Listed for $4.9M, Pittsburgh’s Most Expensive Home Boasts a Magnificent Makeover

by

A century-old mansion in Pittsburgh has undergone a serious overhaul. The end result is one of the most expensive single-family homes in the Steel City.

Now on the market for $4.9 million, the stately white house was built in 1920, and has had a few owners over the past century. Some were more attentive than others.

“At one point in the middle 1940s … it was abandoned and really run down,” says co-listing agent, Susan Silversmith with Coldwell Banker Realty. Laura Waxter is the co-listing agent.

Silversmith added that it was purchased in the 1970s by an owner who didn’t exactly buy into the home’s historical significance. That owner lived in the mansion for a few decades until the current owners bought it in 2001. They embarked on a rescue mission to eliminate previous renovations that weren’t exactly period-appropriate.

“It was really 1970s-looking—which was not the right look for the house,” Silversmith says.

The sellers worked on it for over three years, to restore it to its current pristine condition.

“They are perfectionists, and this was truly a labor of love,” she adds.

Now, a gleaming (and calming) white runs throughout the 11,782-square-foot home. You’ll see clean white walls and shiny white limestone floors in the main living areas, as well as in the six bedrooms.

“Each room features a different pattern or texture, put in with the limestone,” Silversmith explains.

Thanks to the neutral palette, any buyers can easily make this mansion their own.

“Whatever your style is, it fits into this house,” the agent notes.

That isn’t to say that everything in the home is humdrum, because it has plenty of decorative touches throughout. Many offer a nod to the house’s history, including stained-glass windows, wrought-iron entry doors, grand staircases, and imposing mantels.

Some original elements have also been preserved.

“Two of the lighting fixtures, one in the living room and one in the dining room, are original to the house,” says Silverstein.

While the home’s past has been honored, a touch of modern style has been incorporated into the mansion.
