Exquisite Historic Residence With Stunning Mellon Park Views

On one of Point Breeze/Squirrel Hill’s most distinguished and beautiful residential streets, 126 West Lyndhurst Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a large piece of Pittsburgh’s historical legacy and expansive grounds. Built in 1963 with one of the City’s well-known builders, this grand brick residence is next to Mellon Park. Rarely does a home come up for sale on West Lyndhurst because of its exclusivity, beauty and its proximity to the former Mellon Estate, Mellon Park Grounds and a rose garden. The home is on a large corner lot of a cul de sac and has had only one owner. Aside from the historic and breathtaking location with magnificent homes, the windows in the front and back of the house give views of the beautiful grounds and entire street. Step into the foyer with high ceilings where an original crystal chandelier from a palace in India greets you. The detail in the woodwork in the living room, den, and kitchen doorframes is amazing. Magnificent double ornate wooden doors into the dining room are from a church in Europe, dating back to the 1700s. The primary suite includes a large dressing room. The home has lots of closet space and a two-car integral garage with a bonus room for additional storage. The home’s backyard sits up against Mellon Park where on a summer Sunday you can enjoy Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Bach, Beethoven, and Brunch concerts, garden clubs, and other festivals. The living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows on the doors that open to a patio and the grounds in the back make for a great home to entertain family, friends, and guests.
