This property, listed at $3 million by Howard Hanna Realtor Molly Finley, is a true gem hidden within the serene landscapes of Pittsburgh’s upscale borough.
A Grand Entrance: Custom Craftsmanship
As you approach the home, the eight-foot custom Douglas fir front door beckons you into a world of unparalleled craftsmanship. The open floor plan, designed for modern living, maximizes both space and light, boasting more than 100 windows equipped with automated blinds. Finley highlights the uniqueness of this home:
“It’s so different — the style and the fact that it’s new construction in the borough — the two-story wall of windows inside really differentiates it. There’s a lot of glass and a lot of natural light.”
Located at 409 Fox Chapel Road, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly melds modern living with natural beauty.
Architectural Brilliance by Aris Gorges
Designed by Aris Gorges, a former professor at The School of Architecture founded by Frank Lloyd Wright, this home embodies a vision of open and inviting spaces. The intricate details include:
- A custom wall mural in the entryway
- Soaring ceilings with kiln-dried Western red cedar from Washington State
- Timber-framed post-beam construction, offering 360-degree glass views of the surroundings
With tile sourced from Spain adding an exotic touch, the home exudes sophistication at every turn.
Luxury Living with Comfort and Privacy
This five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence spans nearly 6,000 square feet, making it perfect for families of all sizes. The exquisite kitchen features an 11-foot island, and the striking floating staircase is a testament to innovative design. For guests, an additional en suite at the lower level ensures privacy and comfort.
Finley notes:
“What’s special about the home is the additional en suite for visitors, which offers a lot of privacy. Everything is custom. I think someone who wants something different but wants to be in Fox Chapel would love this.”
Modern Amenities: Effortless Living
The home is equipped with four zoned HVAC systems and a 75-gallon hot water tank, guaranteeing instant access to hot water throughout the property. With underground utilities, modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the serene environment.
