About this home
850 Bockstoce Avenue is a mid-century modern ranch inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian principles, thoughtfully designed around light, natural materials, flow, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Set on a large private lot in the Keystone Oaks School District, this architecturally influenced home blends clean lines, organic textures, and intentional design with extensive modern upgrades, all within close proximity to the Castle Shannon T station.
Built with impressive steel and concrete structural elements, including junior I-beam support, the home was designed with durability, quietness, and longevity in mind while maintaining the warm aesthetic Usonian homes are known for. Cypress siding, expansive horizontal windows, and strong architectural lines create a striking presence while blending naturally into the surrounding greenery. Added insulation beneath the 2024 Cypress siding improves thermal performance, while Cypress itself is naturally insect-resistant.
A true nod to Wright-inspired architecture, the home utilizes a compression-style entry sequence that creates a more intimate arrival experience before opening into the main living space. The sun-filled living area is anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace, stacked stone wall, and oversized windows that frame the surrounding landscape, bringing the outdoors in and reflecting the timeless principles of Usonian architecture. Clerestory windows enhance natural light while maintaining privacy, while new awning-style windows installed in 2024 provide excellent cross-ventilation during milder seasons. Windows and doors in the primary living areas include a fully transferable lifetime warranty.
The main floor offers effortless everyday living with radiant-heated porcelain tile floors finished with epoxy grout for durability, comfort, and easy maintenance. The updated kitchen balances modern functionality with architectural continuity through sleek surfaces, natural wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and seamless flow into the living and dining spaces, as well as the outdoor patio. A custom stained-glass cabinet feature with integrated lighting adds a unique artistic focal point while subtly reflecting the home’s architectural inspiration.
The main level includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms with minimalist design elements and clerestory-style windows that continue the home’s cohesive architectural vision. The finished walk-up lower level expands the living space with exposed beams, a second fireplace, laundry, storage, flexible entertaining areas, and a bonus room ideal for a media lounge, creative studio, guest suite, wellness retreat, home office, or potential AirBnB use. Two additional rooms are currently utilized as a home gym, and an additional full bathroom is located on the lower level.
Outside, the rear patio and expansive yard create a notably private extension of the interior living spaces, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Exterior solar lighting illuminates the property, walkways, and backyard gathering areas into the evening hours. Garage parking and a spacious driveway accommodate up to five vehicles.
Additional updates include a newer roof installed in June 2022, electrical and plumbing improvements, new lighting, fresh interior paint, updated exterior railings, all new windows and doors, and numerous system improvements blending modern efficiency with timeless architectural character.
Location is another standout feature, offering a rare balance of convenience and privacy. Nearby amenities include Shop ’n Save, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, fitness options, Myrtle Avenue Elementary School, Mt. Lebanon Golf Course, Ice Castle Arena, Dormont, Mt. Lebanon, Downtown Pittsburgh, and major commuter routes....
