Description

This original, circa 1854, Squirrel Hill farmhouse at 2738 Mount Royal Road was the first house built on the street, on land that was once home to a dairy farm! This gracious 4,506 sq. ft. Victorian refuge is set on a half acre of green space, just off of Beechwood Blvd. near Forward Ave., on a quiet cul-de-sac. The peaceful woodsy setting is only 10 minutes from CMU, Pitt, Google, and area hospitals. Soaring 12 foot ceilings, oversized rooms with decorative mantlepieces, and original oak hardwood...This original, circa 1854, Squirrel Hill farmhouse at 2738 Mount Royal Road was the first house built on the street, on land that was once home to a dairy farm! This gracious 4,506 sq. ft. Victorian refuge is set on a half acre of green space, just off of Beechwood Blvd. near Forward Ave., on a quiet cul-de-sac. The peaceful woodsy setting is only 10 minutes from CMU, Pitt, Google, and area hospitals. Soaring 12 foot ceilings, oversized rooms with decorative mantlepieces, and original oak hardwood flooring abound... The tall windows flood the home with sunlight all day, from sunrise to sunset. From the front of the home, you have a panoramic view of the Monongahela river below. An expansive entry hall welcomes you to the first floor living area, featuring the living room, a light-filled sun room, the large fully equipped modern kitchen with access to a side patio, the formal dining room, and a full bathroom. The sprawling main level also is home to the guest apartment--this ground floor, single level, separate living space is complete with a living room, one bedroom, one full bath, and an equipped eat-in kitchen, with walk-in pantry. Private entry is accessed through an exterior side door, and there is also a separate dedicated entrance off the main entry hall. Perfect for a live-in nanny or an au pair, older kids, grandparents, and out of town guests. Possibilities really are endless, as it is legally zoned as two family dwelling. The utilities are also separated between the main house and the guest apartment, enhancing ease of use. The impressive center hall original staircase carries you to the second floor, featuring 4 huge bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms. The expansive primary bedroom suite offers an enormous walk-in closet, along with a very generous ensuite full bathroom featuring a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, double sinks, lots of storage, and best of all, a wonderful heated floor! A spare room off of the primary suite offers flex space and access to the exterior rear of the home. The home also offers lots of storage space and closets. Plenty of off-street parking on the long driveway leading to the parking pad. The home rests among beautiful mature trees, annuals, and perennials. The change of seasons brings changes in the color palette surrounding this Pittsburgh piece of history...
