Step through the looking glass into this whimsical artistic masterpiece, which boasts a premium location on a secluded, oversized lot in the Fox Chapel area and a sophisticated, contemporary interior. Known as the Mirror House among its legions of fans, this elegant multi-level ranch features an open, turnkey interior with 25 skylights and approximately 4,291 square feet, an approx. 800 sq. ft. garage and a private backyard that is reminiscent of a botanical garden. Just like Fallingwater, the house emphasizes the connection between the interior/exterior spaces - this open floor plan home offers hardwood floors, a living room with a fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, and more. Showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of a renowned local artist couple, the home includes a state-of-the-art home theater, a library/home office with a built-in mahogany desk, shelving, and vaulted ceilings, an artist’s studio, and a finished basement that could be a perfect game room/playroom. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the home includes multiple gathering areas and a large formal dining room with vaulted ceilings, mirrored ceilings/walls, and room for a 10-12 person table. Open to a spacious bar area with a built-in hutch, the kitchen boasts stainless counters and commercial-grade appliances, including a six-burner Wolf dual fuel range with a grill/griddle, double ovens, a Miele dishwasher, and a butler’s pantry. With a built-in Subzero glass door refrigerator/freezer, a butcher block center island, and a commercial sink, the kitchen is a highlight of the residence. Offering something for everyone, the home includes generous secondary bedrooms, one of which includes a large retreat/office area with a bay window that provides the view of the woods, and another with a private full bath. The master has a laid-back atmosphere that does not take life too seriously, with distinctive-patterned walls and ceilings, a unique sunken tub, and a walk-in shower. Equally inspiring, the art studio has soaring ceilings and a garage-style door with glass insets that opens to the Zen-like backyard. Other highlights include a newly renovated upstairs laundry room, a newer roof, a newer water heater, new insulation, a new shed, and extensive professional landscaping. A beautiful extension of the living space, the backyard includes a large alfresco dining room, a possible outdoor kitchen with a gas/water line, a deck, and meandering pathways for contemplation/relaxation. Lovingly refined over the course of many years and situated in the Fox Chapel school district, in close proximity to local golf courses, parks, shops, schools, and restaurants, this distinctive, iconic residence makes it possible to live inside a work of art.
