What's special
From the moment you arrive, you'll picture yourself living in this beautifully updated, original-owner home. Lush, meticulously maintained gardens create an inviting, park-like setting, and the fragrant lavender and colorful perennial teardrop island add charm as you enter. Located in sought after McMurray Highlands, this home has it all – location and amenities inside and out including a level driveway and level backyard. Inside, the updated home reflects exceptional care and thoughtful updates. The impressive two-story foyer is a welcoming entry for guests, with a convenient coat closet nearby. Just off the foyer, the well-appointed den is ideal for working, studying, or relaxing, with a boxed ceiling, wainscoting, Venetian plaster walls, custom built-ins, and French doors that bring in natural light while keeping the space quiet and private. Designed for easy living and entertaining, the circular floor plan creates a wonderful flow throughout the main level. The living room features a bay window with tall windows that fill the space with morning light, while the adjacent dining room offers crown and picture molding and lovely backyard views. The updated eat-in chef’s kitchen will delight any cook, with abundant cabinetry, buffet area for serving, large center island for gathering, Dacor double ovens, a five-burner gas cooktop with lighted downdraft vent, golden crystal granite, and a glass tile backsplash. The adjoining family room is equally inviting, with a cathedral ceiling, cozy fireplace, and reading nook beside custom built-in bookcases. Its generous size allows for flexible furniture arrangements, and the floor-to-ceiling window at the rear staircase adds natural light and a peaceful side-yard view, perfect for relaxing. Three doors from the kitchen and family room open to the patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A spacious laundry room with cabinetry, new washer and dryer, plus an organized closet and access to the three-car attached garage, complete the main level. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with outstanding storage. Three large closets on the second-floor landing are just the beginning, with every closet on the main living levels outfitted with custom organizers. The serene primary suite features a vaulted ceiling and calming blue tones. The renovated spa-like primary bath has a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, Grohe fixtures, heated floors, a heated towel bar, illuminated mirrors, and two walk-in California Closets that coordinate beautifully with the cabinetry. The three additional bedrooms are generously sized, each with a walk-in organized closet, and sharing two updated full baths. The finished lower level offers excellent flexible space for movie nights, a home office, game tables, and the ping pong table included in the sale. Durable commercial-grade carpet adds practicality, and storage is abundant with four closets, a workroom, and a large storage area for seasonal items and hobbies. Outside, the intimate backyard is a true retreat. The travertine patio stays cool underfoot on warm days, the awning provides shade from the afternoon sun, and the gas fire feature makes evenings especially enjoyable. A classic pergola, with hops climbing one corner, adds visual interest, charm and character to this relaxing outdoor space. The yard is fully sprinklered for convenience. Located in desirable McMurray Highlands, this updated home offers both beauty and convenience and new: washer/dryer, front door, AC, and Pella Architectural windows. With easy access to Peters Township dining/shopping and the Public Library, tennis courts, Montour Trail, South Hills Village, and the Trolley. As a bonus, the sale includes a Rose Garden Pool bond, that once transferred will let you enjoy the pool and meet new friends! Don’t miss this opportunity!
