Overview

Beyond the flagstone path and up the worn brick steps, a gabled Tudor peeks through the trees—a house that feels not just historic, but storied. Nestled in the heart of Schenley Farms, this 1940 Tudor Revival offers a rare combination: architectural soul and a location at the very center of Pittsburgh’s cultural, academic, and medical heartbeat.

Inside, it’s a home that speaks softly but with presence. Arched wood doorways and curved millwork guide you through rooms filled with natural light and purpose. Hardwood floors stretch beneath your feet, while leaded glass windows and mosaic-tiled details reflect the care of another era. The living room, anchored by a decorative fireplace and built-in bookshelves, opens through French doors to a formal dining room—perfect for gathering, or simply lingering in quiet.

The kitchen has been updated with intention: custom wood cabinetry and paneled appliances blend seamlessly into the home’s story, while bright countertops and a cheerful breakfast nook bring lightness and ease. Through another set of French doors, a flagstone patio and terraced garden wait—tucked under mature trees, private, and inviting.

Upstairs, the primary suite is both simple and grand, with gleaming hardwood floors, a handsome decorative fireplace, and a terra cotta-tiled en-suite bath. Two more bedrooms offer space for family or guests, but the second-floor study is something altogether different. Lined with built-in bookshelves and cloaked in dark wood paneling beneath arched, beamed ceilings, it feels like a scene from an old novel—complete with a cozy fireplace and a hushed stillness that invites imagination.

A two-car garage and additional driveway parking add practical ease, but it’s the neighborhood that sets this home apart. Just moments from the Carnegie Museums, Pitt and CMU campuses, UPMC hospitals, and the green lawns of Schenley Park, this is a place where history, beauty, and convenience quietly coexist.

More than a house, this is a space that tells a story—one of craftsmanship, elegance, and timeless Pittsburgh character.
