Downsizing does not have to mean settling, and this Newtown Square home is proof. The couple partnered with interior designer Lisa Quale of Lisa Quale Interiors in Glen Mills to guide every decision, from selecting builder finishes and upgrades to sourcing one of a kind furniture pieces that complement their love of mid-century modern style. Built by Rockwell Development Group, the home strikes a rare balance between refined elegance and everyday livability.
- The kitchen features white cabinetry, quartz countertops, polished nickel hardware, large white glass pendants, and walnut bar stools anchoring a center island that serves as the heart of the home
- The first floor primary bedroom includes a live edge wood bench with butterfly mortises and tapered legs positioned at the foot of a classic mid-century bed
- Designer Lisa Quale solved a common challenge by creating an asymmetrical millwork surround to house the owner's 95-inch television without overpowering the living room
- The foyer displays a recently restored portrait painted by one owner's father, a Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts alumnus, giving the home a meaningful personal touch
This Newtown Square home is a reminder that a well considered downsize can open the door to a more intentional and beautiful way of living. When design and personal story come together, the result is something truly special.
