Description

A rare offering of timeless elegance, this grand 1895 Victorian home radiates natural light, architectural beauty, and the kind of craftsmanship that has only grown more exquisite with time. Perfectly positioned on a corner double lot, the home’s stately presence is introduced by an inviting covered front porch and carried throughout every richly detailed space inside. Step through the front door and into a world of original woodwork, high ceilings, and magnificent hardwood floors that flow across the main level and upstairs. The expansive living and dining rooms each feature their own tiled fireplaces. The dining room’s built-in cabinetry and custom molding add both charm and sophistication. The updated eat-in kitchen blends modern luxury with historic warmth, showcasing new quartz countertops, a pantry, and a vintage butcher block island that anchors the space. A sun-filled garden-view sunroom, first-floor laundry, and powder room complete the main level with thoughtful convenience. A sweeping grand staircase leads to the second floor, where three of the four generously sized bedrooms boast their own fireplaces—each a sculptural centerpiece- adorned with original tile, crafted of marble, and featuring antique Victorian cast-iron covers—true heirlooms of the era. The updated full bath and abundant closet space enhance everyday comfort. The third floor offers exceptional versatility: a possible fifth bedroom plus two additional rooms ideal for a playroom, studio, office, or private retreat. Throughout the home, you’ll find exceptional storage at every turn, from generous closets to thoughtfully designed built-ins that honor the home’s original craftsmanship. The full basement offers even more space for organization, hobbies, or future expansion, perfect for practical everyday living. Outside, the detached 2-car garage and fully fenced double lot create a private sanctuary with room to garden, play, and entertain. Located just one block from the Allegheny River and minutes from PA-28 and downtown Pittsburgh, this residence offers both serenity and accessibility. A home of this caliber—rich in history, drenched in natural light, and meticulously preserved—stands as a true testament to old-world luxury and enduring craftsmanship. This home is stunning!
