For more than a century, the charming hamlet of Ben Avon Heights, just nine miles from downtown Pittsburgh, has been prized for its timeless character and exceptional convenience. Built circa 1928, 23 Oxford Road beautifully blends classic architectural details with thoughtful modern updates. A level walkway leads to a welcoming entry featuring a built-in bench and a spacious guest closet. The generous living room showcases a stone fireplace, an adjacent half bath, and a wide arched opening into the dining room, complete with corner built-ins and a newly installed garden window. The bright kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering quartz countertops, glass-front cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Upstairs, the primary bedroom charms with two recessed window seats. Two additional bedrooms, a den/4th bedroom or flexible living space, two full bathrooms, and abundant closet storage complete the second floor. The lower level provides a comfortable game room along with a large laundry and utility area. Outdoor living is enhanced by a covered side porch and an adjoining brick patio—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include a two-car detached garage with a recently poured concrete floor, and a level homesite featuring a spacious front yard with level side and rear yards. New roofs on both the home and garage were installed in 2025, offering peace of mind. Ben Avon Heights residents enjoy a private community park with sports courts and a playground, while nearby Avonworth Heights Park offers additional courts, playgrounds, a pool, a large pavilion, and the Mayernik Center for events. The community’s centerpiece, Shannopin Country Club, features dining, social events, an outdoor pool, racquet sports, and golf (membership required).
