1625 Stocton Rd, Jenkintown, PA 19046 SOLD | Built 1988 | 7,052 Sq. Ft. | 4 Beds | 3.5 Baths | 4 Acres More: https://bit.ly/3qp39tk... What I do is look at the vernacular architecture, not the great palaces and things, I take just the regular ordinary house, barn, outbuilding, smokehouse, wayside church and I abstract it, I clean it up. says Mr. Jacobsen. Welcome to A Village of One’s Own, a modern masterpiece by Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Jacobsen is relatively unknown around Philadelphia, but his body of work is vast, and global. His clients have included Meryl Streep, James Gardner & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He has been described as one of the world’s 50 top Architects by Architectural Digest. Here in Meadowbrook, Mr. Jacobsen was tasked with creating a modern home on a sloping hillside in 1988. Nearly invisible from the road, however the moment you turn down the drive, there is a sense of calm discovery. Three massive chimneys reach for the sky and the entire structure is covered in cedar shingles on the roof. There is a crispness and symmetry to the varying buildings from the six-dormered Federal-style living room to the glass, pyramidal sky tower that was inspired by an 18th Century lantern house over the entry foyer. Built in 1988, the 7,000 square foot residence first hit the market in 2014 for $1.8M. It remained on the market until 2016 when it sold for $1.12 million. The property relisted in March 2020 for nearly $1.3M and sold in September 2020 for $1.25M. Information found on former listing by J. Scott Laughlin of Berkshire Hathaway. Hugh Newell Jacobsen (1929 2021).
