Description

Set on one of West Shadyside’s most sought-after streets, this classic New York–style brownstone has been completely re-imagined into a show-stopping, California-inspired contemporary. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a dramatic open floor plan, a striking see-through staircase, and a full wall of glass that opens entirely, creating true indoor-outdoor living. This one-of-a-kind home was rebuilt from the exterior four walls in, with every new joist and stud meticulously replaced to deliver a clean, modern, and relaxed lifestyle, totaling 3, 591 sq. ft. of living plus an additional 1, 007 sq. ft. of usable roughed-in basement. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and solid ash flooring throughout enhance the sense of space, light, and architectural sophistication. The luxury chef’s kitchen is designed for entertaining, featuring sleek low-profile hardware, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, and a full-height solid quartz backsplash. Thoughtful details such as tall pantries for hiding microwaves and mixers, deep pull-out drawers for plates and pots, dual sinks, and a dedicated bar area, complete with drink ledge, elevate both the kitchen's form and its function. High-end appliances include a Thermador Freedom refrigerator/freezer with custom panel fronts, double Bosch convection ovens, Bosch induction cooktop, and Bosch Silent dishwasher. On the second floor, an open office area welcomes you to the owner’s level, including an expansive 26x17 bedroom, a spa-like 9x4.5 steam shower with dual rainfall shower heads, a free-standing soaking tub, and an impressive 16x13 walk-in dressing room. The third floor includes two immense ensuite bedrooms connected by a large central family room and a computer work/play station. The family room was designed to easily convert to a 4th bedroom; ask Seller for details. Outside in the rear patio, you'll find a private oasis, complete with a lush ivy wall, perennial planters, hot tub, and dedicated grilling area. Additional features include zoned heating and cooling, a 1-car green parking pad, a 3-year-old roof, and owned solar panels. Lower level private entrance creates opportunity for in-law or au-pair apartment conversion. Located by Walnut Street’s premier shopping and dining, just blocks from Carnegie Mellon University and only 4 miles to downtown Pittsburgh—this is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive, design-forward home in one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods. *Owner is a licensed PA real estate agent.
