950 Blackburn Road, Sewickley, Pennsylvanie 15143

950 Blackburn Road is a 3,790-square-foot contemporary home on 5.16 private, wooded acres in Sewickley Heights. Built in 1980, the house was designed to work with its hillside site, pairing strong architectural lines with natural materials, most notably hand-laid river-stone masonry in the great room and on the terrace.
The approach is simple and understated: a long lawn under oaks and maples leads to a home faced in dark cedar with pitched gables. Inside, terracotta floors in a herringbone pattern lead past a floating staircase to a bright living room with coffered ceilings, walls of glass, and space for a baby grand piano. There are two wood-burning fireplaces — one in the two-story family room, one in the living room. Outside, a built-in stone charcoal grill and a wide-plank deck overlook the in-ground pool. The pool is fully private, surrounded by mature trees, and works equally well for entertaining or quiet swims.
The family room is the center of the house: a two-story space with a river-stone fireplace, an open staircase to a loft, and glass walls opening to a covered deck above the pool. The kitchen connects directly to this space and includes navy cabinetry, honed white quartz counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and double ovens.
A breakfast room opens to the gardens, good for morning coffee or casual dinners. The formal dining room, with sage-toned walls, is sized for larger gatherings at the center of the home.
The home has three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. The primary suite includes a cathedral ceiling with exposed white trusses, a private balcony, and a skylit bathroom with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and views of the surrounding trees.
A three-car garage, ample storage, and a utility-focused lower level keep the main living spaces clutter-free. The property is private but close to Sewickley Village, with easy highway access and about a 20-minute drive to downtown Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh International Airport.
