Property Description
From the moment you step inside, the craftsmanship is extraordinary. Original Eastlake millwork graces the principal doorways with intricate fretwork transoms, ornate spindlework, and geometric latticework that speak to a level of artistry rarely seen in modern construction. Richly carved newel posts, turned balusters, bracketed stair stringers, and substantial wood casings run throughout in remarkably preserved condition. Decorative fireplaces anchor nearly every room, and large windows flood the interiors with natural light. Art glass windows add quiet elegance in select rooms, while a colorful stained glass transom as you enter the sunroom is a genuine showstopper. Period-appropriate brass and frosted glass light fixtures cast a warm glow throughout, from the scrollwork chandelier in the living room to the delicate globe pendants in the dining room and the etched glass fixture gracing the upper hallway. This is a home that rewards every glance.
The floor plan flows naturally and graciously. A welcoming living room opens to a formal dining room, creating an ideal space for gathering and entertaining, both graced with beautiful hardwood floors. A light-filled sunroom off the living room, modernized with skylights, is an irresistible retreat for morning coffee, reading, or tending to a flourishing plant collection. A substantial family room, currently staged as a home office, features built-in shelves, glass door cabinets, and richly toned woodwork that make it one of the home's most compelling spaces.
The thoughtfully modernized kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with upgraded cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula for casual seating. A side door off the kitchen opens to a covered stoop, a convenient everyday entrance and exit. A rare intact rear staircase connects the kitchen directly to the second floor, a charming and practical feature original to homes of this era.
The five large bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across two floors. The second floor offers three bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the entire third floor provides two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large walk-in closet, a private and flexible retreat with endless possibilities. A powder room on the main level adds everyday practicality, and the massive basement provides laundry facilities and exceptional storage.
Shadyside is one of Pittsburgh's most walkable and sought-after neighborhoods, and this address puts the very best of it within easy reach. Centrally located between Highland Park, Frick Park, and Schenley Park, and walkable to Mellon Park, with some of Pittsburgh's finest cultural amenities and recreational opportunities nearby, the setting is as appealing as the home itself. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target are all a short walk away, as is the new Meridian development. Walnut Street, Ellsworth Avenue, South Highland Avenue, and Bakery Square offer some of Pittsburgh's best dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences, all within easy reach. Add Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC, and Pittsburgh's booming tech corridor to the mix, and the location speaks for itself. A stroll through the neighborhood is a walk through Pittsburgh history, where tree-lined streets and beautifully preserved historic homes reflect a community that has always taken pride in where it lives. This is Shadyside living the way it was meant to be.
