About this home
Some homes are built. This one was conceived.
Designed in 1961 by architect P.T. Astore and honored that same year with a national award for residential design, 3705 Darby Road is one of the Main Line's most architecturally significant properties — a Frank Lloyd Wright vision of modernism set on nearly two private acres in Bryn Mawr.
The philosophy is immediately apparent: this home does not separate you from the natural world — it dissolves the boundary between the two. Floor-to-ceiling and transom windows wrap the interior in shifting light and seasonal color. A long private drive rises to meet the house, which sits elevated above a private reserve, with surrounding woodland and a koi pond below the patio. The world quiets here.
Inside, the integrity of Astore's original vision remains intact. Concrete walls and original concrete floors ground the space. Cedar plank ceilings lend warmth. A dual door fireplace between the dining and living rooms, and an open kitchen-dining-living plan speak to a designer who understood, decades ahead of his time, how people actually want to live.
The home's signature symmetry offers genuine flexibility — four bedrooms, multiple home offices, or any configuration that suits your life. Authentic glass shower tile, and a unique l shape to the bathrooms delight. Dual-zone gas heat and air conditioning, a detached carport with storage shed complete the picture.
Plus, the train to Center City or Manhattan is minutes away. Suburban Square, acclaimed restaurants, and leading universities are close at hand. Serenity and connectivity, in rare and deliberate balance.
