Approached by a sweeping cobblestone drive, this Benno Janssen–designed estate commands attention with its perfectly symmetrical red brick façade, columned entry, and dormered wings framed by sculpted trees. Expansive lawns and a broad open field set the home in a park-like landscape of over five acres, ensuring both privacy and presence. A gated carriage house completes the grounds. Inside, the foyer introduces elegant French limestone flooring with marble inlays, a design element that flows throughout most of the main level’s formal living spaces. A sweeping staircase and double-height ceilings set a striking tone, leading to the dining room with intricate crown molding and French doors opening to the gardens. The light-filled living room is anchored by herringbone parquet floors and sy mmetrical windows and French doors leading to one of the home’s beautiful gardens. The richly paneled office offers floor-to-ceiling custom millwork, while the arched loggia—lined with French doors—connects to both a great room and the pool terrace. Here, a hidden bar adds an element of surprise and ease for entertaining. The bright, expansive kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, appointed with generous white cabinetry, abundant marble counter space, and recently updated appliances, including a 36-inch five-burner Wolf natural gas cooktop and a 27-inch KitchenAid double wall oven with illuminated controls. With ample space for casual dining and relaxed seating, it serves as a natural gathering place within the home. Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a private sitting room and expansive windows overlooking the grounds. The spa-like marble bath offers dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower, all framed by mirrored walls for a luminous effect. A boutique-style dressing room with extensive mirrored cabinetry completes the retreat. Three additional bedrooms, each with large closets and fully renovated baths, provide luxurious accommodations. The lower level includes a large gym, a stone wine cellar with tasting area, and an adjacent space ideal for a media room. Outdoors, the pool terrace is framed by arched brickwork that mirrors the home’s architectural rhythm. Bluestone patios surround the pool, with manicured plantings, brick garden walls, and open lawn views creating a private, resort-like setting. Just beyond, a curved stone terrace leads to a built-in circular firepit—an inviting focal point for evening gatherings. The carriage house above the three-car garage offers a complete secondary residence with a fully finished lower level, kitchen, living room, office, and two bedrooms—perfect for guests, staff, or extended family. Ideally located in Sewickley Heights, the home is just minutes from the charming Village of Sewickley, downtown Pittsburgh, and the airport, and sits right around the corner from Allegheny Country Club.
