Description

Some homes impress you with their size, others with their setting, craftsmanship or thoughtful updates. This exceptional Bell Acres home brings all of those elements together, creating a property that feels both spacious and genuinely inviting. Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors, abundant natural light and beautiful architectural details set the tone. Oversized windows bring the outdoors in, while the open, updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home. It flows effortlessly into an enormous dining room with a gas fireplace, creating a spectacular space for everything from intimate dinners to holiday gatherings. It opens to the expansive family room, giving the main level the open, connected feel you want today while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make the home so distinctive. A spacious living room and first-floor powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, five bedrooms provide an incredible amount of space and flexibility. The primary suite includes its own private full bath, while two additional full hall baths serve the remaining bedrooms. Whether the extra rooms become bedrooms, offices, or guest spaces, this is a home designed to adapt beautifully to the way you live. The finished lower level adds yet another dimension, with generous space for relaxing, fitness area, or epic playroom. A dedicated laundry room with generous storage, plus multiple lower-level closets mean there is truly a place for everything. And then there is the property itself. The sprawling, two-tiered backyard feels wonderfully private, with a deck for outdoor dining, a pathway leading to the gazebo and steps descending to an expansive lower lawn. It is the kind of outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find: peaceful, private and large enough for entertaining, playing, gardening or simply enjoying the setting. Tucked into the quiet, wooded surroundings of Bell Acres yet just minutes from the heart of Sewickley, this location offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy a peaceful oasis while remaining close to Sewickley Village's restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences, with easy access to Pittsburgh and the airport. Classic craftsmanship. Modern updates. Exceptional space indoors and out. This is not simply a beautiful house. It is a home that offers a level of space, privacy and livability that is truly something special.
