This unique gambrel-roofed home, signature of Royal Barry Wills, New England's celebrated "Master Builder" of timeless, traditional homes — sits on a rare one-acre lot in the heart of Wexford. Lovingly updated throughout and served by the highly regarded North Allegheny School District, it offers a balance that's hard to find: thoughtful, high-end improvements at every turn, paired with just enough left for the next owner to make it their own. This is a home with real character and pedigree, where the big, meaningful work has already been done — and where there's still room to add your own finishing touches.
At the center of it all is a fully reimagined kitchen, redesigned with a smarter, more livable layout and finished to a standard you rarely find at this price point. Custom inset cabinetry, a striking antique island, and Visual Comfort lighting set a tone that's equal parts elevated and warm, while the details earn a second look — a Perrin & Rowe bridge faucet and a 36-inch AGA induction range that's as much a statement piece as it is a serious cook's tool. Just off the kitchen, a sunny breakfast nook offers the perfect everyday spot for morning coffee and casual meals — the kind of warm, light-filled corner that makes a house feel like home. It's a kitchen designed by someone with a real eye, built to be used, gathered around, and genuinely enjoyed.
The care continues throughout. The original hardwood floors have been refinished to a rich, beautiful finish — including rooms where wall-to-wall carpet was pulled up to reveal hardwood hiding underneath, is now fully restored. Many rooms have been freshly repainted or finished with designer wallpaper, giving the home a curated, of-the-moment feel while honoring its established roots. A true standout is the handsome wood-paneled den, anchored by warmth and character and served by its own adjacent full bath. It’s a flexible space that works beautifully as a private home office, or just as easily converts to an in-law suite or guest retreat for whoever needs it. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers its own en-suite bath with shower and two wall closets. A private, restful retreat with the storage and everyday convenience often missing from homes built during this time.
The home's one-acre corner lot offers a usable yard with a newly fenced perimeter offering privacy, room to roam, and space for everything from gardens to gatherings and allowing pets or kids to safely play. The landscaping has been fully updated and the home's original laid brick front sidewalk was carefully restored using historic bricks to match the history of the home. Inside, the bathrooms remain original — clean, functional, and well-kept — offering the next owner a welcome opportunity to personalize and add value in a home where the heavy lifting is already complete. That's the rare gift of this property: the expensive, behind-the-scenes work is done, leaving you free to focus on the finishes that make a house truly your own.
And the location may be the best part of all. This home sits incredibly close to North Park — Allegheny County's largest park at over 3,000 acres, with its 75-acre lake, walking and biking loops, ice skating rink, tennis and basketball courts, trails, dog parks and more, just minutes from your door. You're roughly 15 minutes from the city, moments from Whole Foods, and right alongside the McCandless Crossing corridor for shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, with quick access to I-279, I-79, and the Turnpike. It's the rare combination of quiet, established neighborhood living with everything you need just around the corner.
