there are neighborhoods, and then there is oakhaven.
tucked into the quiet streets of pine township in wexford, this 92-home community has earned a reputation as one of the most coveted addresses in the pine-richland school district. not just for its location, but for the way people actually live here. neighbors walk over to each other′s houses for dinner. a beloved halloween parade winds through the neighborhood to the park, led by the wexford fire truck. adults gather for the 12 toasts, a beloved progressive happy hour that winds through the neighborhood each december. this is a place where people put down roots and stay.
this home sits beautifully within that community, and it was built to stand apart from it.
constructed by jj herbert and sons, one of only a few homes they built in oakhaven, the attention to detail is evident from the moment you arrive. a striking stacked stone wall grounds the family room with an earthy, one-of-a-kind character. walls of anderson e-glass windows, replaced and updated with stunning clarity and exceptional energy efficiency, frame a continuous wooded backdrop from nearly every room. you don′t see another house on either side. just trees, birds, the occasional turkey or deer wandering through.
from the screened-in porch, that connection to nature becomes a way of life. from april through october, this is where coffee is poured in the morning, where meals are shared, where evenings slow down. when the weather turns, fireplaces on every level take over, bringing the same sense of warmth and coziness that makes this home feel like a true sanctuary. sunsets from the front porch close out the day in the best possible way.
the home is as functional as it is beautiful. the fully finished basement offers living space and serious storage, including a room originally designed as a photography darkroom, already plumbed for water and a natural candidate for a kitchenette. a whole-house vacuum system makes everyday living effortless. a whole-house humidifier keeps the air comfortable all winter long.
and when you do want to venture out, everything is within easy reach. walk to oxford athletic club and giant eagle market district. stroll to the oven for pizza and live entertainment or cafe conmigo for a quiet cup of coffee. hike north park in every season. reach downtown pittsburgh quickly via i-79.
this is the home oakhaven buyers wait for.
