Historic Pittsburgh Home on Observatory Hill For Sale

The Dan Kite Team. 412-367-3200. Step back in time with this historic stone villa home located in Pittsburgh's Observatory Hill.

Built by the Hack family in 1906-1907, the interior of this home reflects the wealth of the original owners.

Once inside you'll immediately notice one of the most striking features of the house. Standing at 6 1/2 feet high and 4 1/2 feet wide, a gorgeous Rudy Brothers Stained-Glass window featuring a dramatic expressionistic castle scene let's in plenty of sunlight and even changes colors throughout the day. This window was recently restored and brought back to the home after being lost for twenty years.

Exceptional craftsmanship is one phrase you'll be saying to yourself as you walk through each of the rooms. From the original Tiger-Oak flooring to the cherry columns which gives a rich warm appearance, this home won't disappoint.

Cherry ionic columns separate the entry from the living room (which was originally the music room) with the original chandeliers in both rooms.

The modern kitchen is updated with cherry cabinets and hand-painted Mexican terra cotta floor tiles. Granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and tiled walls complete the amenities.

When it's time to serve your meals, you can head into the large formal dining room which features gleaming hard wood floors, large windows which allow plenty of outside light, and a beautiful chandelier which adds to the elegance of this room. For added ambiance, the dining room includes a warm gas fireplace and built in shelving for your fine china.

Pocket doors separate the dining room from the large formal living room which featured gorgeous hard wood floors and a beautiful leaded glass window.

When it's time to relax, walk up the finely crafted wood staircase to the large bedrooms or the comfortable family room which includes high ceilings and hardwood flooring. The main bathroom was updated with lovely tile on the walls and floor, and an elegant pedestal sink.

Downstairs features an added room in the basement which includes a free standing fireplace, slate flooring and two cedar walls and ceiling. There's also a convenient workshop, extra storage area and an incredible full bath. This added bath features a heated floor, a jet tub with a regular shower head as well as a rain shower head on the ceiling. It was also finished with designer wall tiles and marble on both the walls and floor. This bathroom is something you must see.

When it's time to entertain, you'll appreciate the added space in the back yard. Fire up the barbecue or just sit and relax with your guests. And parking isn't a problem with this home since it includes a two car detached garage.
