For those of you not familiar with Pittsburgh, the Villa of North Park is a premier, executive community located less than a mile and a half from North Park's Lake Shore Drive and within a 3,075-acre Allegheny County park. North Park's mission is to enhance the quality of life and well-being of county residents with large, natural green spaces, walking and hiking trails, boating, fishing, golfing, tennis, paddleboarding, tree climbing, swimming, lakeshore dining, dedicated bicycle lanes, and soccer, track and baseball fields. The Villa of North Park is a prestigious sidewalk community with many properties selling above one million dollars-soaring to five million dollars. The Villa offers a blend of elegance and comfort. Neighbors include professionals, captains of industry, and professional athletes.This fine, provincial home sits gracefully on a level cul-de-sac street and is set back from the road. It offers a level driveway and a park-like backyard for privacy. The house has a copper roof over its bay windows and asphalt shingles that were replaced in 2013. As you approach the front door, you are warmly greeted with a magnificent, double-leaded glass French door. The deep and wide entry hall has a Travertine marble floor, a finely crafted curved staircase with turned spindles, and stunning crown molding. This welcoming space has gorgeous six-panel doors and an abundance of closet space. Greet clients and professional colleagues in the private, sunken den with a deep tray ceiling.
