Much more than meets the eye, this architecturally distinctive contemporary offers impressive space, clean lines, and thoughtful updates throughout. Inside, a welcoming tiled foyer opens to engineered hardwood flooring that flows throughout the main living areas, adding warmth and cohesion. Vaulted ceilings in the primary living space create an airy, open feel, enhancing both the natural light and architectural character of the home. The thoughtfully designed layout offers privacy and flexibility. The primary suite—also featuring vaulted ceilings—includes its own balcony, creating a peaceful retreat separate from the additional three bedrooms and full hall bath. Expansive windows and updated patio doors invite in natural light while framing sweeping panoramic views. Recent improvements include newer windows (excluding kitchen and dining room) and an updated front entry door for added efficiency and style. The lower level expands the living space even further with a spacious family room boasting vaulted ceilings and a dramatic stone wall fireplace (never used and conveyed as-is). Sliding doors lead to a charming covered porch, offering yet another outdoor space to relax. An additional 10x10 bonus room provides excellent flexibility for storage, a playroom, workout area, hobby space, or home office. Over $50K in structural enhancements have been completed at the rear of the home, along with the installation of a French drain system for added stability and long-term water management. A retaining wall and parking pad enhance both curb appeal and everyday convenience.Multiple outdoor living areas are ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation, and the two-car garage offers ample storage and workspace - cannot be accessed. Just minutes from I-376 and downtown Pittsburgh, this home blends architectural style, meaningful upgrades, and everyday livability in one compelling package.
