About This Home
Some homes are built to live in... this one was built to LIVE WELL. Welcome to 2042 Sterling Drive, where luxury, thoughtful design, and unforgettable entertaining come together in one extraordinary home in the award-winning South Fayette School District. From the moment you pull into the impressive governor's driveway and see the stately stone exterior and oversized 3-car garage, you'll know this isn't an ordinary home. Step through the front door and prepare to be amazed by soaring ceilings, beautiful architectural details, walls of windows, and a breathtaking two-story great room filled with natural light that immediately makes this home feel warm, inviting, and grand all at the same time. The heart of every great home is the kitchen... and this one absolutely delivers. Designed for both everyday living and hosting unforgettable gatherings, you'll love the abundant cabinetry, oversized island, and seamless flow into the spectacular two-story family room, sun-filled morning room and elegant dining room framed with a custom stone arch. A formal living room, sun-room, and massive solarium filled with windows completes the impressive main floor. Do you love to entertain? If the main floor doesn't impress, just wait until you see what happens when you head downstairs. Unlike almost anything else you'll find on the market, the finished walkout lower level is truly a home within the home. Complete with a full second kitchen, spacious living room, media room, fifth bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, and direct access to the LL patio, this incredible space is perfect for multigenerational living, long-term guests, an au pair, older children wanting their own space, or simply creating the ultimate entertainment level. And just when you think you've seen it all...step outside. The covered patio features a built-in outdoor kitchen that's ready for summer cookouts, football Saturdays, graduation parties, and family celebrations. Upstairs, the spacious deck invites you to relax with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, while the custom firepit area creates the perfect place to gather with family and friends long after the sun goes down. Back inside, the owner's suite provides the private retreat you've been dreaming of with two walk-in closets, luxurious bathroom, and bonus room perfect for a small gym, yoga, prayer, or nursery. Every additional bedroom offers comfort and flexibility, giving everyone their own place to call home while still maintaining the warm, welcoming feel that makes this property so special. Bedroom 2 has it's own private bath and bedrooms 3 & 4 share a Jack & Jill bath. Outside, the side yard even has room for a pool and/or putting green!! What truly sets 2042 Sterling Drive apart isn't just the luxury finishes or incredible floor plan...it's the lifestyle. This is the home where holidays become traditions, birthdays become unforgettable celebrations, movie nights become family memories, and summer evenings are spent cooking outside before ending around the fire with the people who matter most. Three kitchens. Incredible indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. A private multigenerational suite. Award-winning South Fayette Schools. An unbeatable location just minutes from Southpointe, Robinson, the Airport, I-79, shopping, dining, and Downtown Pittsburgh. Luxury. Flexibility. Endless possibilities. Homes of this caliber rarely become available. The only question left is... when would you like to schedule your private tour?!?
