It's quirky, not a MM in my opinion. And for 5+ acres in Sewickley that doesn't seem an unreasonable price. Not for me, however, but I no longer live in the 'burg.
Yeah, that road is in a prime spot. Except for the fact that we’ve been dealing with a lot of collapsing roads around here—some of which are not even being repaired—so that might be a drawback.
So my understanding was that all the weird angles and rooflines and trusses was so that you could have the nice looking ("nice looking") cathedral ceilings on the inside.
But these ceilings are all insane and cockamamie?
Have the weird rooflines just become fashionable for their own sake even if it does make the inside worse?
Is this a case of a homeowner who fancied himself a bit of an architect?
They didn’t increase the value of that house by $2M… the exterior looks like a muddy mess… and with snow on the ground for the next 3 months, a barely gravel driveway won’t cut it. Sellers are delusional, this one will sit and never sell at that price. There’s just too many better options in the same area for a comparable price.
This is definitely one of the cheapest-looking $2.3MM house I’ve seen. All that flat grey sheetrock is just so sad.
Props to them for the geo--thermal and solar, that isn't cheap.
The house is ugly, no doubt, but with another bucket of money, it could be fixed.
Solid wood doors and trim, what looks to be nice stone work. 5 acres. Clean roof lines and practical layout.
Impressive how the decorating and landscaping is so bad that it over shadows all of the positives.
This is one of the areas where professional athletes from Pittsburgh tend to live while they're still working, so I'm curious whose house this was.
Guaranteed that an athlete did not live in this one.
And in the Pittsburgh area, this is considered very expensive. (as compared to a larger city with a higher cost of living)
The real McMansion is the neighbour in the third-to-last photo.
Aha. Yes.
💯💯💯
What the heck is going on with those property taxes?
Good question, I never noticed that!

Why would you possibly choose that house when you could have this one with more property right around the corner… https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/859-Blackburn-Rd-Sewickley-PA-15143/11555531_zpid/
Agreed. And that one has been for sale since April. It’s been a rough year around here for these expensive houses.

I hope you weren’t implying this one is the more McMansion one. This is a gem in need of a shine!
Never been a fan of post modernism architecture, so a post modern farmhouse is really not going to do it for me.
The aerial view is giving Winchester House, and not in a good way.
