About this home
On one of Shadyside’s most distinguished residential streets, 703 Saint James offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pittsburgh’s architectural legacy. Built circa 1900, this grand brick residence reflects the scale, permanence, and craftsmanship of the city’s Gilded Age, with details that feel increasingly impossible to replicate today.
From the moment you enter, the home tells a story. Original Tiger’s Eye White Oak floors, substantial moldings, built-in cabinetry, high ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace create a sense of warmth and refinement throughout. The proportions are generous, the rooms are gracious, and the layout offers the kind of flexibility that makes a historic home feel beautifully relevant for modern life.
The kitchen is both functional and striking, anchored by a Viking Professional 36” six-burner range and surrounded by excellent storage and workspace. It is easy to imagine this as the center of the home: a place for cooking, conversation, entertaining, and gathering.
The main-level primary suite is spacious and private, featuring a large bedroom, walk-in closet, additional closet space, and an en-suite bath with a smart toilet and bidet. Three additional large bedrooms offer room for family, guests, or creative use. Newly added stairs now provide convenient access to the second-floor bedrooms and bath, enhancing the home’s flow and livability.
For those who work from home, the residence offers two exceptional office spaces. One includes a private balcony and sound-dampening door, creating a peaceful retreat for focused work. The other features built-in cabinetry and an attached half bath, making it ideal as a study, library, or executive office.
Thoughtful updates have been completed throughout, including new windows, new carpet, new blinds, re-grouted kitchen and bathroom tile, an updated electrical panel, a new second-floor HVAC system in 2023, and a new main-floor HVAC system in 2025. The front office was also updated with a new patio door and private deck in 2024. Additional storage is available in the basement, and the unit includes a one-car garage space. HOA includes: Monthly Gardner, Snow Removal, Window Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning/Clearing, Routine Repairs (Roof Repair, plumbing issues, etc.), HOA Insurance Policy
Set within one of Pittsburgh’s most beloved neighborhoods, this home is tucked away from the energy of Walnut Street and Ellsworth Avenue, yet just minutes from Shadyside’s restaurants, boutiques, universities, hospitals, and downtown. Historic, elegant, and remarkably livable, 703 Saint James is a home with presence, provenance, and soul....
