Gilded Age Beauty: Legendary Grandview Estate in Pittsburgh Wants $2.8M

The Gilded Age beauty at 223 Grandview Ave. in Pittsburgh is on the market for the first time in over 30 years. The price is $2,799,900.

They don’t call it “Grandview” for nothing—the next owners will enjoy one-of-a-kind city views right from the front porch.

“The property is situated on the largest lot on the legendary Grandview Avenue, which offers breathtaking views of downtown Pittsburgh,” says listing agent Heather Kaczorowski. “It’s one of the most famous and sought-after locations in all of Western Pennsylvania.”

The home was built in 1874 by George Noble, a local businessman, on what was then known as High Street. It remains the oldest single-family home on the avenue.

But this 4,000-square-foot home is prized for more than its location. It’s also in flawless condition.

From the 14-foot ceilings and original hardwood floors to the high-end kitchen appliances, and even the antique iron fountain now surrounded by a lush garden, the property has been meticulously and lovingly maintained.

“The main floor consists of a library enhanced with gold leafing, a living room with one of the estate’s four working fireplaces, and a large dining room adorned with antique mirrors,” Kaczorowski says.

The second floor holds four spacious bedrooms and two of the 3.5 baths. On the underground level, a garden room with atrium-style windows looks out onto the newly landscaped garden and outdoor kitchen. The outdoor space also includes a heated pool and a two-car garage.

“The breathtaking front door is original to the home, and mounted on either side hang two oversized, hand-forged, gilded lanterns that will completely steal your attention,” Kaczorowski says.

These light fixtures are part of a larger collection of 38 chandeliers and sconces that were sourced from around the world.
