About this home
Mid-century modern design, fully realized. Tucked on a quiet private road just behind Carnegie Mellon University, this architect designed estate home has been completely reimagined with finishes inspired by mid-century modern design. It’s a rare blend of architectural pedigree and timeless style. Arrive through the two car garage into a soaring two story glass atrium, which flows into the home’s centerpiece: a 30 foot heated indoor pool, ready for laps in January as easily as July. A dedicated gym area sits nearby, so your whole wellness routine stays under one roof. Floor to ceiling windows bring the outdoors in throughout, while multiple decks and outdoor spaces extend the living area into the surrounding greenery. With 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, and an elevator serving all four floors, the home works as well for everyday living as it does for hosting. Beneath the design is serious construction: steel framing, commercial grade foundations, and a concrete floor structure with no interior load bearing walls, so the open, flexible layout can adapt to how you live. Private and set in one of the city’s most distinctive enclaves, it’s minutes from Oakland, Squirrel Hill, and Shadyside. A true Pittsburgh original.

About Squirrel Hill
North
Squirrel Hill North, located between Schenley Park and Frick Park, is a residential and commercial Pittsburgh neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a walkable business corridor. Forbes Avenue and Murray Avenue concentrate the neighborhood’s character, where independent bookstores, old-school diners, specialty grocers, and sidewalk cafés keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include the Manor Theatre, the Squirrel Hill Market, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Squirrel Hill. Brick and stone homes, including classic Pittsburgh foursquares and Tudor-inspired facades, line the hilly blocks. Green space frames daily routines via park trails and ballfields. Buses and bike routes connect the corridor to Oakland and Downtown.
