Description

From the covered front porch, enjoy the pulse of Walnut Street with the S. Highland business district, Ellsworth Avenue, restaurants, cafés, shopping, fitness and neighborhood amenities all just steps from your front door.
Custom built in 2008, 717 Filbert Street offers a combination rarely found among Shadyside’s predominantly century-old housing stock. Two adjoining properties were assembled and demolished to create two distinctive residences. The assemblage worked around setback restrictions that would have otherwise applied, allowing each home to be built approximately four feet wider than a typical residence in the area while incorporating wide private driveways. 717 Filbert is one of only two homes on the street offering both a private driveway and integral garage - creating an unusual amount of parking at this location for two cars in the garage, and two cars in the driveway. Two newer Rheem furnaces and two newer AC systems - separately zoned. Tankless hot water heater, whole house water filter, built-in dehumidifier for summer and built-in humidifier for winter.
The all-brick exterior features intricate brick patterns, deep overhangs, rounded windows and Pella windows throughout. The interior was recently comprehensively renovated with all-new flooring, new kitchen and bathrooms, designer textured tile at the entry, Restoration Hardware lighting, rebuilt interior woodwork and solid interior doors.
The state-of-the-art European-inspired kitchen features 2-inch-thick waterfall marble countertops, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, designer cabinetry extending to the ceiling and an externally vented hood. The entire rear of the main living level is lined with Pella glass with automated blinds, overlooking the private courtyard. The main living floor features 10-foot ceilings, while the living room includes a gas fireplace, custom coffered ceiling and glass-railed staircase.
The fully fenced rear courtyard is enclosed by substantial brick walls and features an exposed-aggregate patio, custom pergola with automated tilting louvers and a professionally designed garden planned to provide blooms and seasonal interest throughout the year. By incorporating the garage integrally into the home rather than placing it at the rear of the lot, the design preserved the backyard for a highly functional private outdoor entertaining space.
The primary suite features a spa-inspired bath and custom closet built-ins. Every closet throughout the home has been outfitted with custom storage. Second-floor laundry provides convenient access from the bedroom level, while the third floor offers a private guest suite with an additional full bath.
The lower level includes a theater room, mudroom and access to the extra-deep, heated two-car integral garage with epoxy flooring and electric-vehicle chargers on both sides. Technology recent upgrades include Lutron dimming lighting switches throughout the entire residence, a smart-home security system, exterior cameras, smart thermostats, automated locks on all exterior doors and home automation connected to the garage-door opener.
Unlike many older Shadyside homes, 717 Filbert offers the benefit of newer electrical and plumbing systems and newer sewer lines—without the typical infrastructure concerns of a century-old residence.
The property’s combination of newer high grade construction, private two-car-wide driveway, extra-deep integral two-car garage and substantial rear courtyard would be extremely difficult to recreate in Shadyside today. Duplicating it would require acquiring an existing property or properties, demolition, architectural and engineering work, permitting and approvals, new construction to a comparable standard, and an interior build-out of this caliber. Recreating the same site functionality and level of construction would be extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate today for the same price.
