Situated on a beautifully landscaped 1.14-acre cul-de-sac lot in Fox Chapel, this exceptional residence offers over 5,500 square feet of refined living space. A newly refinished governor's driveway and grand marble-floored foyer create a striking first impression, welcoming you into a home that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern convenience. Inside, soaring ceilings, hardwood flooring, and updated lighting establish a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The large formal living room is both elegant and inviting, anchored by six dramatic floor-to-ceiling multi-pane arched windows and a gas fireplace with custom built-ins. The formal dining room features generous proportions, classic architectural detailing, a crystal chandelier, and a striking three-panel bay window. At the heart of the home, the family room, with its vaulted ceiling and skylights, window seat, wood-burning fireplace insert, and wet bar, serves as the perfect centerpiece for everyday living. Designed for both gathering and functionality, the large eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, double ovens, updated refrigerator, wine fridge, dishwasher and a large walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious mudroom and laundry room connect directly to the attached three-car garage and offer custom cubbies, extensive storage, new smart washer and dryer and a conveniently located powder room, one of two on the main level. A private office with its own exterior entrance provides tremendous flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits, or a home-based business. On the second level, the updated owner's suite is a true retreat. Separate walk-in closets, an electric fireplace, and a private wet bar create a space designed for comfort and relaxation. A cozy sitting area overlooks mature trees, providing a peaceful setting to enjoy a morning coffee, read a book, or unwind at the end of the day. The spa-inspired ensuite bath with large glass enclosed shower and dual shower heads completes the experience. Three additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite, a fully updated hall bath, and multiple linen closets offer plenty of space and storage. The fully finished lower level serves as an incredible extension of the home. This expansive level features a dedicated media room, a fitness area, and a game room that comes complete with a convertible pool/ping pong table. A kitchenette, a fifth bedroom, and a full bathroom make this floor perfect for guests or an au-pair. With seamless walk-out access to the beautifully landscaped backyard, this versatile retreat effortlessly blends indoor relaxation with outdoor enjoyment. The outdoor living here rivals that of an exclusive resort. Accessible from the kitchen, family room, and lower level, the multi-tiered outdoor spaces were designed for both large gatherings and quiet evenings at home. The upper patio features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with custom poured-concrete countertops, generous dining and seating areas, and a cedar pergola outfitted with both a ceiling fan and heater for extended seasonal enjoyment. Below, the heated saltwater pool, Bullfrog hot tub, wood-burning firepit, enhanced landscape lighting, and a fully fenced backyard create a private outdoor retreat surrounded by mature trees and tranquility. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, 900 Settler Ridge Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy elegant living, exceptional outdoor amenities, and a layout perfectly designed for both everyday comfort and memorable entertaining, all while remaining just minutes from local dining and shopping with easy access to Route 28, the PA Turnpike, Oakland, and Downtown Pittsburgh.
