Perched high on Mt. Washington with a front-row seat to Pittsburgh’s skyline, the townhouse at 304 Bigbee St. delivers sweeping views and soaring ceilings, just steps from Grandview Avenue.
The three-bedroom with two full and two half bathrooms also boasts hardwood floors and an expansive open floor plan designed for entertaining, said Kelly Frey, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty.
“It is majestic and it lives grand with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows,” said Frey, who has lived on Mt. Washington. “Even on a gloomy day, there is so much natural light. It is joy-filled and so private.”
The townhouse is on the market for $1,225,000.
Tucked in a private townhome community back from Grandview Avenue, it is in the middle of three townhouses. It has a gourmet kitchen with dual islands and a floating staircase with cable railing. The three-story townhome with an attached garage was built in 2008.
The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet.
From the primary bedroom, you can wake up and feel like you are in the clouds with a view of the city, Frey said.
“My first impression when I walked in was how spacious this place is,” she said.
One of its unique features is a three-floor elevator. Frey noted that it can be used for everything from bringing in groceries to aging in place to allowing a family member with special needs to have access to all floors. She said that many times, too many steps can deter a client from buying a home.
“The elevator is a big selling point,” Frey said. “You can buy this and stay forever.”
A glass floor creates a view into the lower-level space. Outside, there is a private courtyard.
“The front porch presents the perfect setting for savoring those twinkling city lights,” Frey said. “This is a home you’ll never want to leave. I could see someone enjoying this home by the Fourth of July for the fireworks.”
