This five-bedroom stone home has no end of charming features in its Victorian-style design. The sunroom, however, is particularly special. The combination of stone and glass makes for a room that is cozy and yet open at the same time, with lovely views of the park-like yard outside.

This five-bedroom Dutch Colonial was designed by Gilded Age-era architect Horace Trumbauer. You may recognize his work from a nice little building called the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In terms of design, I will repeat: stone and glass is a great combination.
