Windows we love: 3 homes where the view starts inside
When it comes to curb appeal, we often think about doors and foliage and gardens. Windows are an afterthought – unless they’re spectacularly bad or spectacularly good.

1100 Davis Lane, Chester Springs, PA
$1,499,000
2015 Taxes: $15,660
To the window to the wall: When your home is on 26 acres, you can feature enormous pane glass windows without the obstruction of curtains. This amazing home features an atrium where natural light comes from floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights. Windows also do double duty in this home: the property is situated to capture solar power in winter and in summer.
1431 Beaumont Drive, Gladwyne, PA
$1,995,000
2015 Taxes: $19,292
To the window to the wall: We love the thoughtful details throughout this home, like the leaded windows in the laundry room and the beautiful living room windows with deep, wide sills. Plus, we're suckers for old-fashioned mullions (the word and the meaning).
121 Pennswood Road, Bryn Mawr, PA
$1,250,000
2015 Taxes: $21,571
To the window to the wall: Part of what makes this spectacular home such a stunner is the variety and volume of amazing windows. In addition to a breathtaking solarium, windows throughout the home include interesting leaded shapes even beyond the very cool Tudor thatched windows. It doesn't hurt that the rest of the home is just as cool, either.
