This remarkable Queen Anne Victorian is more than a home-it is a legacy property, offering historic significance, architectural beauty, and a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Pittsburgh's past. Prominently situated on a coveted corner lot in the heart of West Shadyside, this distinguished residence features eight bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and approximately 4,751 square feet of living space on an expansive 0.30-acre lot. Built in 1885 and designed by renowned Pittsburgh architect George Orth, the home stands as one of the neighborhood's finest and best-preserved examples of late-19th-century Queen Anne Victorian architecture. Hallmark design elements include a complex roofline, decorative gables, bay windows, intricate masonry, multiple chimneys, and a striking asymmetrical facade. Steeped in Pittsburgh history, the property was the longtime residence of the Spencer family, whose life within the home was later immortalized in the book The Spencers of Amberson Avenue. Beginning in 1968, the home entered a new chapter with the Fairman family, continuing its enduring role in the evolving story of Shadyside. A gracious vestibule adorned with encaustic tile opens to an elegant foyer, while a grand staircase set the tone. Expansive, light-filled rooms unfold throughout the main level, including a spacious living room with a floor-length side door and a distinctive diagonal bay, an elegant formal dining room, and a stately library lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Rich architectural details abound, from oak hardwood floors and operational pocket doors to classic wainscoting, custom built-ins, multiple hand-painted slate mantel fireplaces, and soaring 11-foot ceilings. Beautifully preserved leaded and stained-glass windows fill the home with natural light, while charming hideaway shutters provide exceptional craftsmanship. The bright and inviting kitchen features a sunny breakfast nook and offers direct access to the backyard garden. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a remarkable library and art studio. The third floor-once the servants' quarters-has been thoughtfully reimagined as a private retreat, featuring two comfortable bedrooms, a living room with a cozy nook, and a dedicated wellness space complete with a massage area, yoga space, and a beautifully preserved vintage world map wall that adds charm and peaceful vibes. Outside, the level backyard provides a rare sense of privacy and space, with a beautifully landscaped mature garden and a patio for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. A detached three-car garage is discreetly positioned at the rear of the property. Located on one of Shadyside's most picturesque tree-lined streets, this exceptional residence offers convenient access to renowned schools, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, major universities, world-class medical centers, and everything Pittsburgh's vibrant East End has to offer.
