Property Description
Tucked into one of Pittsburgh's most coveted sidewalk communities, this stunning Ben Avon residence is a rare offering. A home where historic character and thoughtful renovation coexist in perfect harmony. On a private corner lot framed by mature shrubbery, the stone and wood shingle facade makes a commanding first impression, hinting at the craftsmanship and warmth that awaits inside.
From the moment you step through the front door, the scale of this home is undeniable.
The grand living room commands attention with soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, rich wood beam detailing, a decorative fireplace, and a magnificent wooden door opening to a secluded front porch. Adjacent, the formal dining room is nothing short of spectacular: pristine original woodwork, a tiled fireplace with a beautiful mantle, a crystal chandelier casting light through leaded glass built-ins, and proportions that can accommodate any occasion in style. Perhaps the home's most enchanting retreat is the dedicated office just off the living room - a sanctuary of slate floors, stone walls, oversized windows with a generous window bench, and its own private half bath. Warm, quiet, and utterly distinctive, it is the rare room that stops every visitor in their tracks. The kitchen has been reimagined for the discerning cook without sacrificing an ounce of the home's original soul. Amish-built cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a farmhouse sink, exposed brick, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a tin ceiling, and vintage-inspired lighting come together in a space that is both highly functional and deeply charming.
Upstairs, the second floor offers four bedrooms, including three generously sized rooms with the kind of proportions rarely found in historic homes. Two full baths serve the floor - one featuring a skylight, the other graced with beautiful stained glass windows. The third floor has been transformed into a private primary suite of exceptional quality: a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a luxuriously appointed bath, its centerpiece a freestanding footed tub.
The lower level rounds out the living space with a recently refinished basement offering laundry, a half bath, ample storage, and a showstopping game room complete with plush carpet and an exposed ceiling revealing rich wood beams.
Ben Avon is a community where neighbors know each other by name, parades roll down the main street, and the local coffee shop serves as the town's unofficial gathering place. Avonworth Schools, easy access to I-79 and I-279, and proximity to shopping and restaurants complete the picture.
