A private retreat unlike anything else on the market. Tucked away in the secluded setting of Jackson Knolls, this distinctive one-owner contemporary is surrounded by nature, where a meandering stream winds through the property and creates an atmosphere of remarkable privacy and tranquility. Designed with dramatic scale and unmistakable character, the home unfolds through expansive rooms, soaring ceilings, warm wood accents and spectacular walls of glass that frame the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, an impressive floor-to-ceiling fireplace creates a striking architectural centerpiece while connecting the generous living and entertaining spaces. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and workspace, while oversized windows and multiple sliding doors blur the line between indoors and out. Two main-level bedrooms are complemented by a dramatic loft-style third bedroom, providing a unique retreat that could also serve beautifully as a private office, studio or guest space. Outside, the experience becomes even more extraordinary. Extensive decking and covered outdoor living areas create multiple destinations for entertaining, dining or simply enjoying the sounds of the stream and surrounding woods. Multiple garage and outbuilding spaces add exceptional versatility for vehicles, hobbies, equipment or storage. All of this privacy comes without sacrificing convenience. Enjoy an exceptional location just minutes to schools and Routes 108, 551 and I-376, with Pittsburgh International Airport approximately 40 minutes away. Architecturally distinctive, wonderfully private and impossible to duplicate, this Jackson Knolls property offers the opportunity to reimagine an extraordinary one-owner home in a setting that simply cannot be recreated!
Built in 1979 by one owner, for one family, with a point of view that still shows up in every room. You enter on a single level and the house opens up around you - cathedral windows, soaring ceilings, and a spiral staircase that climbs to the loft above. A two-sided gas fireplace sits at the heart of it, pulling the living and family rooms into each other's orbit. Everything lives on one level: two bedrooms, two full baths, a formal dining room, a separate family room, an eat-in kitchen, and main-floor laundry. The primary bedroom opens straight to the deck through a sliding glass door, porch swing included. Its full bath has a dual vanity, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom comes with its own en suite bathroom, a natural guest suite. Above the living room, a generous loft works as a third bedroom, a guest room, or a home office. The attached two-car garage finishes off the level. The house is well maintained where it counts. Recent seller investments: heat pump and furnace serviced, well system upgraded with a pressure booster, plumbing inspected, and fresh interior paint throughout. Outside, the property earns its acreage. A wrap-around deck runs off the back, with sliding-glass access from the family room, dining room and kitchen as well. There is a built-in gas pizza oven already in place, plus perennial gardens, creek views, an open meadow, and three outbuildings with room for storage, a workshop or a studio. This is a property with a vision already embedded in it. The right buyer will want to carry it forward. The cosmetics are yours to define. The bones, the land, and the architecture are already here.

Mid-century modern enthusiasts: this is the one. Some houses greet you before you're even inside. You turn off the road, pull through the trees, and something shifts. This is a home with presence. Built in 1979 by one owner, for one family, with a vision that still shows up in every room. You enter on a single level and the house opens up around you: floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows, soaring ceilings, a two-sided gas fireplace at the heart of the floor plan. A sculptural spiral staircase rises to the loft above. A layout designed with intention. Two bedrooms, two full baths, a formal dining room, a separate family room, eat-in kitchen, and main floor laundry all flow together on one level. The living room stops people. The two-sided gas fireplace sits at the center of the floor plan, drawing the living and family rooms into each other's orbit. The first bedroom includes an en suite bath. The second bedroom has private sliding glass door access to the deck, creating a natural guest wing with access to the second full bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. A generously sized loft above the living room is perfectly suited as a third bedroom, private guest suite, or home office with real presence. An attached two-car garage completes the level. Every room connects to the landscape outside it. The house is well maintained where it counts. Recent seller investments: heat pump and furnace serviced, well system upgraded with pressure booster, plumbing inspected, fresh interior paint throughout. Outside, the property earns its acreage. Tiered decks, a covered pergola, and a built-in gas pizza oven are already in place. So are the perennial gardens, the creek views, the open meadow, and three outbuildings with storage, workshop, or studio potential. This is a property with a vision already embedded in it. The right buyer will want to carry it forward. The cosmetics are yours to define. The bones, the land, and the architecture are already here. Photos include virtual staging and digitally rendered flooring to illustrate the home's design potential. Current finishes are original.
