BARENHAUS

Barenhaus (Bear House) is a striking 7,400-square-foot residence situated on 6.4 acres in Solebury Township, PA, displaying a modern take on alpine architecture. With its Germanic influences, deep roof overhangs, and precise engineering, this home is as bold as it is refined.

Central to the design is a dramatic three-story floating steel and oak staircase, connecting light-filled interiors that are ideal for art collectors. Features include an open kitchen with a 16-foot island, a glass-walled wine room, and a double-sided chimney that connects indoor and outdoor fireplaces, all opening to a 114-foot wraparound deck. The residence includes a first-floor suite, a substantial main suite, versatile lower-level spaces, and a detached three-car garage, offering a sophisticated retreat that harmonizes contemporary design with its natural setting.
