About This Home
Showstopping East End residence delivers contemporary luxury in one of Pittsburgh's most connected locations. Behind its historic façade lies a transformed 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home spanning 3,000 square feet across three finished levels. A private driveway, covered two-car parking, and thoughtfully designed spaces further distinguish the offering. Positioned at the crossroads of Pittsburgh's most desirable East End neighborhoods, enjoy exceptional walkability and seamless access to East Liberty, Highland Park, Lawrenceville, Bakery Square, and Shadyside. Pittsburgh's celebrated shopping, dining, parks, and cultural destinations are all within easy reach. A stone staircase ascends to the full-width front porch, where the striking residence rises above the streetscape below. Inside, luxury is immediate. Soaring ceilings, statement lighting, detailed millwork, and an open-concept layout create a memorable first impression. The living room centers around a distinctive arched window outfitted with custom plantation shutters, while two closets and a chic powder room add everyday practicality. At the rear, dining and kitchen spaces are framed by exposed brick, wainscoting, and a fireplace feature wall. A dramatic center island defines the kitchen, complemented by a GE Café appliance package and a fully equipped butler's pantry with prep sink. The primary suite occupies nearly three-quarters of the second floor. A king-sized sleeping chamber with decorative fireplace flows into an extraordinary 150-square-foot dressing room wrapped in custom storage systems. The ensuite bath features a dual vanity, oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, and separate water closet. A second bedroom, full hall bath, and dedicated laundry room complete the level. Tucked beneath the rooflines above, the third floor functions as a retreat of its own. A central game room with wet bar serves as the heart of the space, while three additional bedrooms and a third full bath provide flexibility for media space, home offices, or multigenerational living. Outside, the amenities continue. Covered two-car parking doubles as an entertaining pavilion, while a sprawling paver patio with built-in fire pit overlooks manageable lawn space. Offering exceptional walkability and swift access to Route 28, Downtown Pittsburgh, East Liberty, Lawrenceville, Highland Park, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and UPMC's major medical campuses, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy contemporary luxury in the heart of Pittsburgh's East End.
