Off-market MCM for under 1M
Step into architectural history at 1220 Susquehanna Road — the Rhode Residence, a breathtaking mid-century modern masterpiece designed in 1957 by award-winning architect Carlos Joseph Alvaré, a protégé of the legendary Louis Kahn. Offered for only the second time since its construction, this meticulously preserved one-story gem sits on a private, professionally landscaped .72-acre lot.
Dramatic ten-foot walls of glass, exposed Douglas Fir ceiling beams, original tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, and two stone wood-burning fireplaces create a living experience that seamlessly blurs the line between interior elegance and the natural landscape — exactly as the architect intended. The grounds are equally extraordinary, featuring multiple Pennsylvania Bluestone patios, a koi pond, a pergola, a custom stone landscape wall crafted by the same landscape architect behind portions of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and professional landscape lighting that transforms the property after dark.
