Beautifully reimagined, the upper level currently serves as an event venue complete with a kitchen and office, while the expansive lower level offers endless possibilities for collectors, automotive enthusiasts, equipment storage, workshops, or a home-based business. Whether you're envisioning a private entertaining venue, creative studio, equestrian use, or entrepreneurial venture, this remarkable structure provides unmatched versatility. One of the property's most captivating features is the collection of six original lampposts from Pittsburgh's historic Smithfield Street Bridge. Fully operational, these rare pieces of local history beautifully illuminate the path from the home to the barn, adding a distinctive sense of character, heritage, and timeless charm. Offering an exceptional blend of luxury, history, sustainability, acreage, and opportunity, this one-of-a-kind estate presents a lifestyle rarely found in the Pittsburgh region.
