About this home
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 residence. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a dramatic open floor plan, a striking see-through central staircase, and a full rear wall of glass that opens seamlessly to create true indoor-outdoor living. This one-of-a-kind home was rebuilt from the exterior 4 walls in, with every new joist and stud meticulously replaced to deliver a clean, modern, and relaxed lifestyle culminating in 3,951 square foot of living over 3 floors plus an additional 1,007 usable square feet in the clean/dry 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 cabinetry, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, and a full-height solid quartz backsplash. High-end appliances include a Thermador refrigerator/freezer with custom panel fronts, double Bosch convection ovens, Bosch induction cooktop, and a near-silent Bosch dishwasher. Thoughtful details such as tall pantries to hide microwaves and mixers, deep pull-out drawers for plates and pots, dual sinks, a dedicated bar area with ledge and table elevate both the kitchen's form and function. On the second floor, an open office area welcomes you to the owner’s full level suite, including an expansive 26x17 bedroom, a spa-like 9x4.5 steam shower, a soaking tub, and an impressive 16x13 walk-in closet. The third floor includes two immense ensuite bedrooms connected by a large central family room and a computer station. This flexible floor plan allows for a fourth bedroom with some slight changes (ask the Seller). Outside in the rear patio you'll find a private oasis, complete with a lush ivy wall, perennial planters, fire pit, hot tub, and dedicated grilling area—perfect for relaxing or entertaining on a warm Pittsburgh evening. Additional features include zoned heating and cooling, a green driveway for 1 car, a 3 year old roof and owned solar panels. 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....
