conditioned garage, currently serving as an inspiring artist studio—a flexible space that complements the home’s creative and functional spirit. Sidewalks make this section of Erdenheim very walkable. Local library, Free Library of Springfield Township, is just a 10 min walk. Mooris Arboretum and Gardens, a local gem, is just a 5 min drive. Quick access to Route 309. Every element of 303 Glenway has been thoughtfully curated, blending timeless mid-century design with modern sophistication—all set within a tranquil garden retreat in sought-after Erdenheim and the highly regarded Springfield Township School District
