The Pennsylvania landscape holds a romance difficult to replicate elsewhere. From the stoic, centuries-old stone farmhouses of Bucks County to the stately Georgian colonials of the Main Line, the region is defined by its deep architectural character. More recently, bold modern structures have emerged, such as glass-encased retreats in Chestnut Hill or the Poconos that blur the line between indoor luxury and the natural world. We fall in love with these homes for the visual escape, the promise of privacy, and the connection to history or nature. But admiring a façade is different from the actual experience of daily life behind it.
