few properties in sewickley heights offer grounds as remarkable as this one. designed by benno janssen, the estate sits on more than five acres of park-like landscape, its perfectly symmetrical red brick façade, columned entry, and dormered wings visible from the end of a long cobblestone drive. sculpted trees frame the approach, while broad lawns, an open field, and phenomenal gardens surround the home on nearly every side. eight distinct outdoor entertaining spaces are woven throughout the property, along with a gated carriage house.
french limestone flooring, inlaid with marble, greets visitors in the foyer and continues through the main level′s formal rooms. a sweeping staircase rises beneath double-height ceilings, setting a formal tone that carries into the dining room, where crown molding and french doors open onto the gardens beyond. the living room, warmed by herringbone parquet floors, is similarly framed by symmetrical windows and garden-facing french doors, so that the outdoors is rarely out of view.
a richly paneled office, fitted with custom floor-to-ceiling millwork, offers a quieter retreat. from there, an arched loggia lined in french doors links the great room to the pool terrace, one of the home′s many entertaining spaces, and conceals a hidden bar for effortless gatherings.
the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful: white cabinetry, generous marble counters, and recently updated appliances, including a 36-inch five-burner wolf gas cooktop and a 27-inch kitchenaid double wall oven with illuminated controls. room for casual dining and relaxed seating makes it the home′s natural gathering point.
upstairs, the primary suite unfolds into a private sitting room with expansive windows overlooking the grounds. its marble bath, framed by mirrored walls, includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, while a boutique-style dressing room with mirrored cabinetry completes the suite. three additional bedrooms offer large closets and fully renovated baths.
the lower level is built for both fitness and leisure: a large gym, a stone wine cellar with tasting area, and a flexible space suited to a media room.
outdoors, the estate reveals its full character. arched brickwork on the pool terrace echoes the home′s architectural symmetry, while bluestone patios, manicured plantings, and brick garden walls create a resort-like setting around the pool. a curved stone terrace leads to a built-in circular firepit, a natural gathering point for evening entertaining. across the property, gardens and terraces connect seamlessly, offering some of the finest outdoor living in sewickley heights.
above the three-car garage, a fully finished carriage house functions as a complete secondary residence, with its own kitchen, living room, office, and two bedrooms, ideal for guests, staff, or extended family.
the estate is set minutes from the village of sewickley, downtown pittsburgh, and the airport, and sits just around the corner from allegheny country club.
