House with garden and terrace Sewickley (United States)
Perched just above Sewickley Village on a long, tree-canopied private drive, this extraordinary residence occupies one of the area's most coveted addresses — defined by towering hardwood canopy, formally composed grounds, and an almost otherworldly sense of privacy. The original Cape Cod bones are impeccable — painted brick, steep natural slate roof, arched eyebrow dormers, stone chimney, and a signature arched front door with a circular porthole window that sets a tone of quiet architectural distinction from the moment you arrive. The great bluestone courtyard — set in a manicured grass-joint grid and anchored by an ornamental fountain framed by pillar gateposts with classical urn planters — opens to a flat level lawn, perennial borders, flowering dogwood, and a lit garden path and lush understory plantings. The rear terrace, enclosed by an ornate cast-iron railing with fleur-de-lis detailing and elevated above the garden with sweeping treetop views, functions as a covered outdoor living and dining room under a wide awning — connected directly to the living room through full-height black-framed French doors. Inside, walls and columns have been removed to create a sweeping open plan of entry, dining, kitchen, and living, all unified by pale, wide-plank white oak flooring and precisely placed recessed lighting. Every light in the home — interior and exterior — is controlled through a fully integrated Control4 smart lighting system, allowing the entire property to be managed from a single device or automated by scene, time of day, or occupancy; from setting the perfect ambiance in the living room to illuminating the garden path at dusk, it is the kind of effortless, whole-home control that quietly elevates daily life. The kitchen is executed in flat-panel quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry with matte black hardware, thick marble countertops, and a generous center island. A dramatic oversized black-framed picture window above the sink frames an unobstructed view of the tree canopy. A professional Viking range anchors the cooking wall beneath a custom hood set against a full marble slab backsplash. The living room is a room of remarkable proportion and light, with multi-paned windows on three sides and a wood-burning fireplace clad in honed limestone as its centerpiece. A refined powder room features a floating dark stone vanity, vessel sink, and backlit split-face stone tile surround. The sculptural open staircase — dark oak treads, white risers, custom blackened steel balustrade — connects all three levels and is genuinely beautiful from every angle. Upstairs, two private ensuite bedrooms each benefit from the home's signature vaulted ceilings and arched dormer windows. The second bedroom suite features its own fully renovated bath with a floating gloss-lacquer vanity and glass-enclosed tub/shower. The primary suite is a world unto itself — expansive, serene, and architecturally rich, entered through double doors with a seamless wall of floor-to-ceiling gloss white panels that conceals a hidden door to the spa-caliber bath and walk-in closet beyond. The bath features large-format charcoal tile, a monumental floating double-sink vanity with integrated trough top, wall-mounted gunmetal cross-handle fixtures, a backlit full-width LED mirror, and a frameless glass shower. A slender black-framed glass door separates the bath from the custom walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry, open shoe shelving, and a vaulted ceiling following the roofline. The lower level is a revelation: a fully realized multi-room space with a custom dry bar and wine refrigerator, media room, and a suite with its own full bath that currently operates as an executive home office — accessed through dramatic black-framed glass French doors and filled with natural light. A mudroom with direct garage access and an attached two-car garage complete the package. Minutes from Sewickley Village's boutique shops, restaurants, and more.
