The view from the second-floor landing above the great room looks out through six floor-to-ceiling windows onto a picturesque backyard.
You can spot a gazebo, koi pond and plenty of green space.
“This home allows the outside in with the floor-to-ceiling windows,” said Lynn Niman, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, The Preferred Realty. “There is no separation from interior and exterior, which is nice. It is as dramatic from the rear as it is from the front. This home is classic and elegant.”
She’s referring to the residence at 200 Staffordshire Place in Fox Chapel. It’s on the market for $2,495,000.
A custom-built Colonial in 2010, it’s one of the newer homes in this section of Fox Chapel.
Located on a private, 3.61-acre lot, it has a circular drive in front with plenty of parking for guests. The house is set back from the road. It has five bedrooms and four and one-half bathrooms.
Opening the front door, the marble inlay flooring is a dramatic entrance, Niman said.
An exquisite chandelier hangs above.
The home has an open floor plan. The great room has a working gas/log fireplace. A den is located to one side and on the other is a spacious kitchen with a large center island and a nearby glass table-top bar. The stove, double oven, freezer, and refrigerator are Viking appliances. There are two dishwashers, three sinks and a walk-in pantry.
A wine nook is steps away from the dining room.
On the first floor are a laundry room and a half bathroom with a glass sink, vertical tile and a vanity that has a stone look.
Downstairs, the owners added a home theater with motorized seats and a popcorn machine and a large screen. The carpet has a movie-themed design with images of reels and tickets and comedy and tragedy masks.
On the second floor, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and full bathroom with a glass shower and jet-spray tub — from which there is an amazing view. Four bedrooms have balconies.
There is a two-car integral garage that is versatile to be used as a home gym, workshop, or studio, Niman said, and a four-car attached garage with a high ceiling and electric vehicle charging station.
Outside there are patios, an outdoor grill and a water feature that runs into a koi pond that is stocked. A sound system, lighting and a gazebo create a space for entertaining.
There is plenty of room for gardening.
“There is lots of foliage and tall trees,” Niman said. “The landscaping is just beautiful. It’s spectacular. This house has amenities people are looking for.”
