The couple, and their daughter Sydney, a college student, have been living in the 1929 Colonial since 2009. Located in Mt. Airy, a section of northwest Philadelphia, the stone house was a true find. So was the community. “It’s one of the oldest integrated neighborhoods in the country,” John explains, “and it is very eclectic. Our home neighbors Fairmount Park.” The place was a keeper. They just wanted to make it—and this man-bath in particular—a little more contemporary.
The bathroom was not large. It measured ”less than 100 square feet,” according to John. “So this,” he said, “was an opportunity to do something grand in a small space.”
