Few estates in Sewickley Heights compare to this one. Designed by Benno Janssen, the residence commands more than five acres of park-like grounds, approached by a cobblestone drive lined with sculpted trees and opening to a perfectly symmetrical red brick façade, columned entry, and dormered wings. Phenomenal gardens and eight distinct outdoor entertaining spaces surround the home, from formal lawns to a private carriage house behind its own gates. Step inside and the scale is immediate: French limestone flooring with marble inlays runs beneath double-height ceilings, where a sweeping staircase anchors the main level. The dining room's crown molding and French doors open straight onto the gardens; the living room's herringbone parquet floors and symmetrical French doors do the same, so that every formal room stays connected to the grounds outside. A richly paneled office is fitted with custom floor-to-ceiling millwork. Beyond it, an arched loggia lined in French doors leads to the great room and out to the pool terrace, with a hidden bar built in for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is a showpiece in its own right: white cabinetry, expansive marble counters, and pro-grade appliances, including a 36-inch five-burner Wolf gas cooktop and a 27-inch KitchenAid double wall oven, all built for both daily life and serious entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own retreat, with a private sitting room, a marble spa bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, and a boutique-style dressing room. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closets and fully renovated baths. The lower level rounds out the home with a large gym, a stone wine cellar with tasting area, and flexible space for a media room. Outside is where the estate truly sets itself apart. Arched brickwork frames the pool terrace, bluestone patios and manicured gardens create a resort-like setting, and a curved stone terrace leads to a built-in circular firepit, an unmistakable focal point for evening gatherings. Gardens and terraces unfold continuously across the property, making this one of the most exceptional outdoor settings in Sewickley Heights. Above the three-car garage, a fully finished carriage house offers a complete second residence, with its own kitchen, living room, office, and two bedrooms, ideal for guests, staff, or extended family. Minutes from the Village of Sewickley, downtown Pittsburgh, and the airport, and just around the corner from Allegheny Country Club, this is a rare offering in one of the region's most coveted enclaves.

The Paddock is a rare architectural treasure and an extraordinary opportunity to thoughtfully restore a true piece of Pittsburgh history. It is the only remaining Sewickley Heights residence designed by Alden & Harlow, the renowned architects behind the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Duquesne Club. Commissioned by Adelaide Burguinn, this estate was built with enduring quality, proportion, and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today. Behind its stately presence lies the chance to steward a landmark property and shape its next chapter with vision and intention. Set privately on expansive manicured grounds in Sewickley Heights, the property offers sweeping lawns, a paddock, kennel, and mature trees that create natural privacy while remaining minutes from Sewickley Village, Quaker Valley Schools, and Downtown Pittsburgh. Inside, more than six bedrooms and gracious entertaining spaces reflect the signature Alden and Harlow style. Soaring ceilings, extraordinary millwork, balanced symmetry, and remarkable scale define the interiors. The formal dining room, sunlit Morning Room, and stately Billiard Room recall an era when homes were designed for meaningful gatherings and lasting traditions, including the unforgettable hosting of a twenty eight foot Christmas tree in the grand hall. For buyers who value substance as much as beauty, significant recent improvements provide confidence moving forward. The sellers have installed a brand new roof along with new gutters and downspouts, and the septic system is being updated. The structural integrity is present. The setting is exceptional. The opportunity is clear. In a marketplace where so much feels newly built yet lacking character, The Paddock offers architectural pedigree, privacy, and the rare ability to personalize a historic estate while honoring its legacy. This is more than a home. It is a responsibility, a privilege, and an invitation to restore one of Sewickley Heights’ most storied residences to its rightful grandeur.
