ONE OF A KIND TREASURE IN FOX CHAPEL! Exquisite attention to artistic and historical detail - the owners lovingly and laboriously brought this home back to its magnificent origin of the 1920's. The heartwarming family room has an original beamed ceiling, built in shelving, prohibition hidden bar, brick gas log fireplace, and a winding back staircase. French doors open to an expansive patio, offering a covered eating area and a handsome stone fireplace; overlooking a lovely grassy courtyard surrounded by Ezra Stiles designed stone walls, with a serene pond and fountain. The living room is anchored by a gas log fireplace with an original extraordinary mantel of wrought iron and wood, and accented by exceptional exposed original black molded tile window sills - also present in the adjacent stylish powder room and in the kitchen. The kitchen and dining area are both purely functional and exceptionally beautiful - from the Blue Star Limited Edition range, to the custom cabinetry, to the soapstone counters and sink, to the bird's eye maple built-ins surrounding the dining area. The second floor includes an en-suite bedroom with a stunning bathroom, decorative fireplace, access to an upper deck (where you feel like you're in a tree house), and an adjoining bedroom with a winding staircase to the family room. An additional two bedrooms and hall bathroom complete the second floor. The lower level includes the laundry area, a den/office/guest room/exercise room with a full bathroom, and a utility/workroom. There is an integral one car garage and an additional one and a half car garage with workbench and storage. The extraordinary private property is accessed by a gated governor's driveway, with entire property deer fencing. Lovely gardens and paths wander through the property with perennials and wildflowers, and are serviced by an extensive sprinkler system. The building built as a chicken coop topped by a slate roof to match the house, would make an ideal child's playhouse or garden shed. Gas lanterns and outdoor lighting accentuate the property. Remodeling and renovations have been overseen by Peter Perkins, a renown builder in the area. The superb location provides easy access to the East End, Oakland or Downtown. If you're looking for updated historic charm, unique; in a beautiful naturalized private setting with a close in location -- this is it! THIS TRULY IS AN OASIS IN THE MIDST OF THE ORIGINAL FOX CHAPEL BOROUGH.
