This charming red brick Greek Revival-style home in Edgeworth, originally built in 1856 on just under 1 acre, features a har-tru tennis court with a wrought iron pergola, perfect for viewing matches in the shade. A path leads to the koi pond and exterior patio, ideal for al fresco dinners.
The original entry of this home opens to a grand foyer, flanked by an expansive living room featuring two wood-burning fireplaces and two built-in leaded glass cabinets along with a cozy study with its own fireplace and large windows. Hardwood floors run throughout the first floor, and generous moldings are accentuated by 12-foot ceilings. The dining room, highlighted by a built-in lighted cabinet and a stunning fireplace, leads to a handsome butler's pantry, ideal for storage and buffets. This area flows into the breakfast room, which boasts a corner banquette looking out onto the patio and gardens. The kitchen, situated just off the mudroom that also includes a laundry area, is perfect for any culinary enthusiast. The stove, set into a brick alcove with a beautifully carved wooden mantel, serves as a focal point for the room, embodying both style and substance. Substantial concrete countertops provide ample workspace and contribute to the kitchen's robust and timeless aesthetic.
The wide front staircase wraps around, showcasing the original stained-glass window. Just off the landing are two generously sized bedrooms and a hall bathroom. The corridor leads to two additional bedrooms, each with beautifully updated ensuite bathrooms, as well as a dressing room. The third floor offers versatile space, featuring three rooms, a hall bathroom, and a large cedar closet, suitable for multiple uses.
The graveled governor's driveway adds charm, as does the coveted second-floor balcony overlooking the garden. With a spacious two-car garage and a large open area between the original front of the home and tennis court, this home combines classic elegance with modern amenities, creating an inviting and picturesque retreat just 1 mile to the Sewickley Village and under a 20 minute drive to the airport.
