The Baywood Mansion is one of the most distinctive, influential properties in all of Highland Park, a Pittsburgh neighborhood prized for its proximity to local eateries and fine dining options, as well as the large central park of the same name, which is complete with numerous walking trails, two lakes, lots of green space, the Pittsburgh Zoo and the PPG Aquarium.
A treasured family home for generations and the former site of the Pittsburgh Art Museum, this beautiful residence is the embodiment of Second Empire Victorian architecture and design, and its current, impeccable condition is reflective of the passion of the owners, who endeavored to preserve the home as a part of history.
One of the most historic homes in Pittsburgh, the Baywood Mansion offers the best of many possible worlds. Beyond the walls, the home has been extensively renovated and modernized.
Features include a newer electrical system, new plumbing, and air conditioning, a new boiler, and new appliances, including a 24,000watt backup generator. The porch and roof of the exterior have also been repainted, and the entire home is surge protected. For those who value properties of historical significance and love classic period details, such as hardwood floors, high ceilings, and floor-to- ceiling windows, yet who are averse to the risks, time, and expense involved with performing renovations, this is the ultimate opportunity.
This beautiful residence is the embodiment of Second Empire Victorian architecture and design, and its current, impeccable condition is reflective of the passion of the owners awaiting its exciting future — Baywood offers the best of many possible worlds. The home has been extensively renovated and modernized. The expansive porch features a consistent breeze and a view of the front governor’s drive.
Your family can enjoy the livability of this home throughout its spacious 9,280 square foot floor plan and start your chapter of Baywood’s history. What sets this property apart is the thoughtful preparation it has already undergone to once again accommodate a much larger and even more luxurious estate. This 6.7-acre property, with a successful perk test for a larger home, offers a unique opportunity.
The current 1957 all-brick home (which replaced the original mansion on this site) is a masterpiece of Junior Beam steel and concrete construction and has been meticulously and lavishly remodeled under the guidance of a prominent local designer. This residence could seamlessly become a guest wing, should you desire to augment your already distinguished estate or you could build an entirely separate residence.
