Property Description

Built in 1885 and fully restored with exceptional care, this three-story Victorian is one of Historic Glenshaw’s most admired homes. Set on 1.16 acres of expertly designed landscaping, the property blends architectural character with modern comfort. A sweeping wrap-around porch introduces the home’s timeless presence, while original natural woodwork, stained-glass windows, hand-cut wallpaper, and hardwood floors highlight its craftsmanship. From 1999–2010, the home underwent a comprehensive, down-to-the-studs restoration, during which it was fully insulated and all electrical and plumbing systems were replaced and storm windows installed over all original windows, preserving its historic integrity while elevating its livability. In addition to the full restoration, the property has benefited from significant recent updates, including a new roof on both the house and the detached two-story carriage-style garage (May 2026), and a new furnace and A/C in 2024. The sub zero refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave were also recently replaced.These improvements enhance efficiency, comfort, and long-term peace of mind. The main level features a grand entry, a living room and dining room—each with its own fireplace, a serene library, a convenient first-floor laundry, a full bath, and a mudroom off the attached garage, along with a butler’s pantry off the kitchen. The kitchen blends historic charm with modern function, offering custom wood inset cabinetry, granite counters, two ovens, a warming drawer, disposal, dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator , instant hot water dispenser, electric cooktop, and microwave oven . The thoughtful layout provides generous workspace while maintaining the home’s period character. The upper floors include three additional full baths and four bedrooms. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. A dramatic second-floor great room serves as a stunning focal point, featuring a gas fireplace, hand crafted shelving, and a balcony overlooking the grounds. The third-floor rooms provide flexible space for guests, work, or hobbies. Outside, the property includes a main-level two-car attached garage and an exposed aggregate driveway that adds both durability and visual appeal. Mature trees, curated plantings, and peaceful outdoor spaces create a serene setting. Winding garden paths meander through the wooded back lot, offering quiet places to explore and tranquil views overlooking Pine Creek. Located just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, this rare estate offers historic charm, modern updates, and a setting that feels both private and connected.
