Nestled among the trees in one of Squirrel Hill’s premier locations, this stunning contemporary residence offers exceptional privacy and architectural sophistication, discreetly tucked behind a beautiful brick wall. Granite millstones create a striking walkway leading to the dramatic front entrance, where a breathtaking double-height glass wall and an extraordinary lighting fixture once featured at the Duquesne Club set the tone for the home’s refined elegance.
The gracious entry hall opens to a spacious dining room overlooking a sun-drenched living area, creating an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. Adjacent to the dining room, the completely renovated custom kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring exquisite tilework, rich walnut cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, a large pantry, and an eat-in island. Dramatic windows and glass doors seamlessly connect the kitchen to a serene and private rear deck surrounded by nature.
To the left of the entrance hall, a handsome book-lined study provides an elegant home office, while the inviting family room offers a warm and comfortable retreat. Just a few steps below, the expansive living room is flooded with natural light from panoramic windows and skylights, creating an airy, gallery-like atmosphere. A wood-burning fireplace and generous seating areas complete the space.
Upstairs, the generously sized second floor features a spectacular primary suite with soaring ceilings, two oversized walk-in closets, and a dedicated dressing area. The adjacent primary bath serves as a tranquil, light-filled retreat with a double vanity, custom soaking tub, and large glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms, a beautifully appointed hall bath, and a cheerful laundry room complete the second level. The third floor offers a spacious guest suite with its own en-suite bath, while a short flight up, an airy study overlooking the primary suite, provides a unique and inspiring retreat.
Additional highlights include a large and level back yard, a finished basement, a private front courtyard, and a two-car integral garage, all within minutes of the shopping, dining, and cultural amenities that make Squirrel Hill one of Pittsburgh’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
