Fox Chapel European Country House

This romantic home in the suburbs of Pittsburgh brings to mind the enchanting cottages of storybook tales. At the end of the entry court, the stout scale of the guest house provides a contrast to the light timber framing of the port-cochere. Gas lanterns light the charming entry alcove where an artfully crafted mahogany door stands waiting to reveal the magic within. Inside the study, you’re immediately set at ease by the comfortable furniture surrounded by rich custom cabinetry displaying collectibles and memorabilia.

Dark timbers add a touch of drama to the cathedral ceiling of a sitting room that flows freely into the kitchen. The elegant custom kitchen, while spacious, surrounds you like a hug with its glowing under-cabinet lighting and rich hardwood floors. The same air of luxury is ever-present in the beautiful mahogany-lined library. The dark timber beams carry through into the first floor master bedroom with lofty, uplit plank ceilings and large bow window.
