3935 E Netherfield Rd for rent in Philadelphia, PA
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a modern masterpiece in Philadelphia. In a neighborhood full of traditional brick and stone homes, "Bella Luna" truly stands out. Nestled within the quiet enclave of East Falls, the 4-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath contemporary home was designed by architect Michael Ryan. His "architecture as art" philosophy has produced modern homes of distinction throughout the northeast, and "Bella Luna" perfectly illustrates Ryan's intent to design a connection between structure and the natural world. Planned to enhance modern living, high-end materials can be found throughout. The dual-level home features rich walnut flooring and an open floor plan with walls of windows that bring light filtering in from different angles throughout the day. Inside the front door, you'll find a limestone foyer and an expansive living space that's separated by a stunning floating staircase. The living room features floor-to-ceiling windows and a soaring gas fireplace, surrounded by a wide stone hearth a splendid spot for napping. The chef's kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, honed statuary marble countertops and premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A nine-foot center island anchors the kitchen, plus there's a spacious dining area and a dedicated office space that does double duty as a buffet. Just steps away, the backyard features a deck and a large lawn, perfect for hosting playdates and seasonal gatherings. Rounding out the first floor are a powder room, a private library, a generously sized bedroom with an adjoining bathroom (ideal for guest suite), and a spacious laundry area. At the top of the stairs, you'll be greeted by the "view room," a unique & light-filled double-height tower that provides a bird's eye view of the changing seasons. The upper level also features the master bedroom (with a spa-like ensuite), that looks out to a private deck, two additional bedrooms flanked by a shared bathroom and a cozy den. Still need more space? Don't forget about the huge basement, and the house also offers tons of closet space and front-of-house parking. Named by Niche as "One of the best places to live in PA," East Falls is within walking distance of many of Philadelphia's top private schools, including Germantown Friends School and William Penn Charter School. With weekly farmer's markets, trendy eateries and easy access to the Schuylkill River and Wissahickon Trails, East Falls is an ideal neighborhood for those seeking a more tranquil lifestyle within an urban setting. "Bella Luna" sits on a lovely, tree-lined street less than a block from McMichael Park (now featuring a newly built playground), and you'll be just 13 minutes from Center City and 10 minutes from the Main Line. This is a rare opportunity to live in a singular, modern masterpiece in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
