Description
Richard neutra’s coveney house: a timeless mid-century masterpiece
nestled on a serene two-acre wooded lot in gulph mills, the coveney house stands as a testament to the genius of richard neutra, one of the 20th century’s most celebrated modernist architects. commissioned by david and sarah coveney for their growing family, the home was completed in 1963. the striking single-story residence is one of only six private homes neutra designed in the philadelphia area. for over half a century, this home has been meticulously preserved and sensitively updated, offering a legacy of thoughtful design and family devotion that awaits its next stewards.
the dramatic living room anchors the home with its floor-to-ceiling glass wall and mitered glass corner, framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding woods and inviting nature inside—a hallmark of neutra’s philosophy. while glass walls and skylights bathe the interior in natural light, the tongue-and-groove california cedar ceiling and bryn athyn stone fireplace add warmth and texture. the kitchen, sensitively reimagined by studio robert jamieson, reintroduces original elements like wood cabinetry and travertine tile flooring. five spacious bedrooms offer sylvan views, complemented by neutra-designed built-ins that elevate functionality into art. the artist’s studio, a 1976 addition by renowned architect thaddeus longstreth, features a free-standing malm fireplace and walls of windows—an inspiring retreat for creatives.
the home seamlessly extends to patios and a wooden deck under a canopy of trees. this private retreat is only 2 miles from the king of prussia mall and 20 minutes from philadelphia.
a superb example of modernist design, the coveney house offers a sense of place and scale that only the most gifted architects of the period delivered. neutra believed that a daily connection to nature leads to a longer, happier, and healthier life—come experience it for yourself.
