Located on more than an acre in the heart of Fox Chapel Borough, this elegant, fully renovated trophy home makes a statement. The dramatic, soft contemporary exterior is balanced by the lush, verdant hues of the surrounding landscape, a secluded, professionally-designed oasis that makes it feel as if the home is in a remote location, though it is nearby Fox Chapel Golf Club, local parks, schools and restaurants. Equally impressive, the beautifully renovated interior boasts hardwood floors in most of the rooms, an expansive lower level and a bespoke gourmet kitchen with distinctive dark gray quartz counters. An atrium-style foyer with two story ceilings, a multi-tiered entertaining deck and a large separate dining room with a crystal chandelier make the home perfect for hosting friends and family; multiple staircases provide a convenient lifestyle. Vaulted ceilings, picture windows and uninterrupted sight lines allow natural light to disperse throughout the interior. The kitchen is the hub of the home, as it is open to a large sitting room with a fireplace and exposed beam ceilings. Overlooking the backyard, the kitchen has designer fixtures, a large center island and commercial-grade appliances, including a Blue Star refrigerator, a wine fridge and a six burner Thermador convection oven. A set of glass doors nearby connect to the expansive private deck and large covered dining area. Casual occasions are enhanced by a family room with a wood stove and hardwood ceilings, a covered lower patio/deck and two large rec rooms, one of which has a built-in dog wash and sink, and another that has a storage closet. The appeal continues in the upper level master suite, as it has a large retreat/reading loft illuminated by two skylights, a private balcony, vaulted ceilings, a jetted tub, a separate shower, walk-in closet and linen closet. The secondary master/fifth bedroom/possible home office is also on the top floor. Features include a fully updated bath with slate tile and a decorative backsplash, a birdwatching/reading alcove with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a separate staircase that leads to the family room. Other highlights include large secondary bedrooms, a new roof, solar panels, recessed lighting and designer paint throughout, all new Trex decking, and an attached garage with new doors. With a secluded, peaceful setting that virtually eliminates the need for window treatments, easy access to all the amenities of Fox Chapel and a well-planned interior that can easily serve the needs of multiple generations, this could be a treasured family home for years to come.
