Commissioned by Adelaide Burguinn, this historic estate offers timeless craftsmanship on expansive, manicured grounds with a paddock, kennel, and lush lawns. The grand interior features 6+ bedrooms, soaring ceilings, original woodwork, a formal dining room, sunlit Morning Room, and stately Billiard Room. Built for entertaining, this home once hosted a 28-foot Christmas tree as part of its cherished holiday traditions. Signature Alden & Harlow details—such as millwork, symmetry, and scale—are preserved throughout. A rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, this legacy property is ready to be restored to its former grandeur. Located just minutes from Sewickley Village, Quaker Valley Schools, and Downtown Pittsburgh, The Paddock blends prestige, privacy, and potential.
