Functional Elegance describes this 12,000 sq. ft. Estate in Pittsburgh’s most desirable school district, Fox Chappel.
OWNER FINANCING IN PLACE
It is nestled on 14 acres of land with a gated private drive and a lease for untapped oil wells. The gas/oil companies related to the Marcellus Shale think that this property could be sitting on black gold and you would get a share of proceeds.
Let me take you on a tour:
FIRST FLOOR: After going up the elegant stairwell the main door opens into a grand foyer. On your left is the drawing room to receive formal visitors and on your right is the formal dining room. These rooms reflect opulence fitting this mansion. When you move into the formal living room you notice that the ceiling rises a full stories and you can see the balcony for the 2nd floor. There is good flow toward the main kitchen and breakfast nook to your left. Of course there is a “dirty kitchen” beside it for when you wish to cook the more aromatic foods. Further on are the mud room, laundry room and 3 car garage. To the right of the living room is the guest room. (all the bedrooms have ample closets and full baths) Further on that side of the house is the master suite which includes an office, the bedroom, a dressing room, a huge a walk in closet and master bath with shower, soaking tub, double sinks and bidet.
