Privately set at the end of a long, winding driveway, this exceptional all-brick estate stands on two picturesque acres in the heart of Fox Chapel—one of Pittsburgh’s most prestigious and sought-after communities. Offered for the first time in more than 55 years, it is defined by privacy, presence, and enduring architectural elegance. Built in 1935, the residence showcases a richly detailed living space filled with original hardwood floors, custom millwork, decorative ironwork, and classic craftsmanship. A grand foyer welcomes guests with a sweeping curved staircase and wrought-iron railings, setting the stage for an impressive yet inviting entertaining atmosphere. Light-filled formal and casual rooms create an inviting flow throughout the main level, including a distinguished dining room framed by floor-to-ceiling French doors. Charming fireplaces, architectural nooks, and thoughtful design give each space warmth and character. Five spacious bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths provide comfort and flexibility across the upper levels, complemented by a finished lower level offering additional recreation and storage. A full third floor remains available for future personalization to suit modern needs. This estate has been meticulously maintained with significant investments in infrastructure, including updated electrical with the removal of knob and tube wiring, a new underground electrical service line, a new sewer line, slate roof restoration, added central air conditioning, and numerous plumbing enhancements. Exterior improvements include corrected foundation grading, repaired downspouts and sprinkler system, and a newer gravel driveway. Positioned within the top-rated Fox Chapel Area School District and just minutes from local amenities, parks, and Downtown Pittsburgh, this residence offers a rare blend of tranquility, heritage, and convenience. A truly generational property—ready to continue its legacy with its next proud steward.
