The location is very beautiful. The residence benefits from panoramic views of the woodlands of Southeastern Pennsylvania where the climate is also friendly. As for the building itself, it had to suffer some major changes during the renovation. The upper level was pushed into the treetops thus creating a whole new experience for the users. A second floor area was also created. It’s an expansion that includes the living areas.
