Welcome to a rare gem in the heart of Sewickley's Village, a historical residence designed by the acclaimed Pittsburgh architects, Rutan and Russell. Not publicly available since 1947, this home is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an important private estate in the heart of Sewickley Village. Built in 1905 as Rutan's personal residence, this majestic home is a testament to architectural brilliance and timeless appeal. Commanding a prestigious position on Woodland Road, the property is a haven of tranquility, yet it lies within an easy amble of the Village's charming shops, restaurants, and amenities.

This picturesque 3.8 acre Village estate exudes a Mediterranean grandeur, is crowned by its original tile roof, a signature of Rutan's designs, which adds an exotic touch with its Oriental lilt, reminiscent of many of Rutan's acclaimed works. The home's facade, a perfect alchemy of stone and stucco, echoes the narratives of its historic inception while affirming its resilient beauty.

Arched porches supported by stout columns offer a serene retreat, harmonizing with the symmetrical design that conveys balance and proportion. The central staircase leads up to the heart of the home, an entryway that is both welcoming and grand, mirroring the windows that offer glimpses of the home's soul. The impressive stone wall that frames the home is not just a boundary but a sculptural element that enhances the home's stately charm, as it sweeps along the perimeter with grace and dignity.

As you step inside, you are greeted by the enduring beauty of original woodwork, a feature cherished since the home was last acquired by a family in 1947, and stunning stained glass windows that cast a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the living and dining rooms. The large kitchen with its butler's pantry awaits a visionary transformation, and six bedrooms along with four full and two half baths suggest ample space for a contemporary lifestyle within a historical tapestry.

The upper-level family room, complete with its own sunroom and convenience kitchenette, invites comfortable living and the versatile space is perfect for relaxation and entertainment. This property is not just a home; it is a canvas awaiting the discerning eye of a buyer who values the grandeur of the past and envisions a future woven with their personal touch.

The inground pool, privately situated and ready for revival, adds to the allure, offering a sanctuary of leisure and potential. Having been modernized several times throughout its lifetime, the estate stands ready for its next incarnation, poised for a curator of history to reinvent this architectural heritage into their bespoke dream home.

With its prestigious location, rich historical roots, and boundless potential, this Sewickley Village estate awaits its next chapter, ready to be transformed by a buyer who values not just luxury, but the narrative threads of history that are woven into the very fabric of its being.
