3340 Longbow Dr Pittsburgh, PA 15235

Listing details for 3340 Longbow Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15235 : Mid-Century Craftsmanship, natural materials and wooded acreage make for an enchanting home. Nestled between the cul-de-sac and forest the meticulously hand-crafted details of this dwelling tell their own story. Stone, red wood, large windows, iron, slate, hardwood, built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace bring the outdoors in. The original owner's precision and artistry show through with stained glass side lites, washing color over the slate entry. Another favorite detail is the conveniently-placed powder room, concealed by a wooden door that blends into the wall. The living room is the soul of the house: a white brick fireplace beneath a copper canopy, the built-in wood bookcase and a large window wall bring the outdoors in. The updated kitchen opens from here, with shaker cabinetry, a granite island, gas range, stainless appliances, floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets and windows looking out into the trees and peaking toward the greenhouse. The separate dining room has original hardwood and broad windows that frame the forest in every season. All three bedrooms are on one level. The primary includes a walk-in closet with attic access and an en-suite bath with a double vanity and its own woodland view. The bedrooms include clerestory windows that look up to open sky and provide flexibility for furniture arranging to create a home office, art studio, guest room or reading retreat. The hall bath is pure 1950s, with mint-green tile and a pedestal sink, an original rarely found intact today. Off the house is a true attached greenhouse with potting benches, a utility sink, power and a door straight inside from the entry/kitchen area. Step outside to snip your herbs for the season's soups and stews so you can eat fresh all year. The walk-out lower level adds large game room, a wood-paneled flex room, a half bath, a laundry room with a utility sink and an enclosed utility room. Three lit closets, 1 lined in cedar, hold seasonal clothing and holiday decor. In fact, many of the closets include an automatic light when the door opens. The garage ceilings and (wo)man doors have already been brought up to today's code. The included home warranty and updates (roof, sewer line, A/C unit, kitchen, garage ceiling & doors) give you peace of mind. The woods give you peace and quiet.
