1006 Greenwood Ave
Description
Positioned to capture natural light from sunrise to sunset, the house is seamlessly integrated into its setting. Nearly two private acres unfold around it, backing directly to the Curtis Arboretum. The property’s lower tier—part of the original Curtis Hall estate—features a water garden framed by specimen-class Japanese maples, creating a landscape as distinctive as the architecture itself.
Here, Emil A. Schmidlin and Ellis Leigh’s original vision is preserved while modern enhancements bring the home into the 21st century. Original terrazzo and marble floors, warm walnut paneling, and expansive walls of glass embody the optimism of its era. Updates by the current owners bring the home fully into the 21st century: an ultra–high efficiency HVAC system, upgraded electrical service, roof improvements, new water heater, reverse-osmosis water treatment system, smart-home lighting and blinds, and a new tractor garage. The water garden has been enhanced with a modern waterfall and filtration system, and the family room’s original walnut paneling has been carefully restored.
The result is a home where mid-century authenticity and modern comfort coexist. A dramatic stone fireplace wall with built-in wet bar anchors the entertaining spaces, while the sunroom addition, terraces, and chef’s kitchen with professional-grade appliances make daily living as inspiring as it is practical.
Outdoors, the estate feels like a private arboretum. Winding paths lead through curated gardens, mature trees, perennials, and specimen plantings. The pond serves as a serene focal point, animated by water and light. It is both a gardener’s paradise and a sanctuary for quiet reflection.
Located in historic Wyncote, Green Acres offers rare architectural pedigree with the convenience of urban access. The Jenkintown-Wyncote train station is within walking distance, while Jenkintown and Chestnut Hill provide dining, shops, and cultural destinations nearby.
A true one-of-a-kind property, Green Acres is not just a home, but a living piece of architectural history—combining Ellis Leigh’s design vision, Emil Schmidlin’s architectural expertise, and the enduring beauty of mid-century modern design.
